From 4 for 80
To 4 for 88
To 4 to 100
Like...who the fukk even wants Josh Giddey for the Bulls to need to pay him 25 a year ?
But I guess if he does leave you gave away Caruso for nothing
there's that, but 4/$100 is not a bad deal. It's just that anything discussed prior was the Bulls getting a sweetheart deal. It's the going rate for what players like Giddey offer. Giddey sought $30 mil a year. Chicago offered $20 mil. Y'all ultimately met in the middle on a deal that can appreciate as the cap rises.
they were bidding against themselves and it cost them an extra $20M
You weren't bidding against yourselves. To not budge off your original deal is simply telling Giddey, "take the QO because we don't really want you here."
As it stands, Giddey is currently your highest paid player in a league where guys are making twice as much as him to be expendable elsewhere. Bulls are gonna have money to play with next summer. Giddey doesn't impact that at all.
