Though contract negotiations between the Chicago Bulls and Josh Giddey have been at a standstill for the vast majority of the summer, according to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, there appears to be an uptick in interest from GM Marc Eversley to get a deal done.
According to the insider, the franchise recently presented Giddey with a multi-year offer that is valued at around $20 million per season.
Sadly for both parties, this proposed deal is unlikely to result in a signing, as the AAV still falls well short of the 22-year-old's desired $30 million per-year salary demands that have been well-documented for months.
