The Golden State Warriors are reportedly interested in pulling off a sign-and-trade deal for Josh Giddey, who Chicago has yet to lock down to a long-term contract extension. The longer the Bulls wait, the more rumors will swirl and the more doubt will creep into the entire ordeal.
If any team executive could stumble into another massive roster-building debacle, vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas would be near, or perhaps at, the very top of the list.
It's important to note that the Bulls are still expected to come to an agreement with Giddey before the start of the regular season.
