Josh Giddey is a restricted free agent, which makes negotiations a bit trickier.<\/p>\n

But he’s seeking big money from the Chicago Bulls, if he can get it.<\/p>\n

He wants $30 million per year, according to Joe Crowley of the Chicago Sun-Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s approximately what the Orlando Magic gave Jalen Suggs. Giddey’s camp is “dug in” on that number, Crowley writes.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-8 Australian playmaker probably has a case for that kind of payday, but it’s also a tough case to make if other teams aren’t extending the RFA an offer sheet, so it remains to be seen what will happen.<\/p>\n

In 2024-25, Giddey averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, all slight improvements on already solid career averages.<\/p>\n

It was his first year in Chicago after he was traded from Oklahoma City for Alex Caruso.<\/p>\n

Giddey isn’t a great outside shooter, but he’s so good at other aspects of the game that he generally makes up for it.<\/p>\n

And if Suggs can get $30 million per year, so can Giddey, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n
