Chicago Bulls Player Reportedly Wants $150 Million Contract

This summer, the Bulls have a big decision to make on Giddey, as he is a restricted free agent.

Via Evan Sidery of Forbes (on May 1): "Josh Giddey is likely to receive around a $100 million extension this offseason

Entering restricted free agency, the expectation is Giddey will earn an annual salary in the $25+ million range.

Chicago’s top priority appears to be retaining Giddey as a key long-term core piece."

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Giddey is looking for a contract in the range of $150 million.

Via Scotto's article on HoopsHype: "The belief around the league is Bulls restricted free agent guard Josh Giddey hopes to command a similar five-year, $150 million deal to Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs and earn roughly $30 million annually or more."

Considering Giddey's age and production, it's very possible that he could end up getting a big deal.

After the All-Star break, he was among the best guards in the NBA.

Via @StatMamba (on March 27): "Josh Giddey since All-Star break:

22.8 PPG
10.5 RPG
9.2 APG
2.4 STL + BLK
53/52/81%"

The Bulls lost to the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament.
