Restricted free agent Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey appears to have lost out on a key sign-and-trade path as talks between his representatives and Chicago's grind on without a resolution in sight.

The Chicago Bulls have so far not found a resolution to the negotiations with Josh Giddey, prompting ideas of alternative solutions. That includes a sign-and-trade with some team, perhaps the Golden State Warriors,

The Bulls brought in Giddey from the Thunder, in the deal that sent Alex Caruso to Oklahoma City. It's clear they value Giddey's ability to fill a box score, but questions remain around the holes in Giddey's game--his poor defense and subpar 3-point shooting--that make him a questionable long-term investment.
