Deal Accepted! Bulls Star Josh Giddey Agrees to 3-Year, $115 Million Contract Extension with Chicago Bulls as Their New Franchise Cornerstone
In a blockbuster move that sends a clear message about the future of the Chicago Bulls, rising star Josh Giddey has officially agreed to a 3-year contract extension worth $115 million
, securing his role as the team’s new franchise cornerstone. The deal, finalized just minutes ago, marks a major turning point in the Bulls’ ongoing rebuild and establishes Giddey as the centerpiece of their long-term vision.
Giddey, who arrived in Chicago via a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder, quickly captured the hearts of fans and the confidence of the front office with his elite court vision, versatile scoring ability, and unselfish playmaking. At just 21 years old, he has already drawn comparisons to legendary guards for his basketball IQ and ability to control the pace of the game.
In the 2024-2025 NBA season, Giddey averaged 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game, demonstrating his ability to impact all facets of the game. More than just statistics, his leadership on and off the court has inspired a sense of renewed belief in the Bulls locker room. Giddey’s basketball maturity and team-first mentality have impressed both head coach Billy Donovan and GM Marc Eversley, making this extension a top offseason priority.
“This is a massive step forward for the organization,” Eversley said. “Josh is everything we want in a player—tough, smart, unselfish, and still hungry to grow. We believe he can lead us into a new era of Bulls basketball.”
The $115 million price tag over three years reflects the Bulls’ faith in Giddey’s continued growth and potential to become an All-NBA caliber player. The deal also sends a strong signal to the rest of the league: Chicago is committed to building around a young core, and they are ready to invest heavily to compete in the Eastern Conference.
Bulls fans have embraced Giddey as one of their own, celebrating his hustle, clutch performances, and work ethic. With this new extension, expectations are high that Giddey will elevate his game even further and guide the Bulls back to the playoff spotlight—something they’ve been chasing since the departure of Derrick Rose and the rebuilding years that followed.
As Giddey now prepares for the upcoming season under the bright lights of the United Center, one thing is certain: Chicago has found its leader, and the future is beginning to look bright once again in the Windy City.
