According to ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania, Giddey signed a four-year extension with the Bulls, which signifies his status on the team&#8217;s roster.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cRestricted free agent Josh Giddey has reached an agreement on a four-year, $100 million deal to re-sign with the Chicago Bulls, agent Daniel Moldovan of Lighthouse Sports Management tells ESPN.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p>Just in: Restricted free agent Josh Giddey has reached agreement on a four-year, $100 million deal to re-sign with the Chicago Bulls, agent Daniel Moldovan of Lighthouse Sports Management tells ESPN. pic.twitter.com\/RtJqf7P679<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/1965493445042245854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1965493445042245854%7Ctwgr%5E9a0e35c98204dfbaace12d47a2a677f1376b2a9a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportingnews.com%2Fus%2Fnba%2Fchicago-bulls%2Fnews%2Fjosh-giddey-inks-4-year-100m-extension-bulls%2Fb227e759331ad2a3b899f321<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The extension sends a clear message: Giddey is now a cornerstone of the Bulls\u2019 rebuild, not just a trade asset. His ability to impact the game in multiple facets\u2014scoring, distributing, rebounding\u2014gives 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\u2014and stays healthy\u2014this deal could mark the turning point for Chicago\u2019s hopes in a loaded Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n<h2>Josh Giddey&#8217;s Statistical Leap in Chicago<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, he posted seven triple-doubles, the second most in Bulls single-season history, just trailing Michael Jordan\u2019s 1988-89 record of 15 triple-doubles. After the 2025 All-Star break, Giddey\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The extension sends a clear message: Josh Giddey is now a cornerstone of the Chicago Bulls\u2019 rebuild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":100666,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udea8 GIDDEY GAME-CHANGER?
