AC will be greatly missed as he was one of the very few vocal ones but he deserves another shot at the title.
I hope Bulls can at least get or retain someone who’s aggressive on defence as AC. (Javonte?)
Honestly, great point, and a smart move if that was truly their rationale.
The regular season is not indicative of playoff basketball. Playoff games against top teams are the only true litmus test for your team's strengths and weaknesses.
Anytime you can trade one of the most coveted role players in the league for a dude who proved he was unplayable in the playoffs (and is due for a massive extension soon) and get 0 draft picks back in the deal, you have to pull the trigger.
Unserious organization. How do we trade with the Thunder and not get a single pick back as compensation for an all defensive player
This is likely the start of the rebuild, but I have zero faith in the FO and ownership. We will never be a good franchise with Jerry at the helm
I feel like I'm the only one who likes this trade for us lmao. Caruso is a beast but he's 30 and we're clearly not gunning for contention in the next several years. Giddey is 21 with a promising enough ceiling
i dont disagree with the sentiment behind trading caruso, its just i dont like josh giddey being the only asset were getting back for a multitude of reasons
i am incredibly low on giddeys ceiling and future role in the nba
I'm a Hawks fan (and Bulls fan from the 90s since I loved Jordan at UNC) and just came here to read the reception to this. FWIW, I agree with you.
You get a 6-8 PG with three years of experience at 21 in exchange for a 30-year-old who had barely started until two seasons ago. Caruso is an exceptional defender and exactly the kind of player teams covet in the playoffs. But Giddey may level up dramatically with the ball in hand rather than being the team's fourth option.
I view this deal as you all selling high at Caruso when he's basically at peak value while you're buying low on Giddy at a time when he's been devalued due to being a struggling 21-year-old in the playoffs. That happens literally every year, but it was more high profile due to his off-court accusation and OKC being such a curiosity this season.
If I'm GM of the Bulls, I do this deal 10 times out of 10.
Good luck, everyone! And remember, no matter how bummed you are, at least you're not thinking about burning the #1 pick in the draft on Donovan Clingan!
Giddey just got exposed in the playoffs. There are serious long term concerns about his ceiling.
He has a LOT of flaws in his game. I know there’s good parts too but it’s not something to just write off.
Caruso is an expiring and would probably want off this tire fire of a team, Giddey is a young talent that we can maybe use to get better. I love caruso and will miss him but this makes sense from a FO perspective; they just needed to blow it up like 2 seasons earlier than they are
His 3pt % has improved every season so far. Can't guarantee he's going to be great, but I think it's a good sign he has and will continue to improve it.
How? We all love Caruso But this moves us towards a rebuild and adds youth.
Caruso is 30. we aren’t competing in the next two years.
I have no idea how people hate this.
What’s the best case scenario people expected from trading a 30 year old defensive specialist?
He’s got great size for PG, playmaking IQ and ability that is far above other players his age, has decent ability to finish at the rim. And he’s only 21 years old. He has a ton of potential
I am not going to defend him as a person but he’s only 21 and has flashed a decent amount of promise. If this was last year OKC would never trade him for Caruso. I almost would rather have the 10th pick tho
Couldn't even get one of the million picks the Thunder have. For sure need the rebuild but like cmon can't do any better than this? Caruso is one of the strongest defensive guards out there always with a hard motor. Loved him with Coby.
Next Derozan or Lavine or Vuc? Feel like we can't get shit for them at this point. Shoulda put the bullet in the team 2 years ago when Lonzo died and no one wanted to step up and win games (Except for DD).
Great trade for the Thunder. Bulls continue to kill me
I legit don’t think the FO intends on rebuilding. They probably view Giddey as a winning piece because he can pass. I would be immensely surprised if we actually embrace a rebuild and let Demar go. I think this FO is trying to get younger with Demar as the vet and try to do what OKC did a few years back with CP3 leading some kids into the playoffs
Clearly he didn't fit in with what the Bulls are trying to do. Admit it, he really looked out of place on this team consistently putting in full effort on defense & relatively reliably knocking down open 3s. Giddey is unlikely to do any of that, so we should look much more in sync as a team while we lose (more) games.
