Josh Giddey is back. The 6-foot-8 point guard will return to the Windy City after reportedly signing a four-year, $100 million contract, following months of negotiations with the Chicago Bulls.
This comes days after Chicago raised its offer from $20 million to $22 million per annum as the offseason winds down. Giddey's qualifying offer, worth $11.1 million, was set to expire on October 1. As a result, there was real urgency to get the deal done.
Giddey is the second restricted free agent domino to fall, but the first of the notable four to sign a long-term contract.
