In the nine games that he has featured in since the All-Star break, he has averaged 23.1 points, 10.9 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game while shooting a remarkable 52.2% from the field and 52.5% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulls will have to make a contract decision regarding Giddey soon and based on his recent form, they must do everything possible to extend his time in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, the Bulls know better than most how damaging it can be to hand out a bg-money, long-term contract based on a good patch of form. So, they must be careful with the Giddey situation for sure.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of a deal would they have to give Giddey? Well, it might be around the $30 million per year mark that has been floating around since the summer.<\/p>\n<p>During an appearance on Nothing But Net, Brian Windhorst said about Giddey&#8217;s next contract: &#8220;The going rate for a starting point guard in the NBA is around $30 million. He is their starter. Now, if you look at a guy like Immanuel Quickley, he got five years and $162 million. That&#8217;s about $32 million a year, a year ago. I&#8217;m sure Josh Giddey is hoping for something like that. He&#8217;s not quite the scorer or the defender Quickley is, so maybe slightly less.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Discussing the upcoming offseason for Josh Giddey and where he stands entering possible RFA after some excellent play of late w\/@WindhorstESPN. pic.twitter.com\/7uQLoiNUu7<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Discussing the upcoming offseason for Josh Giddey and where he stands entering possible RFA after some excellent play of late w\/<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WindhorstESPN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WindhorstESPN<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7uQLoiNUu7\">pic.twitter.com\/7uQLoiNUu7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kane Pitman (@KanePitman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KanePitman\/status\/1899634605218828596?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 12, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A lot will depend on how the Bulls view Giddey. Is he their point guard of the future? If that is the case then handing him a deal around that level would not be a bad idea at all.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulls did trade Alex Caruso for Giddey. So, one would think that they do have long-term plans for him.<\/p>\n<p>It is also worth pointing out that the Bulls did extend Lonzo Ball recently, but considering his injury history, it is hard to imagine that he will be a starter anywhere moving forward. A high IQ role player might be his ceiling in the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josh Giddey has been the Chicago Bulls&#8217; best player since Zach LaVine was traded.
