Multiple NBA Teams Negotiate Potential Josh Giddey Trades

Josh Giddey remains a restricted free agent holding out for a contract exceeding $30 million annually, while the Chicago Bulls have offered a four-year deal worth $80 million but have not increased their offer beyond the $20 million per year range. Several teams, including the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings, have expressed interest in acquiring Giddey through a sign-and-trade, although the Bulls have shown reluctance to engage deeply in such discussions. The Warriors' potential trade for Giddey is complicated by their refusal to part with key assets like Buddy Hield and Moses Moody, hindering salary matching and making a deal unlikely to progress. Sacramento’s offseason moves suggest openness to adding a long-term point guard like Giddey, but any sign-and-trade with them would require significant additional pieces beyond Malik Monk. Meanwhile, a sign-and-trade involving Jonathan Kuminga and Giddey is reportedly being considered, which could send Giddey to the Warriors and Kuminga to the Bulls, creating a promising pairing for Golden State alongside Steph Curry. Despite external interest and strategic fits, Giddey’s contract negotiations and potential trades remain uncertain as the Bulls maintain firm control over his restricted free agency.
