As a Thunder Fan I am sad, but I have to admit that this season showed that Giddey cannot maximise his potential with us. For all the hating Bulls Fans: Giddey is a really good player for being 21 yrs old. OKC wasn't the right situation, but he was still productive and he is still an elite passer. + he is younger than many players in this years draft and probably better than 99% of the players coming in. + the off the court bullshit got ppl hating on him so much that he is now very underrated... Bulls fans are crying now, but I am sure you will love him half way through next season realising that he can be the next bulls all star...

[@rome8180]

I like Giddey's potential too, but his value on the open market was way less than Caruso's. If it really is a straight-up swap, I'm shocked.

I am surprised the bulls did this because every team in the league wants an Alex type of player also his contract is so team friendly for like another two seasons.

I still would trade like 4 first rounders for kd and just the next two seasons be him coming back to the thunder and being the teams starting power forward and have a huge line up of. Shai,Dort,Jalen,Durant and Chet. With Alex and Cody coming off the bench

I don't understand this trade Please tell me where he differences from Casen Wallace who we have on a rookie scale deal.

I mean maybe Osumane Deing can make his way into the rotation but what we really need is a player like PJ Washington. Cruaso is a good player but unless he takes a Derick White level leap he doesn't really differ from Casen Wallace

[@Wrestle_Kingdom]

Caruso is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league also is a good passer,also Caruso a vet with experience so that helps and now at all times we have a POA defender also Caruso is better offensively than Wallace,Caruso is easily the best perimeter defender on the team and better than Cason on and dort offensively Also relying on dieng to be a nba player is crazy he is a long way to go especially due to him being more of a 3 instead of a 4 Also okc can still make trades you’re allowed to make more than one trade
