It&#8217;s not clear when he&#8217;ll sign a new deal, but the latest rumors suggest he&#8217;s likely to head back to the Chicago Bulls. However, he may not receive the $30 million annually that&#8217;s been noted by the media in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>In the latest episode of \u201cThe Fastbreak,\u201d featuring Bulls insider K.C. Johnson, Johnson claims that both the organization and Josh Giddey want to finalize a deal.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago is in no rush, as the franchise holds the upper hand due to Giddey being a restricted free agent. But overall, Johnson claims he has not heard from the rumor mill that the front office plans to pay Giddey $30 million annually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Bulls and Giddey want to get a deal done,\u201d said Bulls insider K.C. Johnson. \u201cI don&#8217;t have particular numbers other than to say that Josh Giddey&#8217;s $30 million a year price tag that has been well-documented in media and out there since last fall when the rookie contract extension was discussed, has not ever crossed my radar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have never heard the Bulls mention that number. So I would not expect Josh Giddey to sign a $30 million [annual] deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Fastbreak: Why Noa Essengue &amp; Matas Buzelis are frontcourt of the future, Giddey's RFA market\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3WO0KByRE7M?start=75&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Chicago traded for Josh Giddey in the summer of 2024, giving the team a solid young guard to develop with the rest of the young players on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>In his first year with the Bulls, the 22-year-old guard played 70 games. Putting up starting minutes, Giddey averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game while owning a 46.5% field-goal percentage and going 37.8% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n<p>As a restricted free agent, if any team offers Josh Giddey a contract, the Bulls will have the opportunity to match it, keeping him in Chicago. Additionally, the front office also has the option to offer the former first-round pick. But with rumors suggesting that the restricted free-agent market is slow, Chicago is seemingly being patient before making a final decision.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumors are swirling that Josh Giddey is not going to receive a contract from the Chicago Bulls that pays him $30 million annually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":77570,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[43,473,45,594],"class_list":["post-77567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-chicago-bulls","tag-josh-giddey","tag-nba","tag-nba-rumors"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
