Take a step back! The Bulls and the backcourt star completed the contract renewal at a relatively reasonable price?

According to ESPN authoritative reporter Shams Charania, the Chicago Bulls have reached an agreement with Josh Giddey, a backcourt star who was previously in restricted free agent form. Kiddey received a four-year contract with a total amount of 100 million yuan from the Bulls. Kiddy's agent Daniel Moldovan told Shams that the contract is a fully guaranteed contract that does not include any player or team options.

According to previous news, Kiddy and his team hope to get a long-term contract with an annual salary of around $30 million. The Bulls initially offered a long-term contract with an annual salary of $20 million. Then the Bulls offered Kiddy another four-year contract with a total amount of $88 million, but Kiddy believes that the price is still significantly lower. In the end, both sides made a certain degree of compromise and reached an agreement at the intermediate figure of 25 million US dollars. I believe this is an acceptable and satisfactory price for both Kiddy and the Bulls.

Kidy is the backcourt star from Australia in the 2021 NBA Draft. After staying in the Thunder for three years, Kiddy was sent to the Bulls by the Thunder last summer. In the NBA regular season last season, Kiddy played 70 times for the Bulls in 82 games, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, averaging 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 2.9 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 46.5% from the field, 37.8% from three-point shooting percentage and 78.1% from free throws. In the playoff game against the Miami Heat, Kiddy played 39 minutes and 37 seconds in the game, made 9 of 21 shots, 2 of 7 from the three-point line, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 25 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, and had 3 turnovers and 4 fouls.

Kidy actually showed outstanding scoring ability, excellent passing ability and organizational ability when playing for the Thunder, but he still had certain problems in defense and outside shooting. The most important thing is that the Thunder did not have a high demand for Kiddy, which is also an important factor in their choice to send him away and exchange him for the outside gate from the Bulls. After joining the Bulls, Kiddy's performance in last season has indeed improved a lot. He has made significant progress in offensive shooting. He can still show extremely high standards in passing and organization. He is also the team's absolute pillar and future hope for the team's backcourt. Keeping Kiddy is also a very critical step for the Bulls' future construction. I wonder what Kiddy will perform in the NBA regular season after getting the big contract next time.
