Luka Donu010diu0107 on Aug. 2 signed a three-year, $165 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers. Donu010diu0107's new deal includes a player option, something the Chicago Bulls should consider offering Josh Giddey in their quest to lock down the floor general long term.
To state the obvious, Giddey isn't Donu010diu0107 and won't ever see the kind of money the Lakers star will. But he's a key cog in the Bulls' system, and the organization wants him to stick around. The two sides have yet to reach an agreement, however, and with Giddey hoping for $30 million per year on his extension and Chicago aiming closer to $20 million, there's a significant chasm.
