The Chicago Bulls and Josh Giddey have been trying to work out a new deal, but most reports say they are far apart with their respective demands.
Now, we are learning more about what the Bulls are willing to give Giddey.
According to K.C. Johnson, via NBACentral, the Bulls have offered Giddey a long-term contract worth around $20 million per season.
Will that be enough for the 22-year-old star?

Giddey is a restricted free agent and is reportedly seeking about $30 million per year in a new deal.
That isn’t what the Bulls are bringing to the table, so how can Giddey make them change their minds and give him more?
His first season with the Bulls saw him produce 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game.
He quickly became a vital part of the rotation, and it looked like he could be a long-term hero for the Bulls.
As luck would have it, his first season in the Windy City happened to come right as a new contract loomed.
The Bulls were aware of that, and they were hoping to quickly resolve this situation at the start of the offseason.
But it sounds like they have been arguing all summer, and no clear path forward has come to light.
Giddey wants more, but the Bulls will dig in their heels.
This situation may be resolved soon because training camp is coming, and the Bulls have to start thinking of their upcoming season.
For years, the team has been struggling to find a solid identity.
Giddey could be part of their path forward, but it’ll cost them.
So, are they willing to pay?
