🏀 MEGA DEAL: Chicago Bulls Trade Josh Giddey to Golden State Warriors in Blockbuster Move
San Francisco, CA – May 22, 2025 – In a stunning turn of events that is sending shockwaves across the NBA, the Chicago Bulls have traded Josh Giddey to the Golden State Warriors in what analysts are calling one of the most surprising deals of the offseason.
According to league sources, the Bulls are sending Giddey, the 6-foot-8 Australian guard known for his elite playmaking and basketball IQ, to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for a package that includes:
-
Moses Moody
-
Future first-round draft pick (2026, top-10 protected)
-
Cash considerations
This move signals a clear shift for both franchises.
🔁 Warriors Go All-In
The Warriors, led by Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, appear to be retooling their roster around younger, high-IQ talent. Giddey brings size, court vision, and versatility to a team looking to extend its championship window while preparing for a post-Curry future.
“Josh is a special talent,” said Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. “He fits our system perfectly, and we believe he can thrive in our culture.”
Giddey, who averaged 12.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game last season, gives Golden State another dynamic ball-handler who can orchestrate the offense and contribute across multiple positions.
🔄 Bulls Hit the Reset Button
For the Bulls, this trade represents a move toward flexibility and future building. With Lonzo Ball still recovering and the team struggling to find consistency, adding Moody’s shooting and a future first-round pick gives Chicago more options as they look to reshape their roster.
“We love Josh, but this was a move about long-term strategy,” said a Bulls front office executive. “Moses gives us a young wing with upside, and the pick sets us up for the future.”
🔍 What’s Next?
While fan reactions are mixed, many see this deal as a win-win for both sides. Golden State gains a young star who fits their system, while Chicago takes a step back to potentially leap forward in the coming seasons.