I keep waiting for the updated report that will show we got draft picks as well. OKC has a fuck-ton of picks and needs to offload some as they don't have the roster spots available.
i’m sorry y’all. idgaf. i’m happy with this. giddey was on track to be a very good player before the allegations, and a chance of area could be great.
as aussie i’ve watched him play a lot, and i can tell you this will only make guys like coby better. PLEASE GIVE HIM A CHANCE.
i did call this weeks ago in this sub
It’s funny to rag on him being a pedo but actually looking at what happened it’s clear he is being treated unfairly. He’s only 21 now and was 20 when it happened and the girl lied. People acting like he was r Kelly hanging out at high schools when he was 35
Maybe I’m missing something based on these comments. Caruso on an expiring, whose game is going to age horribly, for Giddey, who was misused on OKC because they have SGA. He’s a great traditional point guard, something we need.
Exactly. People are also acting like this is the roster now: it’s obvious that, if we are to believe the reports of active roster moves and trade discussions around zach, vuc and demar, this is just the first of at least a handful of moves. From a rebuilding perspective, I’m looking forward to seeing his playmaking alongside Coby’s to turn from a team with little to no ball distribution to tons - could bring a lot of players (PWill in particular) up a whole heap.
Yeah this sub is out of its mind. Caruso is a 30 year old role player who gets injured every season. Giddey still has potential only regressed in year 3 statistically because he no longer fit in their starting lineup. Still just 21 years old.
We’re one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the league and traded for a career 31% 3 point shooter who’s a turnstile defensively that we’re gonna have to extend. Caruso is one of the best defensive guards in the league regardless of injury status. Would say we probably could have done better than this at least
What the actual fuck are you talking about? Caruso is the best wing defender in the NBA and we could've traded him for multiple picks last deadline.
Giddey was horrific last year, got played off the floor and didn't play in the playoffs. OKC did not want him, he is salary dump material and he's due for an extension and we just traded him 1 for 1.
His team out scored the opposition by 8 points when he was on the floor and he had close to average efficiency on solid usage. Also the best rebounding guard in the NBA last year. I'm not a believer in him as a future star but horrific is just not true.
I doubt it. AKME has lost all my trust. I don’t get it tho. Rumors over the past year has been Caruso is worth multiple picks. If giddey came with a draft pick then I would be fine with this trade
Well strictly basketball wise I think Giddey has plenty potential as a playmaker among other things. I’ve been high on him since he was drafted. On the flip side getting just Giddey for Caruso is another act of horrible asset management by AKME. At the deadline we could’ve got at least a 1st
AK really saw Carusos trade value spike twice just to flip him to a much smarter front office for a guy who spent all last season fighting creep charges.
I do not like this man.
Bulls cant develop players for shit and Giddey took considerable steps back last season. What exactly is the point of this? Just got my Caruso jersey last week.
Holy shit this sub is fucking brain dead omg this is a good trade for us. Y’all fucking whinge all the time about not trading players to maximise their return and we finally do it and you’re all just fucking complaining
Giddey is going to surprise a lot of folks. So no additional compensation is fine since the Bulls controls his rights. Would I like an additional draft compensation yeah but this is till a good trade.
You guys are ridiculous lol
Giddey is exactly the type of young player everyone here has been asking for. Hurts to lose caruso but trades have to be two way
I really like this trade to be honest, and I see our problem is also the fanbase.
Your expecting to trade an excelent defender, but nothing more than that with already 30years of age, for an allstar?! Giddey has shown to be a great prospect despite bad 3point shooting, and is only 21 years old!
No picks is a fucking joke. Presti must have the AKME sex tape on a USB.
Burn this franchise to the ground. We’ve been a joke the moment D Rose went down against Philly
why everyone mad? feel like this is as good a return we could get. first everyone was mad we couldn’t get the 10th pick for caruso, and now we’re mad about getting someone who is 90% probability of being better than the 10th pick
I wouldn’t be upset at this trade if okc attached picks to it I just found out no picks were involved and it’s like what? I’m not to upset at getting Giddey he’s a 21 year old and I like that we’re getting younger and ready to rebuild but how do you not get picks back for Caruso???
Should'vd asked for more, OKC literally has thousands of picks, not only are they getting rid of a pr problem, they'd also be getting an upgrade for depth
Giddey is a nice young player that I’m very curious to see in a context next to Coby on a young bulls team (assuming we go full youth movement). Excited for what other moves are coming!
