What recent medical updates impact Josh Giddey's trade value?

Rahimi Harrison-Grody 0:00

Rahimi Harrison-Grody, midday schedule 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 1243. Giddy commits the dribble and they go to Miller now. Left-hand dribble drive on Luke Cornett with a wraparound. Finds Giddy, right corner, no hesitation, buries the three ball. Josh Giddy.

Unknown 0:20

That is Chuck Swirsky on the call. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score, and this was announced this afternoon by the Bulls. They tweeted it. Medical update. Josh Giddey recently underwent a successful right ankle arthroscopy. Giddey is scheduled to start basketball activities in approximately three months and is expected to return for the start of training camp. Now, we knew he had injury problems throughout the season. I was not aware it was severe enough to need a scope.

Mark Grody 0:50

He better get healthy. There's a new sheriff in town.

Unknown 0:54

Three months is a long time. To me, this just takes him out of the trade talks. Or did he take himself out of the trade talks?

Mark Grody 1:03

Well, it seems like just yesterday, Marshall, we were haggling over $20 to $25 million for Josh Giddey to be part of the core of the Bulls going forward.

Unknown 1:15

I'm happy he got the money, but there was no competition for the contract. In the growing landscape of how the cap rises the way it does, $25 million, I was like, I'm good with this because by the time this deal is over, it'll be a value, as opposed to the Patrick Williams deal, which... He'll never grow into the value that they signed him to. That's the difference, right? If I'm Patrick Williams, I'm investing it, and then I'm just sitting on an island somewhere basking in the glow of my money-getting abilities. Do you think he'll play basketball in the NBA at the end of this contract? Will someone give him a chance to play NBA basketball? He has three years left on the deal. That sounds right. Yeah, he's young enough.

Unknown 1:57

Yes. I mean, is he getting significant minutes? I don't think so. But with three years left on the deal at his age, yeah, I'm pretty sure he fills out a roster somewhere. Yeah, he signed through 2029, so that's 26, 27, 27, 28, 28, 29. How old is he right now? Patrick Williams right now is 24. I thought he was 23. I thought he was even younger than that.

Mark Grody 2:24

Honestly, I would have had him older. He is a guy who officially feels like he's been around forever.

Unknown 2:28

I mean, because he came out early. Salvador Perez. Been around forever. He's the longest tenured bull, right? Yeah, so it kind of makes sense. That's how that works. Why are you trying to... Do you think I just heard anything? All I saw was Sal Perez hitting a home run in my mind. I'm sorry. And then just happily jogging around the bases with his infectious smile. It's not the home run. It's him... Hipping his way around the bases the way he runs. Big sell. He's baseball joy. He's like, oh, is this a 94-mile-an-hour sinker that did not sink, a.k.a. a fastball? I will hit this. He's running around the bases. Like a beer league softball player runs around the bases after he hits a home run.

Mark Grody 3:09

We in this baseball society like older, larger baseball players. We love Bartolo Colon at the end. Was there a more popular player in baseball than Bartolo Colon at the end? Because he got really big and he hit a couple home runs.

Unknown 3:23

It's also because at that point he had 20 years of service time. Yes, that too. And everybody knew him. I think Sal Perez, though... Regardless of size, you knew he was the heart and soul of that Royals team. So to see that he is still the heart and soul of the Royals team and still doing things like this.

Mark Grody 3:40

And somehow just 36. I don't know if I believe it.

Unknown 3:42

If you like baseball, then it's good. But if you like the White Sox, it's bad. And that's my take.

How does the Bulls' management view Caleb Wilson and Cam Boozer?

Unknown 3:48

Getting back to the other team, Reinstorf in town. Yeah, this giddy news is effective. It's just a matter of how much does this actually affect what you... thought about him possibly changing maybe changing teams i don't necessarily know how that how bryson graham feels about him or if it even matters at this point in the rebuild it probably doesn't matter because he's taking best players available regardless and giddy is an asset and so he's going to position this asset much like patrick williams much like
