Among the bigger names still available in the NBA’s free agent market this offseason, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey remains unsigned. The Bulls are pushing to lock him into a long-term contract before the 2025-26 season tips off, but negotiations have stalled.
The Australian playmaker is holding out for a deal that guarantees him at least $30 million per year. Bobby Marks noted that Chicago has already sweetened its initial proposal.
“So when you dig around the Josh Giddey situation, who had a terrific year, certainly the last 25 games, he was offered four years, $80 million when free agency started; that number has gone up to four years, $88 million,” Marks said.
This report suggests the Bulls are pushing their offer closer to Giddey’s expectations. Brett Siegel also echoed this move
