Josh Giddey Introductory Press Conference | Chicago Bulls

[@ishyameru6232]

Im a thunder/Chiefs fan who’s been supporting the bears as my grandpa is from Chicago so I guess I’ll support my boy Giddey and the Bulls too 🐂

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

Welcome to Chicago bro!!!! Whole new Start, We really hope you reach your SuperStar potential.

[@spencer4359]

Absolutely! Lets go giddey!

[@Stack405]

From a Thunder fan: you all will learn to love Giddey he will be a triple double machine being on ball. All the off court stuff was bs. We’ll miss you Giddey, go be great SLOB WIZARD!

[@marcwarren4393]

Thanks 👍👍

[@MikloFumando]

Would rather have AC still. 😢

[@hbomb2024]

Giddy will do great! We just have a few Bulls fans that seriously have PTSD from the Gar/Forman days so they complain about anything. Once he hits the floor they will have short term memory and Love him!!

[@MikloFumando]

@@hbomb2024 I don’t think Giddy is bad on this team. It’s just AC’s impact was so huge. Off the court especially. He was the heart of the team. We are gonna miss those 120 steals and 70+blocks next season, especially when the rest of the team don’t compare defensively. Leaves a gap we could hopefully fill with a Lavine trade and hopefully Vuc. My only other problem is the history this team has developing younger talent. It’s a big undertaking trying to do all that with Giddy, Coby, Pat, Dalen, Ayo, Taylor, Sanogo at the same time. OG for Lavine I think is a great move. Helps defense. Would love Claxton more than anything.

Very professional at a young age, no Giddy, but I want to reserve judgement on the court. Welcome to Chi-Town Josh!

[@chemistryset1]

Aussie basketball fan here; for a while I was following Joe Ingles unlikely journey as an NBA basketballer, but since Josh Giddey came into the league he's been the guy I've kept an eye on. He'll be great for the Bulls for a long, long time. An unselfish player; tall, deceptively strong, good rebounder, great passer - runs the floor really well too; he isn't super quick but he can run at a good pace for the full 48+ minutes. Of course his shot needs work; it is an issue. But it isn't Ben Simmons-bad by any means; he has ways of getting to the rim and I suspect he'll get to the stripe more next year, too. He's been playing in the NBA for 4 years and he's still 21. Lot of room for growth.

As a OKC fan he will be a great player for you the only issue was with SGA playing Giddey could not pay his natural role and so did not fit with them, Sad to see him go

[@edchiang]

Coming in his fourth year, he is basically still younger than most of the draft candidates this year. Josh is still having a lot of upside if good coaching and opportunity is given.

[@djenglish1741]

First miss the headband already, Caruso was so great to watch play his heart out every game. Josh could be a great combo with Kobe playing the 1 back and forth. Similar to what the mavs do for a different look. Great potential and not an unknown like a draft pick is, would have been cool to get one back but you can see why it didn’t happen. Hope the bulls can snag Tyler Smith or Ron Holland in the draft

As a Thunder fan, I still really like Josh Giddey. Good dude who made a mistake that wasn’t even his fault. He’s a good player when he’s facilitating the offense but last yr his role was primarily to catch and shoot which was not playing to his strengths. Great passer, playmaker, solid at driving but just can’t shoot.

[@ahmadfaisal6267]

He can't shoot? Really? I mean really? The dude went 9/18 for 3's at a 50% clip in playoffs against pelicans last season when he was entrusted to actually play...

[@brodiestephens419]

Yeah it's just an Aussie thing. I do the same thing and I'm well-educated, and have a very nerdy IQ. Josh Giddey is highly intelligent and articulate... especially for a professional athlete. More importantly, he's a highly intelligent PLAYER, which is why I'm still very confident he'll become an All-Star. He passes his teammates open and sees things unfolding before they happen. All the Bulls fans that are pissed about losing Caruso now are going to be very happy to have Giddey instead once the season starts. NBA fans are notoriously fickle, and have extremely short memories. Before the start of this season, people in OKC were talking about Josh as a likely All-Star. He averaged: 16.6 pts, 8 rebs, 6 asst .... during his age 19 and 20 season. Those numbers are pretty fucking good for a 20 year old!!! He's still only 21.

U can’t label everybody a casual Just because they dont like the trade. There are valid reasons to not like it

[@JooseLeroy]

Fans are not Garbage for feeling like the Bulls could have gotten a better deal for AC! Giddey has glaring and obvious flaws on the court that can quite possibly have a negative impact on team success. U can’t make anyone’s job easier when u can’t shoot, can’t defend, & a poor finisher at the rim. Being a fan is not just hyping a player because he joined the team… U should know and understand the game, which a lot of u “fans” who lead with emotion & rarely use logic in your arguments don’t! Alex only walks if u don’t trade him which the Bulls did , they had leverage in any trade scenario given the Demand for AC around the league & Josh Giddey ALONE who could also “walk” after this season given he is in the final yr of his contract as well is the best option? No picks or nothin? This wasn’t a smart trade

Some Bulls fans don't realize Giddey is among 4 players with 11 triple doubles at his age. They are Magic, Luka, and Ben Simmons. He would have had more if he weren't on a team with SGA. This is similar to Halliburton held back in SAC playing next to Fox. At 21, he may not know how to shoot but he's an excellent passer and that's why he will be the PG.
