Josh Giddey Seeks Record Deal With Bulls

Josh Giddey, age 22, is seeking a five-year, $150 million contract after a standout season with the Chicago Bulls, positioning himself as a top restricted free agent. Following the trade of Zach LaVine, Giddey excelled post-All-Star break, averaging over 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists per game. His desired deal would match Orlando Magic's Jalen Suggs and be among the largest NBA contracts ever awarded to an Australian player. Although the Bulls missed the playoffs, Giddey has become central to Chicago's rebuilding plans, with management publicly stating their intention to retain him. The Bulls have the salary cap flexibility to match any outside offer. While Giddey's strong finish and youth attract interest from other teams, his high asking price may limit potential suitors.
