Makes sense directionally for both. Huge upgrade (if healthy) for OKC.

Re: Woj: Thunder Trade Josh Giddey to Bulls for Alex Caruso
WTF? Surely Chicago could have gotten a better return than that

Re: Woj: Thunder Trade Josh Giddey to Bulls for Alex Caruso
Wow.
I think it’s a great trade for both teams. Looks like Bulls will go into rebuild mode. Giddey needs the ball to be effective and Caruso is a 3&D who slots right into OKC

Good. Hopefully I never have to hear about or see Josh Giddey again.

Re: Woj: Thunder Trade Josh Giddey to Bulls for Alex Caruso
Feel like there’s gonna be a pick involved right? Seems low for just Caruso. I like the move for Chicago.

They just traded low usage Jayson Tatum for a top 5 PG.
It’s over for the league.
Congrats OKC to your 2025 championship.

Re: Woj: Thunder Trade Josh Giddey to Bulls for Alex Caruso
I kinda like it for both, more OKC though.
Bulls were smart to move Caruso sooner than later. This should be a clear indicator that they will bottom out and finally start the inevitable rebuild.

FFS. What a steal for OKC.
What’s Chicago thinking here?

Re: Woj: Thunder Trade Josh Giddey to Bulls for Alex Caruso
I like this for CHI. Caruso is the type of guy I think is/was coveted by a large number of teams, but none who could or would give up great value. Banking on a breakout of a high pick like this makes more sense than the pupu platter of late 1st and 2nd that I think they’d get from others.
For OKC, they have so many expendable pieces I think it makes sense to sell low on a guy who doesn’t fit like this.

Giddey sucks and has bad baggage. Great move for OKC.

Love it for OKC. RIP to any guards who have to go up against a Caruso/SGA backcourt.
Meh for Chicago. Giddey might settle in as a starter-level player, but he's probably always going to be awkward to build a lineup around.
