Overview

  • Chicago has a long-term proposal on the table worth about $20 million per year, according to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network.
  • Josh Giddey’s camp is targeting roughly $30 million annually, per reporting from Jake Fischer, leaving a sizable gap still unresolved.
  • Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale forecasts a four-year, $96 million deal that includes a player option, framing it as a likely middle ground.
  • Interest from other teams, notably the Warriors, has cooled, reinforcing expectations that Giddey’s best path remains with the Bulls.
  • A Bulls front-office executive has called Giddey a foundational piece, and Chicago’s restricted-free-agent matching rights limit his external leverage while the qualifying-offer route remains a fallback.
