Josh Giddey is a heck of a salesman after all.
The Bulls announced on Tuesday that they had a greed with Giddey on a four-year, $100-million contract extension, ending an ongoing false narrative that the two sides were dug into the dirt on opposing sides when it came to a new deal being reached.
The Sun-Times reported throughout the offseason that both sides were in fact optimistic on getting a deal done, with only a fair number to be decided on.
The newspaper reported last fall that Giddey and his camp wanted a Jalen Suggs, $30-million per year type extension, while the team was initially in the $22-$23 million per range.
