The Chicago Bulls are currently in a deadlock with restricted free agent Josh Giddey over contract terms, similar to the Golden State Warriors’ situation with Jonathan Kuminga. Giddey is seeking a yearly salary of $30 million, whereas the Bulls have proposed a four-year deal worth $80 million.

Amidst these negotiations, there were whispers about a potential dual sign-and-trade involving Kuminga heading to Chicago and Giddey moving to the Bay Area.
However, this prospect seems increasingly doubtful, according to the latest information from Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.
“The Warriors are not actively pursuing Giddey this offseason, as confirmed by team sources from both organizations. The Giddey-Kuminga sign-and-trade scenario would be financially challenging for both teams to manage. Golden State remains steadfast in their initial offer to Kuminga.”

This scenario of Giddey-Kuminga S&T would be very difficult for both teams to solve financially.

Sign-and-trades are particularly tricky to execute because of the tax implications, and the complexity increases when both sides have their own financial constraints. The Warriors have expressed their intention not to part with Moses Moody and/or Buddy Hield in any such deal.”
Either of those two players would need to be included in any sign-and-trade, which is a major reason why they’ve shown no interest in offers from the Sacramento Kings or Phoenix Suns, who have both made bids for Kuminga.”
A quick (and belated) follow-up on the Jonathan Kuminga reporting from Friday: Anyone saying the first-round pick protections are the only obstacle to a Kings-Warriors sign-and-trade is wrong, as I’m told Golden State really doesn’t want to move either Buddy Hield or Moses Moody…

This scenario may have originated from Giddey’s representatives in an attempt to elevate his market value. Restricted free agents generally have limited bargaining power, so Giddey, Kuminga, Cam Thomas, and Quentin Grimes are all in similar positions, seeking innovative ways to generate interest.”
The Warriors have offered Kuminga a two-year, $45 million deal, which annually surpasses Giddey’s offer but falls short in terms of duration. Kuminga, like Giddey, is aiming for about $30 million per year.”
What’s Next for Josh Giddey?
With the Warriors now out of the picture, the Sacramento Kings have been hinted at as a possible suitor, though their involvement is speculative at best. The Kings have been known for their unpredictable moves over the past two decades, yet pulling off this deal seems far-fetched.
Giddey could opt to accept his qualifying offer and test unrestricted free agency next offseason. While risky, this could be beneficial if he continues to perform well following the All-Star break. It’s uncommon for players to accept their qualifying offers, but the tight budget this offseason makes it a consideration.
