[@chrislamprecht2115]

Bulls fan coming in peace. Y'all are SO lucky to have this man. He embodies everything we value as Chicago bulls fans: hustle, grit, heart, relentless. He also really upped his 3 point shooting. You'll see but he's easily one of if not the best POA defender in the league and can definitely guard 1 - 4 and can slow down or strip 5s well. He is an amazing communicator and helps pick up guys when they're lost and will save so many plays. His biggest risk is injury cause he plays so hard. I hope he has a ton of success with y'all, gonna miss seeing him dominate elite offensive players on the defensive end

Calm down😂

[@julianp0809]

What a move by Presti. You can already see how well his mentality fits into the Thunder organisation. Cant wait so see him with the other guys playing #ThunderUp

[@Dahn.Baern.]

Perfect fit. Excited to see how good they are now

[@chibang492]

Presti sure robbed the dumb ass Bulls GM. LoL. Arturas couldnt even get Prestis to let go of just one of his 40 draft picks, not even a second rounder. Bulls GM Arturas is a sucker. As a Bulls fan I am disgusted. We just gave up our best defender, our best glue guy, and the heart of our team for a giddy, and didn't even get a single draft pick. Wow. Caruso will be missed. Yall lucky. Sucks being a Bulls fan.

[@chibang492]

Bulls fan here. Yall gonna love Alex Caruso. The man works hard everynite and is one of the best players at filling holes ive ever seen. He can do some of everything, and his defensive prowse is insane. Gonna really miss A.C. Id go as far as saying he will be the guy that helps yall get a title. Best wishes to A.C. amd also to OKC, an orginization i admire and have great respect for. PEACE

[@superdubb]

Wow bro. you sound like a legit solid person and very positive. Such a classy comment. I wish you have lots of great things happen to you in your life!

[@vrtillinfinity]

As a Bulls fan I'm sad to see Caruso go but I'm happy that he's on a winning team now. Please take care of him OKC fans.

[@jonathangleason72]

Bulls fan here, you guys are getting a legend. Hope that Giddey can grow into a good player for us!

[@brendancalvillo]

Nothing but respect for y’all’s organization. MJ was the GOAT, unquestionably

[@huntersmith1482]

There’s never been a man more suited for the role he is going to fill

[@ranilcurry615]

What a pick up for OKC. You need a guy like this the a Caldwell -Popes, Derrick Whites, Dru Holidays. Alex Caruso is a huge pick up for OKC. They can make it to the Finals now. Okc fans should be very happy. The Lakers was crazy to give up Caldwell Pope and Alex Caruso.

[@randygloria6650]

He looks like he works for OKCPD 😂😂😂 he definitely gonna lock some mfs up on the court tho

His nimble thinking ability with quick well thought out answers is impressive.

Love that Alex has joined OKC, I've always been a massive fan. I am very sad to lose Josh though. Don't know how I feel right now. I may need to follow two teams next season.

[@hcobra5639]

Welcome sir, we can’t wait to see you play

[@jdh9676]

As a long time Lakers/Bulls fan I was happy when Alex landed on the Bulls because I got to continue to watch him play on one of my two top teams. Now? Well I can comfortably say Okc is in my top six teams and I really have no others. Teams I may respect, hate, or be indifferent to? Yes. But none I actively follow or cheer for like my top six. So its great he has once again landed on one I enjoy, can get behind, and follow. I been enjoying his game a long time. When the Lakers chose signing THT over him I knew that was a mistake. But he landed on the Bulls and it was fun watching him grow and develop there. Talk about a grind. They had him starting at PF! When the trade rumors started, early on I recall mention of Okc and thought that would of course be great. But as of late the chatter became about SAC, Spurs, Philly, even the Lakers. Or packaging him up with Zach. So this was a great surprise! I've been following Okc through the rebuild and it's hard to believe just two seasons ago this team was a 24-58 question mark. Now? Wow. Presti has done a great job, coach Daigneault and staff, and all our players of course. Except for Josh. Ha. Just a little humor there to lighten the load🤗Go...Okc. I'm onboard. Unless we're playing The Bulls. The Lakers? We're a joke atm, so sad. And funny. But not in a good way. Please leave Bron! And JJ, too! I also like Miami, Mavs, Spurs. But I won't speak on that. Go THUNDER!😁

[@jomoeller8965]

everytime mark was mentioned he is grinning ear to ear. so excited about this pickup for our squad.

[@ThatG8Guy]

Good luck alex, we'll miss you

[@dennygostick8816]

Hi OKC, my name is Denny from Nova Scotia been a Lakers fan for over 50 yrs. and recently traded myself as a fan to OKC Thunder. Alex was my favorite Laker since beloved Kobe & already knew about our Canadian superstar SGA plus your teams hustle and attitude and really liked Hartenstein made the decision to join your fan base easier. I was so tired of the toxic circus Lakers turned into since James arrived.but thats all in the past ,looking forward to the fun and excitement of the young OKC Thunder this year & for yrs to come Lets go Thunder!!

[@windycity3399]

Damm it ! OKC got a legit beast mode player ! I hate that he left Chicago 😞 we will miss you ! Definitely can win a chip at OKC

[@LeGiiTWillie]

We were already so good last year at playing the passing lanes and getting out in transition and now we're adding a 2nd-team defender who's averaged 1.6 steals in the last 3 years. Opposing teams are going to hate going against this defense.

[@Mr12barbluz]

He would have been first team but the rules changed. They didn't have to pick guards just top 4 players thus no guards on first team. I think the old rules were more fair.

[@hftak9009]

alex look like he'd been with okc all his life 😂😂

[@jdh9676]

Well, born and raised less than 400 miles away. Texas kid, still lives there. So....