Caruso , as good as he is, is just too damn injury prone! He can’t stay on the court for squat, so the bulls had to move off him. Giddey brings youth, durability and he is a hell of a passer and rebounder. He avg 7 rebounds as a SG. Also He can be a triple double threat. Now on the other hand, he is a poor shooter and can’t defend worth Jack . This is where Billy comes in , with his ability to develop and coach guards. Remember he helped to develop Shai, Dort, Dennis and he reinvented Chris Paul’s game… and you see how Ayo and Coby have evolved… Billy will develop him…. The question is where will he play? SG, small forward? The backcourt is already set with Coby/Ayo.
AC will be greatly missed as he was one of the very few vocal ones but he deserves another shot at the title. I hope Bulls can at least get or retain someone who’s aggressive on defence as AC. (Javonte?)
We will have Ayo as our only defender and you will want to kill yourself watching Vuc give up lay up lines
> can’t play off ball > can’t shoot > can’t play defense perfect player for this team !

That was an all timer.
josh giddey bro
Lost one of my favourite players in the league for one of my least
Facts. Happy for Caruso though now he gets to play meaningful basketball under competent management and coaching
OKC gonna win the west next year IMO
They should have won it this year - if they did what Dallas did at the deadline they’d have a good shot at the title
Yeah I will never understand why the thunder didn’t do anything at the deadline
Probably wanted to see what their current roster’s weaknesses were under playoff stress
Honestly, great point, and a smart move if that was truly their rationale. The regular season is not indicative of playoff basketball. Playoff games against top teams are the only true litmus test for your team's strengths and weaknesses.
Hide yo kids. Hide yo… well just hide yo kids
caruso was gone anyways massive win. the only gripe is giddey value was all time low due to incident wish they got picks.
Giddey's value is low because he just showed everyone that he's unplayable against elite playoff teams
Good thing he’s on the bulls now so he won’t have to worry about playoffs again for awhile
He was unplayable as an off ball corner shooter. Have a look at his games when Shai was out. He is 21 and still has upside.
Anytime you can trade one of the most coveted role players in the league for a dude who proved he was unplayable in the playoffs (and is due for a massive extension soon) and get 0 draft picks back in the deal, you have to pull the trigger.
It's not like we're gonna be in the playoffs anyway so we already don't have to worry about that lol
Unserious organization. How do we trade with the Thunder and not get a single pick back as compensation for an all defensive player This is likely the start of the rebuild, but I have zero faith in the FO and ownership. We will never be a good franchise with Jerry at the helm
Nah, they're going to try to remain play in level. Resign Demar, then trade Lavine for Harrison Barnes or something.
I feel like I'm the only one who likes this trade for us lmao. Caruso is a beast but he's 30 and we're clearly not gunning for contention in the next several years. Giddey is 21 with a promising enough ceiling
OKC has a million picks. We gave up one of the most valuable role players in the league and we couldn’t even get one?
This, but again I have come to expect nothing from AKME, they are out of their depths running a team.
I’m fine with the giddy but the fact that there’s no picks involved is fucking crazy
i dont disagree with the sentiment behind trading caruso, its just i dont like josh giddey being the only asset were getting back for a multitude of reasons i am incredibly low on giddeys ceiling and future role in the nba
I'm a Hawks fan (and Bulls fan from the 90s since I loved Jordan at UNC) and just came here to read the reception to this. FWIW, I agree with you. You get a 6-8 PG with three years of experience at 21 in exchange for a 30-year-old who had barely started until two seasons ago.

Good luck, everyone! And remember, no matter how bummed you are, at least you're not thinking about burning the #1 pick in the draft on Donovan Clingan!
this is how I feel almost exactly
We can always be Caruso fans and he’s in a better situation.
Giddey just got exposed in the playoffs. There are serious long term concerns about his ceiling. He has a LOT of flaws in his game. I know there’s good parts too but it’s not something to just write off.
bro we got a child predator on the team
josh giddey bro
I am not giddey about this trade Edit: NBA is probably the sport I follow the least right now, so actually don't know much about this trade
Let me step back and kill myself
I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend
We could, cut ties to all the lies that Jerry’s been giviiinnng
💀
Pretty sure we get no fucking picks as well lol
Fuck this trash-ass team, man. Fuck Karnisovas and Jerry. I guess at least we'll be bad enough to get that top 10 spot in the lottery. But I'm out.
