I'm furious but impressed.

There's like a decent chance we give Giddey a big ass deal to "build" around him and he regresses and we're fukked again

I'm really conflicted on what's the better outcome... having a Playoff Series to evaluate how Giddey looks in that environment or missing the Playoffs to get a lottery pick

Either way, they're paying Giddey

This team plays so much better now. They're actually fun to watch now.

The Chicago Bulls Need To Trade Coby White As Soon As Possible

If the Chicago Bulls wish to control their own destiny, they are practically forced to trade breakout guard Coby White as soon as possible.

www.forbes.com

That deal, however, has become too team-friendly, as Chicago has no way of extending White due to the 140% rule, something that has been covered on this site before.

Essentially, teams are allowed to extend a player's contract using 140% of the player's last salaried year as the calculation point. Alternatively, a team can use the league's average salary, and then go off the 140% from there, whichever is greatest.

Now, Chicago can technically offer more than anyone else in 2026, when White becomes an unrestricted free agent, but if they hang onto him for that long, they run the risk of losing him for nothing, given that other teams could outbid them.

Chicago, more than likely, won't make a max offer due to White likely not reaching that threshold. As such, teams can basically offer the same amount, unless Chicago drastically overpays. That, too, seems like a scenario the Bulls would like to avoid.

Looks like we're going to give Giddey a huge deal. If we want to keep Coby, we'll do the same. Our hope would be that Matas become that guy.
