Matt Johnson covers the Chicago Bulls’ pivotal offseason, with the front office negotiating from a position of strength in restricted free agency talks with Josh Giddey. Giddey is reportedly seeking a five-year deal worth around $150 million, but the Bulls are in no rush to overpay, leveraging a limited market for the young guard. The episode explores Giddey’s impact, Chicago’s rebuilding strategy around him and Coby White, and the broader implications for the Bulls’ roster as they aim to make smart, franchise-shaping decisions this summer.

Host Matt Johnson provides a comprehensive update on the Chicago Bulls’ offseason, focusing on the ongoing restricted free agency negotiations with Josh Giddey. The Bulls are leveraging their position to potentially secure Giddey for around $30 million per year, especially as the Brooklyn Nets—previously a top competitor—may be out of the running after acquiring Michael Porter Jr. Johnson also discusses persistent trade rumors involving Nikola Vučević and the possibility of an Anfernee Simons-for-Vučević deal with Boston, which could benefit both teams. The episode covers the return of Emanuel Miller on a two-way contract, recaps notable NBA free agency moves, and analyzes the impact of Miles Turner’s surprising move to Milwaukee and Damian Lillard’s subsequent waiver and payout as he rehabs in Portland.
