The Chicago Bulls have been haggling with free agent Josh Giddey since last offseason, but the end to the saga is in sight, one way or another. The Bulls' latest reported proposal is a four-year deal in the $85-to-$90 million range, and now it's up to Giddey to accept it or settle for a one-year qualifying offer.
The two sides have been far apart since negotiations began, which was shortly after Chicago landed Giddey in a trade that sent Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Where he proceeded to immediately win a championship.) It's safe to assume the franchise didn't deal one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA for a 22-year-old floor general to watch him walk a year later.