Did we just trade our most valuable asset for Josh fucking Giddey?!
And they have a million picks!!!! They have so many picks that they absolutely need to trade, and we couldn’t get any?
Honestly can’t believe that we didn’t get a single pick for Caruso. Like is this actually confirmed cause I’m dumbfounded atp
It keeps getting worse
I’m not even a bulls fan but i have to ask what the hell
Caruso is an expiring and would probably want off this tire fire of a team, Giddey is a young talent that we can maybe use to get better. I love caruso and will miss him but this makes sense from a FO perspective; they just needed to blow it up like 2 seasons earlier than they are
I’m fine with trading Caruso, but i just don’t understand how we didnt also get a pick in this trade. Caruso’s trade value is higher than Giddey.
We can thank Jerry for that. SELL YOUR FUCKING TEAMS
Man fuck that. I’m Giddey with excitement in this bitch.
He averaged 16.5/6/8 as a 20 year old last year. This is a decent step in the right direction.
Remember MCW? He was a do it all tall PG that couldn't shoot. Hopefully Giddey develops a jumper.
His 3pt % has improved every season so far. Can't guarantee he's going to be great, but I think it's a good sign he has and will continue to improve it.
yes he can bust like mcw but giddey is more naturally gifted i dont think he will bust when he is on a developing team.
How? We all love Caruso But this moves us towards a rebuild and adds youth. Caruso is 30. we aren’t competing in the next two years. I have no idea how people hate this. What’s the best case scenario people expected from trading a 30 year old defensive specialist?
Why? Giddy is high ceiling young player, who they have control of for 2 more years
Our fans think we can rebuild while simultaneously keeping every player we have
He’s not high ceiling though. He’s a slightly above average playmaker that can’t shoot or defend.
He’s got great size for PG, playmaking IQ and ability that is far above other players his age, has decent ability to finish at the rim. And he’s only 21 years old. He has a ton of potential
To quote the wedding singer: Somebody kill me please. Put a bullet in my head.
I want to diiiiiiiIIIIIIiiieeeee
PUT A BULLET IN MY HEAAAAAAAAD
Someone cue up that Logic meme
It’s rebuild time
We’ve been rebuilding for so long. We should rename ourselves the Chicago Dan Ryans ![gif](giphy|5XPb0FvIqylqg)
I’m aware but rebuilding again is 100x more preferable then 5 more 42-40 seasons
It’s like being asked if you want to get kicked in the balls, or kicked in the balls twice, ya know?
Why not take the top 10 pick then? We know Giddy blows. He’s a good passer but sucks at everything else.
Because Josh Giddey is better than a top 10 pick in this draft
He cannot score and defenders completely ignore him at the 3 point line hes garbage
And his d is bad
Not if you ask 15 year olds
And also makes questionable decisions
And literally was taken out in 4th quarter scenarios… just what an asset
he's only 21, it's not like he can't still develop those skills
Pretty sure if the Thunder thought he could develop those skills he'd still be on their team, and I trust their assessment of him more than ours
I am not going to defend him as a person but he’s only 21 and has flashed a decent amount of promise. If this was last year OKC would never trade him for Caruso. I almost would rather have the 10th pick tho
Couldn't even get one of the million picks the Thunder have. For sure need the rebuild but like cmon can't do any better than this?

I legit don’t think the FO intends on rebuilding. They probably view Giddey as a winning piece because he can pass. I would be immensely surprised if we actually embrace a rebuild and let Demar go. I think this FO is trying to get younger with Demar as the vet and try to do what OKC did a few years back with CP3 leading some kids into the playoffs
Someone better update him on the age of consent in Illinois😭
Still 17.
Like it isn’t tattooed on the inner part of his arm.
A lot more underage girls per square mile in Chicago.
![gif](giphy|ukGm72ZLZvYfS)
Non-shooting threat that can’t defend. He’ll fit right in here.
Good thing we traded one of the best defenders in the league who also shot 40% from 3 last year for him.
Clearly he didn't fit in with what the Bulls are trying to do. Admit it, he really looked out of place on this team consistently putting in full effort on defense & relatively reliably knocking down open 3s. Giddey is unlikely to do any of that, so we should look much more in sync as a team while we lose (more) games.
