NBA: NBA Championship star Kyrie Irving has made the stunning omission that he would be open to playing for the Australian Boomers.
The deadline for the NBA’s rookie contract extensions has come and gone, and Josh Giddey didn’t receive a new deal from the Chicago Bulls.
Giddey, 22, is currently on a four-year, US $27 million contract he signed with the Thunder since being taken with the No. 7 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. The Bulls’ preference is to wait and see how the point guard fares on his new team before they make a call on forking out big money to retain him. In fact, in over four years with Chicago, Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas has never signed a player to a rookie extension. Though this might say more about the players they’ve had than Karnisovas’ strategy.
If Chicago trades Zach LaVine and/or Nikola Vucevic, Giddey’s role for the team will be even more prominent.
