<p>Josh Giddey has emerged with the Chicago Bulls recently after a slow start to the season. Giddey, who is represented by Daniel Moldovan and is 22, has a <a href="https://basketball.realgm.com/player/Josh-Giddey/NBA/150528/2025/By_Season/Advanced_Stats/Regular_Season">PER of 25.3 in nine games since the All-Star break</a> compared to 15.2 in 51 games before.</p>
<p>"The going rate for a starting point guard in the NBA is around $30 million," said Brian Windhorst on ESPN Australia. "He is their starter. If you look at a guy like Immanuel Quickley, he got five years and $162 million. That's about $32 million per year a year ago. I'm sure Josh Giddey is hoping for something like that. He's not quite the scorer or defender Quickley is, so maybe something a little less.</p>
<p>"The question is going to be if he doesn't get an offer sheet, will the Bulls play hardball and make him come back on a one-year contract, or actually reward him? Because they have extended Lonzo Ball.</p>
<p>"If they do see him as their point guard of the future, and that's why they traded Alex Caruso for him. I would expect them to try to invest in him."</p>
<p>The Bulls had a similar situation last offseason with Patrick Williams and signed him early in restricted free agency.</p>
<p>"I expect them to try to do something with Giddey. It has been puzzling why they kept his role narrow early on. I'm not sure that was a long-term strategy play. But I know this: I will bet on Josh Giddey and I will bet on him getting a very good contract whether he gets it this year or he has to wait another year and become an unrestricted free agent."</p>
