For nearly a decade, the Chicago Bulls have existed in a state of limbo, good enough to compete but never good enough to truly matter. The “play-in purgatory” label has clung to them like an unwanted nickname. But this season, something feels different. Four games into the 2025-26 NBA campaign, the Bulls are undefeated for […]

Prior to the start of the 2024-25 season, the Oklahoma City Thunder made two crucial moves that enabled their leap from good to great team. They acquired Isaiah Hartenstein in free agency to patch up their rebounding woes, and then in a bit of a surprise, they traded away Josh Giddey, a member of their […]

For the first time since 2021, the Chicago Bulls are off to a 3-0 start to the season. On Monday, they came back from 13 points down to defeat the Atlanta Hawks 128-123. Now the Bulls will try to go for 4-0 on Wednesday as they take on the Sacramento Kings. In the process, they […]

After a sluggish start, the Chicago Bulls found themselves in contention with the Atlanta Hawks. Fortunately, Josh Giddey, who was listed as questionable due to a finger injury, was in the starting rotation and finished with a double double (18 points, 13 rebounds). Additionally, Matas Buzelis came around in the second half to come away […]

Obviously, a four-year $1oo million deal says plenty about how the Chicago Bulls feel about Josh Giddey. As a result, it is incumbent upon him to stay healthy. However, on Monday, Giddey was officially listed as questionable on the injured list before the Bulls’ game against the Atlanta Hawks.  Giddey is battling a right 4th […]

They call Chicago the “Windy City,” but was it also gusty inside the United Center on Wednesday night? It was likely not, but Bulls guard Josh Giddey threw up a shot early in their season opener at home against the Detroit Pistons that looked as though it was blown away from its intended target. During […]

The news that Coby White will miss the start of the season due to a calf injury was not what the Bulls were hoping for. After all, White is their dynamic scorer and playmaker as well as the team leader. The guy around whom the offense revolves. Indeed, his absence will be felt, but luckily […]

In basketball, free throws do plenty of good. Nobody knows that better than Wilt Chamberlain, despite being a poor free-throw shooter, who was 28-for-32 in his historic 100-point game in 1962. Perhaps the second name that comes to mind is Shaquille O’Neal for apparent reasons. Fast forward to today, and the Chicago Bulls are hopefully […]

When it comes to the Chicago Bulls, a huge focus this year will be on Josh Giddey. For obvious reasons, he signed a four-year $100 million contract that makes him the guy they want to build around for the future. The culminating point of a longstanding stalemate that plagued the summer. Then of course, there […]

However, Giddey made it clear that […]

For the last few years, the Chicago Bulls have been caught in the hamster wheel. In other words, feeling trapped. However, with the new season approaching, the Bulls are looking to get back to form.  A place where, at the very least, they could contend for the playoffs while developing a group of young talent […]

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey can start the season with a clear conscience after agreeing to a $100 million contract for four years. Despite the dollar amount, ESPN appears to not think too highly of Giddey. On Tuesday, ESPN officially released its NBA rankings of the 100 best players, and Giddey was not there, per […]

The Chicago Bulls finished ninth in the Eastern Conference last season with a 39-43 record, losing during their play-in tournament appearance against the Miami Heat.

The Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga have still not come to a common ground on a contract extension, as both sides have stood firm.

The Chicago Bulls and Josh Giddey have finally reached an agreement, with a four-year, $100 million contract extension being signed on Tuesday.

The Chicago Bulls are locked in a contract stalemate with Josh Giddey. Altogether, the Bulls have been unwavering in offering Giddey $20 million per year. However, Giddey believes he is worth $30 million. Recently, the Bulls made Giddey an offer of $80 million for four years, approximately $22 million each year. That is well below […]

It is now September, and the start of training camps is right around the corner. While the restricted free agency market has dragged on, leaving the likes of Jonathan Kuminga and Josh Giddey without contracts, the first domino has fallen with Cam Thomas.

For years, NBA 2K ratings have sparked heated debates among fans, analysts, and even players themselves. The Chicago Bulls’ roster in 2K26 is no different, a lineup riddled with baffling over valuations and glaring underestimations that simply don’t reflect reality. A team often criticized for being stuck in NBA purgatory has suddenly been painted in […]

For decades, the Chicago Bulls were synonymous with winning. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen defined a dynasty, Derrick Rose carried a new generation of hope, and even in their leaner years, there was always a sense that brighter days were around the corner. Fast forward to today, and when the Bulls come up in conversation, […]

Josh Giddey still hasn’t reached a deal with the Chicago Bulls this offseason, but an interesting post from Matas Buzelis on Wednesday has people thinking that a deal might be done soon. After ending the season on a surge, Giddey positioned himself to earn a nice new contract with the Bulls this offseason. There has […]

All that remains unknown this NBA offseason is how the restricted free agent market will unfold with Josh Giddey and Jonathan Kuminga. Although Quentin Grimes and Cam Thomas are also restricted free agents this summer, all the focus has been on Giddey and Kuminga for different reasons. In the Chicago Bulls’ case, Giddey has wanted […]

The Chicago Bulls are trying to sort out some roster details ahead of the 2025-26 NBA season, including most notably what to do about the contract situation of Josh Giddey.

As the NBA’s offseason continue to roll on, a few key names have yet to have their free agency situations resolved, namely Josh Giddey and Jonathan Kuminga.

One of the major questions for the Chicago Bulls this offseason has involved the future of point guard Josh Giddey, who turned into a triple double machine down the stretch of last season. Still, for a while it has appeared that the two sides are quite far apart on talks for a potential new deal […]

The Golden State Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga are still not on the same page when it comes to an extension or a sign-and-trade. At this point, the longer this goes on, the more Kuminga’s value will likely decrease, and it might be best for him to take the two-year deal that the Warriors are offering. […]

Jonathan Kuminga isn’t the only restricted free agent being held up in negotiations this offseason, as Josh Giddey and the Chicago Bulls have yet to find common ground on a new contract. The main difference between Giddey’s situation and that of Kuminga with the Golden State Warriors is that all signs point to the 22-year-old […]

Josh Giddey’s contract talks with the Chicago Bulls is one of the longest ongoing standoffs of this offseason. Giddey, along with fellow restricted free agents Quentin Grimes and Jonathan Kuminga, wanted bigger deals this offseason. However, Bulls general manager Marc Eversley has not met the point guard’s demands. However, a compromise could be on the […]

The Indiana Pacers were one of the feel-good stories of the 2024-25 NBA season, until they weren’t. A surprise run to the NBA Finals sparked hope and signalled that their young core, led by Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, was ready to contend. But entering the 2025 offseason, reality set in. Haliburton’s lingering injury, reportedly […]

The Chicago Bulls have spent the past few seasons clinging to the middle. They have straddled the line between trying to win now and preparing for a rebuild.

Entering August, […]

Josh Giddey has reportedly been displeased with the Chicago Bulls’ offers during their negotiations for a contract extension.
