Event Around the 2025 NBA Draft & Offseason Madness!

it depends....like you said, team needs

if it is the Giddey for most of his career in the NBA, probably Camara. If it's the Giddey of the last 25 games of last season after the Bulls traded Lavine, when Giddey averaged 20.5 - 9.5 - 8 while shooting 45% from three and playing solid defense....maybe Giddey. But I'd be a little hesitant because those numbers came when he was either option 1a or 1b sharing with Coby White. Maybe 1c if you count Vucevic. Maybe I'm overestimating his option role; he was 4th on the team in usage and FGA. He did lead the Bulls into the play-in...where they lost. Anyway, If Giddey is a 1st or 2nd option and arguably a team's best player, that team isn't going anywhere. Similar situation as Avdija IMO. They might be good enough as 2nd options and secondary facilitators on a contender, but not as best players

now, if it's Giddey at 25M/year vs Camara at 28-30M/year, it begins to be a different discussion

yeah, it's probably a good deal for the Bulls getting Giddey at 25M/year. There's still a little bit of a worry because Giddey really went wild over the last 25 games of the year. Averaged over 20-9-8 with 6 triple doubles while shooting 45% on three's. If he comes back to earth in a big way, he might be overpaid. If he builds on that late season surge, the Bulls got a steal

 

Obviously we’ll never know, but I disagree completely.
