Josh Giddey is a restricted free agent, which makes negotiations a bit trickier. But he's seeking big money from the Chicago Bulls, if he can get it. He wants $30 million per year, according to Joe Crowley of the Chicago Sun-Times.

The Chicago Bulls had one main goal this offseason, and that was to bring back Josh Giddey. One offseason after they flipped Alex Caruso for him, Giddey hit restricted free agency.

Reports since October have continually cited an asking price of $30MM annually from Giddey and his reps. Several of 2024’s top rookie scale extension candidates were seeking that same per-year salary at the time, and Suggs and Hawks forward Jalen Johnson ended up at exactly that figure, signing five-year deals worth $150MM apiece.
