Giddeys contract
Kuminga and Giddey are really the only domino's to fall this offseason. Kuminga seems to have more interest but would have to be a sign and trade you'd assume since only the Nets would have the room to offer him a decent restricted offer.
But it seems the Bulls have the better bargaining power knowing no other teams are willing to offer the $30 million annually he wants, more around the $20-25 range.
If he signs the $11 million qualifying contract and bets on himself then it could be a big risk. He came on strong in the second half of the season, but if his shooting and defence desert him then he could have missed out a lot of guaranteed money.
A year or so ago the Spurs would have made perfect sense but now they've got a sudden logjam at PG. What other teams would make sense for him if he becomes unrestricted and have the need and cap room to sign him?
Maybe the best bet would to accept an offer around the $22 million per year given his past struggles in certain areas and lock himself up for the short term.
And god knows what the Bulls are thinking in terms of the future, plenty of rumours about a few trades, but do they want to bottom out or continue to be the Leastern conference playin team forever.
