RUMORS: Josh Giddey Seeks $150 Million Deal — Bulls Expected to Pay Up? Shouldn’t be expected?!!

Josh Giddey didn’t make the All-Star team this season. But he’s still on track for All-Star money.

Per Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Giddey is seeking a deal that would pay him at least $30 million per year — and the Bulls are expected to give it to him.

That would land somewhere around five years, $150 million for the fourth-year Thunder guard, who’s suddenly looking like a future face of the franchise… in Chicago.

“There’s no question,” Cowley wrote. “They’re going to pay him. It’s just a matter of when.”

And the timing? That could come fast.

RUMORS: Josh Giddey Seeks $150 Million Deal — Bulls Expected to Pay Up? Shouldn't be expected?!!.ts.thuong.

While Giddey’s overall season was solid, he caught fire after the All-Star break, averaging 21.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 9.3 assists, while shooting a blistering 50 percent from the field, 45.7 percent from deep, and nearly 81 percent from the line. In short, he played like a star.

Of course, the question in NBA circles remains — was this a breakout stretch, or just a hot streak?

The Bulls seem to believe it’s the former.

With Lonzo Ball still working his way back, and Coby White continuing his own rise. Chicago could be looking to hand the keys to Giddey and build around his unique, all-around game.

Prediction? Giddey gets the bag, the Bulls rolling the dice on his upside.
