Great move by Sam.

Conversely, I was told that Giddey was unplayable and therefore valueless (but also about to get a huge contract)

I really like this for both teams. Giddey should have nice synergy with White and Dosunmu as both could really benefit from being secondary playmakers whose primary jobs are to score, and Caruso just gives OKC another defensive menace. Imagine them playing Chet with their backups and having their second unit be:

Wallace/Caruso/Dort/whoever/Chet

You could put me at power forward and it would still be a nightmare to score.

You don’t see a lot of one for one trades. I like this for both teams

So, is this Chicago doubling down on DDR? Coby, DDR, Giddey?

For OKC, sure. Definitely doesn’t hurt. Just feels like they’re getting quite guard heavy.

I honestly don't see Giddey as a good fit with DeRozan. I think this is Chicago moving on with a young group of White/Dosunmu/Giddey/Williams + whoever they draft.

truth is somewhere in the middle. I think he currently stinks but has the talent to be better.

Agree with both of your posts babyjax; I like the fit here and I think it's a sign that DDR is elsewhere as part of a larger rebuild.

Something tells me that DDR is going to end up in Philly and everyone is going to be shocked.

I was convinced Giddey could land multiple picks too.
