“The Bulls and Giddey want to get a deal done,” said Bulls insider K.C. Johnson. “I don’t have particular numbers other than to say that Josh Giddey’s $30 million a year price tag that has been well-documented in media and out there since last fall when the rookie contract extension was discussed, has not ever crossed my radar. “I have never heard the Bulls mention that number. So I would not expect Josh Giddey to sign a $30 million [annual] deal.”

Joe Cowley: Bulls and Josh Giddey are having good dialogue, per a source, but the Giddey camp is dug in on the Suggs contract – $30 million per. Let the posturing continue. -via Twitter @JCowleyHoops / July 4, 2025
There is still no update on Josh Giddey’s potential extension with the Chicago Bulls. In fact, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said from his understanding the two sides aren’t coming to a deal “anytime soon” despite all reports suggesting Giddey is likely to stay in Chicago. The Aussie delivered a cryptic message on Wednesday, posting a photo of himself in Bulls colours including an hourglass, indicating the time passing. -via FOXSports.com / July 4, 2025
Josh Giddey: So, post-All-Star break, I tried to be more aggressive. I stopped trying to—well, I don’t want to say I stopped trying to fit in—but I tried to get back to being me and how I am as a player. Once I did that, I felt like I got my confidence back, that swagger you need when you play. Once you have a few good games, you start to build some momentum. It can be a snowball effect. That’s what I found in the second half of the year. I just tried to keep that momentum rolling through those last 30 or 40 games. And it worked out. We won, and our record was really good heading into the postseason. Obviously, it didn’t end the way we wanted it to. But personally, I felt like I finally got going. It took me forever. I felt like I was in a slump for so long. Once I finally clicked out of it after the break—maybe it was the trip to Cabo that gave me that reset—but yeah, I felt great coming back from All-Star.” -via YouTube / July 4, 2025
