Josh Gidey renews Bulls for four years

The four first round picks in 2021, Gidey (6th pick), Kumingga (7), Grams (25), and Cam Thomas (27), were all stuck in the renewal of their rookie contracts with their old club this offseason.

In particular, the tug of Kumingga and the Warriors has popularized all fans the basic knowledge of "rookie contract renewal" and "qualification quotation", which can be regarded as a great achievement.

A few days ago, Kam Thomas took the lead in admitting his defeat and accepted the Nets' annual qualification contract of 6 million yuan. When he has the right to veto the transaction next season, he will be a complete free agent test for the offseason market by 2026.

Today, according to the NBA "revelation king" Shams Charania, Josh Giddy also reached a four-year contract with the Bulls, with no additional options, and a real four-year contract.

also ensures stable returns for the Australian star over the next four years.

Logically speaking, Giddy and the Bulls should not have been so difficult.

He is not a pure scorer with great limitations like Thomas and Grams. After coming to the team last season, he quickly became an unquestionable core of ball holding, averaging 14.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 7.1 rebounds per game. In the last 19 games, he soared to 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and even contributed the "10.9 minutes" final victory that made LeBron James and the Lakers very embarrassed.

No matter from any perspective, giving him a big contract and becoming the cornerstone of future team building with Kobe White and Boozelis is a choice without hesitation.

Perhaps the Bull was afraid of his big moves in the past two years. This time, his contract renewal with Gidy seemed extremely cautious and determined, and he was unwilling to give him more.

Gidey's revenue in the next four seasons will be 22.32 million, 24.1 million, 25.89 million and 27.68 million respectively, which is very cost-effective.

It can be said that among the four players, Kumingga is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, because his renewal and how his method directly affects the Warriors' reinforcement method this year. Among the two who have renewed their contract, Thomas is Kumingga's "lower limit".

If you really accept the qualification quotation, it will be a loss for him and the Warriors. The Warriors will likely be wasted another year after locking the lineup. Kumingga not only wasted 100% under Cole, but also faced the risk of being marginalized or even banned.

Josh Giddy represents the "upper limit" of the Kumingga incident.

This is what the Warriors and players are willing to see. Long-term contracts not only mean resetting the training cycle, but more importantly, the contract with an average salary of 25 million is very good at taking advantage of and matching in the future market, as long as Kumingga is not as bad as Simmons.

But it is a bit of a dream to expect Kumingga to renew his contract like Josh Giddy. The biggest difference between

Kuminga and the other three is that

The two sides are close to breaking up. Kuuminga no longer believes that the Warriors have the opportunity to realize their own value. As long as the Warriors are Cole as the head coach, they will never really use their physical talent to explode, but the football merchant owes Kuuminga.

According to reporter Monte Poole, Kumingga is expected to accept a qualification offer of 7.9 million yuan for the Warriors.

"The qualification quotation deadline is October 1. During this period, Horford and other free agent veterans are also quietly waiting for the situation to be clear."

It has been less than a month since this day, and the training camp in the new season has also started before this. That is to say, if the Warriors really delay until early October to determine whether Kuminga will stay or not, then in extreme cases, they will not be able to make up a 15-man roster at the beginning of the training camp.

Two days ago, a reporter (Rob Murrows) revealed that the Warriors and Horford had signed a two-year, $11.7 million contract, but neither a big reporter like Shams nor the league officials followed up on the deal. Horford's current state is still free.

Cuminga is currently like a shackle stuck in the Warriors' neck. As long as his problem is not solved, the team will never be able to move.

As a league giant team, it was suppressed by a young man with a rookie contract. This is the first time I have seen this offseason.
