Amid ongoing negotiations between the Chicago Bulls and Josh Giddey have come rumors that Giddey's backcourt mate, Coby White, will be looking for his own massive contract extension next summer. That should have no effect whatsoever on the franchise's desire to retain Giddey -- Chicago needs to keep both him and White, no matter the cost.
Giddey is the immediate concern. The Bulls and their 22-year-old point guard are still haggling over a new deal, but things are expected to come to an amicable(ish) conclusion before the season starts. The amount, length and structure are to be determined, but Chicago should be locking up its franchise point guard in the next few months.
