Josh Giddey has been playing some of the best basketball of his career since arriving to play for the Chicago Bulls. Giddey is currently averaging 14.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 7.0 assists on the season while shooting 46.9% from the field.
Giddey has been on a tear recently, averaging 22.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 12.3 assists in his last three games as the Bulls are 3-0 against the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets in that stretch. Giddey made headlines for his play in the first game against the Lakers, finishing with a triple-double.
Giddey had an even better game against the Lakers last night, as he finished with 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists, along with the game-winning buzzer beater from half-court. It was one of the craziest shots of the season, and it sent the United Center into a frenzy.
With Giddey playing at his best, many are wondering if his play alongside Coby White could help boost his next contract?
Josh Giddey’s Net Worth, Salary, and Contract
Giddey is in the final year of his 4-year, $27,214,807 rookie contract, as he will become a restricted free agent in the offseason. For the 2024-2025 NBA season, Giddey is making $8,352,367, which is great value considering his level of play this season.
Giddey boasts a net worth of $10 million reportedly, with the endorsement deal for cereal brand Wee-Bix contributing to that. Giddey signed a 4-year, $40 million deal in 2021, which was more lucrative than his actual NBA contract.
What’s Next For Josh Giddey’s Contract Extension?
There’s a lot of implications on the next contract for Giddey, as he’s earned his way to a lucrative deal this offseason, assuming the Bulls want to keep him. All signs are pointing to the Bulls making the attempt to keep Giddey, as his success with the team makes him a valuable asset.
There are some who believe that Giddey could command up to $30 million per year, similar to Jalen Suggs and his deal with the Orlando Magic. If Giddey could get anywhere between $20 million to $30 million this upcoming offseason, I’m sure he would be a happy man.
There’s always a slight chance that Giddey could leave the Bulls, but he’s raved about the organization for a while now, pointing out how well they’ve treated him and appreciate his talents.
Will Giddey sign a massive deal with the Bulls? Could he look elsewhere? That remains to be seen. Whatever Giddey decides to do, he has the momentum to raise his asking price.
