Overview

• The Bulls offered Giddey a four-year, $80 million deal, which falls about $10 million short of his $30 million-per-year target.
• As a restricted free agent, any external offer sheet could be matched by Chicago, discouraging other teams from bidding.
• Several rival front offices have declined to engage in sign-and-trade discussions with the cautious Bulls franchise.
• The Golden State Warriors have expressed interest in Giddey but acknowledge there is no viable trade framework at present.
• Giddey’s breakout 2024–25 season, with averages of 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists, highlights his importance to Chicago’s youth rebuild.
