Alex Caruso TRADED For Josh Giddey! | NBA Offseason 2024 

Let’s hear those thoughts! By the way, no Giddey jokes here. Dude has been through enough.

I’m so glad that my boy is free! 🇦🇺 🎉 He’s gonna be an All-Star in Chicago, trust

Man, I'm glad someone shares the opinion that the Bulls did well to get giddy. Everything I see regarding this trade says the Bulls organization screwed up for not getting a first from OKC for Caruso. I guess I'm still high on Giddey but I think him alone is a good enough asset, and I agree he does have all-star potential, even tho a lot of people dont

I’m excited that you get to see how bad his defense really is.

Great trade for Bulls and OKC, Bulls get a high level potential all star with production for possibly 10+ years OKC get a championship level starter who can make winning plays on and off the ball and is still young enough to help OKC for 3/4 years

I agree that Giddey is being underrated right now based on how the playoffs went and I think its smart that the Bulls bought low on Giddey since they have nothing to really lose right now. I just feel like the bulls had leverage in the trade given that Caruso's value is high and could have gotten a pick in return in the deal. Especially since OKC already has a ton of FRPs and FRP swap rights, I think if the bulls put thier foot down they could have gotten at least one pick plus Giddey

Reminds me of the Grant Williams PJ Washington trade, except the Hornets got a FRP out of it.

I might need to watch Giddey more. He was nice during his rookie season and this season I didn’t watch as much. Far as Monty coming from a Pistons fan, he's not a bad coach, but he was bad for us. Both sides are to blame because Gores have him an offer he couldn't refuse after he declined. However Monty never challenge plays, didn't play the young guys right, had no passion or care about the team. The team needed a leader and he just cared about the money.

i think its clear in detroit Monty just didnt care, he was simply offered too much money to pass the job up and he half assed the thing in a hopes of getting fired. He was making rotation decisions that are just mind boggling and im not even a pistons fan and it was making me mad. For example ofc everyone knows but playing killian hayes over jaden ivey and not staggering cade n ivey minutes was the worst. How do you get cade back and proceed to lose more games because of it?

I've been rooting for OKC to get Giddey and was a fan since predraft. As much as I hate Josh leaving, I have to say that it's probably a win/win situation for both sides. Caruso would work much better in OKC system and his defense is going to be a difference maker I believe. Also he's reuniting with OKC and coach D after 7 years or so. Really nice addition and hopefully he will sign relatively cheap contract. Giddey on the other hand has really high ceiling and as our host mentioned, he's probably one of the better basketball minded players. High IQ and always knows what to do with the ball. Passing is just insane. He is really good rebounder and has nice floaters. Might be not the quickest and most explosive player but still he can find a way to the basket. I truely believe he will reach his potential with Chicago if management don't screw this up. Additionally for people who think he sux and played bad last season...if you followed OKC games and the offcourt situation, then you see that Giddey started to play really well at the season end, the time when there were rumours (or maybe it was even official) that he's not guilty. You can imagine that for a 21yo with so bright future that could be ruined by the situation it was difficult times and when he finally got the information, he simple started playing basketball again. On a high level.

I was hoping Josh would go somewhere he can play starting PG, but with Colby White there I don't know if that's gonna happen. Do you think Giddy could be a number 1 option?

alex's value at its peak swapped for giddey's value at its lowest... caruso is an all defensive player and giddey is a potential bust (who knows how good he will be in chicago there is no guarantee). i like the idea of getting more talent but without ANY picks attached? im sorry its your favorite team but i think this is objectively not a great return especially when there were offers for multiple frp for caruso

This position the bulls in getting a Center in the draft

OKC fan here, its really refreshing to watch a Bulls fan having a brain for once. Giddey is a good basketball player. A 21 yr old with a 3yr NBA exp on a winning team and playoff experience as well. At 21 he still has a lot of room to develop too! This is a win-win trade for both. I hope he does well and balls out next season on weaker eastern conference. I would love to see him on a triple double tear and win MIP. Best of luck to you and your NBA career Josh! You'll always be appreciated in OKC

Duuude.. before the raptors jumped from 7 to 4 I wanted Giddey. I hoped we could buy low on him. Yall got a star. I think you’ll get your bulls wish to rebuild too. If they want to dump the perfect championship roleplayer, they dont want to win.

With Monty I think it was a real lack of shooting on the team. I’m sure he had plays and sets he wanted to run, but some of the personnel weren’t ready in terms of development for those sets yet.

I wonder if the raptors and bulls do a trade on draft night now. Bruce brown would be chicagos perfect replacement for Caruso. And he’s on an expiring deal. Maybe something like this: Pick 11 + lonzos crap salary for Bruce brown,

Y would the Bulls do this without any draft compensation? 🤔

You’re on it bro!

Wow, I love it. Here we go- it's officially the off-season! Bulls get someone with a lot of potential and okc adding Caruso to Lu Dort, defensively? Geez😮

I wish Monty the best.

Actually love this deal for both sides.Cason,dort,caruso,and Chet on defense will be very intriguing.Giddey gets a fresh start and i actually like him with coby white in the back court

Imagine Lonzo and giddy at PG AND SG

The trade makes sense from both sides given their situations, but really like it for the Bulls. Giddey is already good and will keep getting better IMO. Didn't really fit in OKC, so I'm happy he gets a chance elsewhere.

Bulls fan here……..WUT. 😢

I’m just glad giddey is finally off my team,Giddey a fine player but never was going to work on okc he be decent in Chicago if he able to be the main ball handler Love the idea of Alex Caruso but do you think this make Lu dort more expendable I never liked the idea of Lu dort being traded unless you replace what he brings and Alex Caruso does that

So glad Giddey is gone…...
