Overview

• The restricted free agent and Chicago have negotiated all summer without reaching an agreement.
• Jake Fischer reports the Bulls’ recent offer at four years and $80 million, while Giddey is seeking roughly $30 million annually.
• Bleacher Report’s Dan Favale predicts a four-year, $96 million contract with a player option in the final season as the likely compromise.
• Rival pursuit has cooled, including earlier looks from the Warriors, leaving Chicago as Giddey’s most probable landing spot.
• A Bulls executive has called Giddey a foundational player, and he averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists on 46.5% shooting and 37.8% from three last season.
