Bulls should extend him. His market value has plummeted coming off a statistical regression last season, getting benched during the playoffs and OKC media bashing him. And if bulls extend him now they could get him for cheap. You’re right he’s not gonna get any cheaper than he is now.

[@danielsinni452]

Yeah but how cheap is that? $25 mil? $15 mil? $20 mil?

As a Thunder fan who is also an unashamed Josh fan it’s interesting to hear external opinions that place a much higher value on him than a large % of the OKC fan base. Josh is simply a victim of great trading and excellent drafting by them, I don’t think anyone realise just how good JDub would be. Excited to see what Josh can deliver if given the opportunity to run the team.

I actually think we’re witnessing a gm masterclass via Chicago…sleeper

AK & Marc Eversley absolutely don't necessarily have to give Josh Giddey an extension at all. Especially if Giddey has a bad upcoming season. The Bulls could easily let Giddey go for nothing. Cause the Bulls most definitely don't need to be locked into another horrible extension like they did with Vooch.

4 for 120 million with team option in the 4th. I think he will get about 30 a year

I'm favoured $130k every 4 weeks! I now have a good house and can afford anything and also support my family
