Fighting against the Bulls! Giddy misses the maximum salary! 1 for 1 transaction to help the Thunder win the championship

On July 15, the free market has been open for half a month, and Josh Gidey has not reached a contract extension with the Bulls. Gidey is currently training in Las Vegas, but he has not appeared on the sidelines of the summer league to support the Bulls, and is suspected of being dissatisfied with the management. At the same time, several other players from the Bulls came to watch the summer league. What is the contradiction between

Gidey and the Bulls? In the final analysis, it is impossible to reach an agreement on the renewal amount. Giddy insists on signing a Sages-like contract ($151 million in five years), with an average salary of more than $30 million. After the free market opened this year, the Bulls offered Gidey a one-year qualification offer of $11.1 million.

The leader explained the qualification quotation, which is not a formal renewal quotation. After the parent team issues a qualification quote, the player becomes a restricted free agent, and the parent team retains the qualification to match the quotes of other teams. If the player wants to completely leave the parent team, he can first accept the qualification offer and become a full free agent the following summer.

This summer, the Warriors offered Kumin a one-year qualification offer of $7.9 million. If no other teams have formal offers, Kumingga will accept the qualification offer and leave the Warriors directly next summer. In the summer of 2022, the Sun gave Ayton a quotation of 16.4 million in one year, and then the Pacers made 133 million in four years, and the Sun matched it.

As Aiton, he still felt unhappy. He felt that the Sun was not taking the initiative to give him a big contract, but was forced to match. How is the qualification quotation amount calculated? There is a relatively common formula: 125% of the original contract in the last year, or the basic salary + 200,000 yuan, the maximum value between the two is the amount of the qualification quotation.

In addition to this formula, the calculation process involves two other issues: 1. Draft ranking; 2. Whether to trigger the "first-off standard". The so-called starting standard is to start 41 games last season, or play for 2,000 minutes. Kumingga failed to trigger, so his qualification quotation was calculated based on the 15th ranking standard.

Gidy was the No. 6 pick in the first round of 2021, and Kumingga was the No. 7 pick. Both of them want a five-year, $150 million contract extension, but both the Bulls and the Warriors refused decisively. Giddy played 70 regular season games last season, averaging 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.9 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 46.5%, 37.8%, and 78.1%.

Gidy averaged the second highest in his career, with rebounds, assists, steals and three-point shooting percentage per game. After this year's All-Star, Gidi averaged 21+10+9 per game! He won a total of 7 triple-doubles last season, ranking seventh in the league. Gidi was born on October 10, 2002, under 23 years old, and still has room for improvement.

In the summer of 2024, the Thunder sent Gidey to the Bulls and got Caruso in a 1-for-1 trade. Caruso made an indelible contribution to the Thunder’s victory this year. The Thunder had already expected Gidey to want a big contract and the team could not satisfy him. In addition, Gidy's playing style is not suitable for the Thunder, so Presti gave up on this young man who had been trained for three years.

Judging from Giddy's performance last season, how much do you think he is worth?
