Latest On Josh Giddey | Hoops Rumors
The Bulls and their restricted free agent guard are reportedly apart by about $8-10MM per year in contract negotiations.
www.hoopsrumors.comHere’s the latest I can provide based on recent reporting:
-
Josh Giddey agreed to a four-year contract worth about $100 million with the Chicago Bulls, confirmed by multiple outlets, and is described as a fully guaranteed deal with no player or team options. This followed a negotiation period during the 2025 offseason after Chicago acquired him in a trade with Oklahoma City.
-
The agreement was reported around early September 2025 and subsequently finalized in September, per ESPN’s Shams Charania and NBA transaction logs. The deal places Giddey among the higher-paid young guards on a long-term commitment in Chicago.
-
Additional context from various outlets indicates the Bulls pursued a market-aligned figure, and the contract appears to have been the middle ground between Giddey’s camp and the Bulls given cap considerations and the restricted free-agent framework.
