Giddey, who has been the team's starting guard since being traded to the NBA Bulls this season, played his best monthly performance since joining the Bulls in February, and Chicago reporter Dwayne Johnson predicted his likely annual salary under his next contract on February 28.

Johnson noted on "670 The Score," Johnson said: "I'm more inclined to speculate at the average salary for his next contract, I don't think it's going to be 20 million, I don't think it's going to be 30 million, I think he's going to be between $22 million and $24 million a year, and that speculation is due to my past experience."

In addition, Johnson added: "Giddey has been very good since the start of the second half of the season, but I don't think the team is going to change the evaluation of a player in a short period of time. Based on what I've heard so far and what I've reported online, I think they've learned a lot from Patrick Williams' situation in the past, so I think the Bulls are in a better position to negotiate with Giddey, and I expect Giddey to come back to the Bulls. ”

With Giddey going to be a free agent next season, the team's current attitude is more like: "If you want to get a contract that exceeds our offer, we'll let you in Libreville and ask for an offer while we further evaluate the possibility of a match." But there aren't too many teams in the market right now with a lot of salary space, so we have time to keep watching what happens to other teams. ”

Giddey averaged 13 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game since joining the Bulls this season, and his performance in February averaged 19.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, including his much-criticized outside shooting to a high level of 56%.
