Josh Giddey was looking for Jalen Suggs-like contract, worth five years, $150.5 million, from Bulls

Acquired from Oklahoma City in the Alex Caruso deal last offseason, Josh Giddey is due for an extension this summer. According to a source, Giddey, who was selected No. 6 overall, was initially looking for a Jalen Suggs-like deal after the Orlando point guard was extended for five years at $150.5 million (about $30 million per year). Those negotiations stalled in the fall, so Giddey will be a restricted free agent. Executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas has insisted that he was looking to keep Giddey long term, but that was before the weaknesses in his game were seen first-hand. Of the top six picks in that ’21 draft class, Giddey is the only player not receiving an extension yet.