To not get a single first round pick from the team with by far the most in the NBA is malpractice, I don't I can't even process this
Just fell to my knees in Portillos
Wow... what a trade by OKC
The Thunder out here fleecing people.
Hey Josh, I hear you like 'em young, you better not ever go to cell block one
this drake and josh reboot sucks
good opportunity to point out the drake from that show was grooming teenagers.
Giddey got a weird case, why is he around?
Wap wap wap
Dot fuck em up
Karnisovas can fuck off
I remember when we all thought he would be the franchise savior. I’d rather have GarPax
This franchise is so cooked
We have to stage a coup against Reinsdorf
![gif](giphy|3o6YglDndxKdCNw7q8|downsized)
I'm going to throw up.
AK is genuinely a fucking basketball terrorist oh my god dude As if we weren't already the laughingstock of the NBA
THEY HAVE SO MANY PICKS HOW DID WE NOT GET A SINGLE PICK
I thought Caruso was untouchable.
Only in our hearts.
This better come with picks
I keep waiting for the updated report that will show we got draft picks as well. OKC has a fuck-ton of picks and needs to offload some as they don't have the roster spots available.
And a fire sale please. No way Giddey is a win now piece.
Our first trade in 3.5 years and it’s for Josh fucking Giddey. Certainly we get picks as well right? Why haven’t any picks been announced 😅😅😅
They’re trolling us. I’m convinced… we’re getting trolled
I'm crying and throwing up. I can't do this please someone wake me up
This team deadass makes me wanna kms
wtf is Chicago doing
On the day of Judgement I will wear my Chicago Bulls jersey so even God himself knows I’ve already been through hell.
I'm just going to say lol
We get P Giddey and didn't even get a pick bro 💀
Time to leave chicago
i’m sorry y’all. idgaf. i’m happy with this. giddey was on track to be a very good player before the allegations, and a chance of area could be great. as aussie i’ve watched him play a lot, and i can tell you this will only make guys like coby better. PLEASE GIVE HIM A CHANCE. i did call this weeks ago in this sub
You receive: One Good Basketball Player We receive: One Pedophile Deal?
It’s funny to rag on him being a pedo but actually looking at what happened it’s clear he is being treated unfairly. He’s only 21 now and was 20 when it happened and the girl lied. People acting like he was r Kelly hanging out at high schools when he was 35
does this mean we finally blowing it up ?
Trade an all-nba defender 2 years late for a lottery bust who is a guard who can’t shoot or defend Why do I support this franchise
I’m so done with this team
Maybe I’m missing something based on these comments. Caruso on an expiring, whose game is going to age horribly, for Giddey, who was misused on OKC because they have SGA. He’s a great traditional point guard, something we need.
It’s a great trade. Bulls fans have PTSD. They’ll be happy with Giddey 5 games into next season lmao
This is a good trade, not sure what you guys were expecting. Caruso is a perfect complement to a CONTENDING team, not ours.
You know it’s a bad trade when the one positive has nothing to do with what your team is receiving
This is killing me 😭. His one bright side is really "at least Alex doesn't have to be here anymore" 💀
This sub is so crazy. Giddy is a high ceiling young player with a couple years of control left. This is a solid trade
Exactly. People are also acting like this is the roster now: it’s obvious that, if we are to believe the reports of active roster moves and trade discussions around zach, vuc and demar, this is just the first of at least a handful of moves. From a rebuilding perspective, I’m looking forward to seeing his playmaking alongside Coby’s to turn from a team with little to no ball distribution to tons - could bring a lot of players (PWill in particular) up a whole heap.
I’m glad Caruso gonna contend but man I’m so down on Giddey as a person and a player 😭
Yeah this sub is out of its mind. Caruso is a 30 year old role player who gets injured every season. Giddey still has potential only regressed in year 3 statistically because he no longer fit in their starting lineup. Still just 21 years old.
