Nearly two months have gone by, and Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey remains a free agent. The stalemate comes down to Giddey’s price tag and the Bulls’ refusal to meet it. The standoff continues as Giddey aims for $30 million per season, while the Bulls have stuck to a four-year, $80 million offer.
Nonetheless, a resolution appears to be on the horizon. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Bulls and Giddey could make progress on finalizing a new contract following Labor Day weekend. Fischer suggested that players returning to their facilities could provide the push needed for the two sides to finalize a new deal.
