The Josh Giddey Experiment: Why The Bulls Must Move On

The Chicago Bulls face challenges in their current season, prompting consideration of the end of the Josh Giddey experiment.

His lack of shot creation and floor balance makes him less ideal alongside Wilson. At $25 million annually, a trade becomes necessary if the fit doesn't work with Wilson. Potential trade partners include Jalen Green and Tyler Herro, who both offer significant shot creation.
