It was a negotiation.
It was always a negotiation.
So all the outside noise from out-of-touch websites and “insiders” about Josh Giddey and the Bulls organization being locked into some sort of cold war was just that – out of touch.
The Sun-Times reported in late July that both sides felt confident a deal would get done and both sides considered the dialogue civil throughout.
Giddey confirmed all of that with Bulls beginning training camp this week.
“Obviously when you hit free agency, restricted or unrestricted – I was restricted – rumors will start to circulate and for me I let my management and agent handle those sides of things with the front office here,” Giddey said.
