Bulls Re-Sign Josh Giddey to Four-Year, $100 Million Deal

The fully guaranteed contract reflects a negotiated middle ground shaped by restricted‑free‑agent limits plus a thin cap‑space market.

Overview

  • Agent Daniel Moldovan told ESPN that Giddey’s deal is fully guaranteed with no player or team options and runs through the 2028–29 season, and the Bulls announced the signing without disclosing terms.
  • Talks had stalled for months between Giddey’s target near $30 million annually and Chicago’s offers around $20 million, resulting in a $25 million‑per‑year compromise after limited outside leverage for a restricted free agent.
  • Giddey, 22, is coming off career highs with Chicago at 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists, shooting 37.8% from three with seven triple-doubles and a post‑All‑Star surge to near triple‑double averages.
  • Chicago acquired Giddey from the Thunder for Alex Caruso in 2024, and prior off‑court allegations were reviewed by the NBA and Newport Beach police with no charges filed.
  • At roughly $25 million per year, the agreement makes Giddey the Bulls’ highest‑paid player and ranks among the offseason’s relatively few $100 million‑plus free‑agent contracts.
