The extension sends a clear message: Giddey is now a cornerstone of the Bulls’ rebuild, not just a trade asset. His ability to impact the game in multiple facets—scoring, distributing, rebounding—gives the Bulls a versatile spine to build around. But questions remain: Can the supporting cast around him rise to challenge contenders? Will Chicago improve defensively and surround Giddey with enough shooting and spacing? If Giddey continues ascending—and stays healthy—this deal could mark the turning point for Chicago’s hopes in a loaded Eastern Conference.

Josh Giddey’s Statistical Leap in Chicago

At just 22 years old, Josh Giddey turned in a breakout campaign after arriving via trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder, in exchange for Alex Caruso. His 2024-25 season with the Chicago Bulls saw career-highs in multiple categories: 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game over 70 games. He also shot a career-best 37.8% from three and made 105 triples overall.

Notably, he posted seven triple-doubles, the second most in Bulls single-season history, just trailing Michael Jordan’s 1988-89 record of 15 triple-doubles. After the 2025 All-Star break, Giddey’s numbers spiked: in one stretch, he averaged 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 9.3 assists, demonstrating his potential as an elite lead guard.