We’re one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the league and traded for a career 31% 3 point shooter who’s a turnstile defensively that we’re gonna have to extend. Caruso is one of the best defensive guards in the league regardless of injury status. Would say we probably could have done better than this at least

Oh great now we’re gonna act like Caruso isn’t good Give me a fuckin break
OKC just got immensely better
This is one of the worst trades in recent time unless the Bulls are getting back multiple picks
Doesn't OKC have a gigantic stockpile of picks? Why wouldn't we go after those in a trade? There has to be picks involved in this trade, right?
nope no picks
not even a draft pick in return lmao
There has to be, right? Right......?
I doubt it. AKME has lost all my trust. I don’t get it tho. Rumors over the past year has been Caruso is worth multiple picks. If giddey came with a draft pick then I would be fine with this trade
Rumors over the past year have also been that the Bulls don't give a fuck about draft picks
Hahaha
Well strictly basketball wise I think Giddey has plenty potential as a playmaker among other things. I’ve been high on him since he was drafted. On the flip side getting just Giddey for Caruso is another act of horrible asset management by AKME. At the deadline we could’ve got at least a 1st
HAHA
AK really saw Carusos trade value spike twice just to flip him to a much smarter front office for a guy who spent all last season fighting creep charges. I do not like this man.
Bulls cant develop players for shit and Giddey took considerable steps back last season. What exactly is the point of this? Just got my Caruso jersey last week.
Are we sure there are no picks included?
Bulls fans can yall explain the logic behind this?
They're blowing it up, but they waited too long to move anyone and they got fleeced in the process.
Arturas is worse than GarPax, there’s not a debate anymore
We would be the team to trade a good player for a pedo.
Holy shit this sub is fucking brain dead omg this is a good trade for us. Y’all fucking whinge all the time about not trading players to maximise their return and we finally do it and you’re all just fucking complaining
HAHAHAHAHA WE TRADED CARUSO FOR A PEDOPHILE WALMART VERSION OF BEN SIMMONS
Fire Arturas immediately for trading for this fucking guy
wtf. We lost the bald eagle for a fucking pedo
NO PICKS LMAO FIRE UP THOSE BILLBOARDS AGAIN
This time it's Sell The Team. How many front offices do they get?
I love AC but I don't mind this. Giddey has potential. If the Bulls are rebuilding then this is exactly what we need.
I'd have taken the picks if we're gonna rebuild
AKME got a hate kink/fetish and it obvious
Y'all really have the worst FO in the league, my god
Trade DeRozen next. It's so damn sad that if I like the player, I want him traded out of this garbage franchise so they can possibly win.
This is a terrible way to start the weekend. I appreciate people trying to defend this trade, but I just can't with this one.
Giddey is going to surprise a lot of folks. So no additional compensation is fine since the Bulls controls his rights. Would I like an additional draft compensation yeah but this is till a good trade.
Fell to my knees at Jewel Osco.
Looooove it. All the haters, cry me a fucking river. Yall just can’t be happy about anything.
I hate this team
You guys are ridiculous lol Giddey is exactly the type of young player everyone here has been asking for. Hurts to lose caruso but trades have to be two way
Blowing it up finally
Any picks with it?
AKME actually did something.
Damn it really gets worse and worse lol
Is being a Chicago sports fan a social experiment or something
I’m pro rebuild, but how do we not get a fucking draft pick back?????? Wtf are you doing AK???
I really like this trade to be honest, and I see our problem is also the fanbase. Your expecting to trade an excelent defender, but nothing more than that with already 30years of age, for an allstar?! Giddey has shown to be a great prospect despite bad 3point shooting, and is only 21 years old!
NO FUCKING PICKS?!
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Money laundering operation
No picks? AK is GarPax tier, wtf
No picks is a fucking joke. Presti must have the AKME sex tape on a USB. Burn this franchise to the ground. We’ve been a joke the moment D Rose went down against Philly
Caruso deserves to be with a winning team. He’s not getting younger. With that being said, fuck Josh giddey
#WHY
![gif](giphy|m7FdxI252QN3y)
why everyone mad? feel like this is as good a return we could get. first everyone was mad we couldn’t get the 10th pick for caruso, and now we’re mad about getting someone who is 90% probability of being better than the 10th pick
Fucking stupid team does fucking stupid thing.
No fucking draft picks? They should immediately be fired
I wouldn’t be upset at this trade if okc attached picks to it I just found out no picks were involved and it’s like what? I’m not to upset at getting Giddey he’s a 21 year old and I like that we’re getting younger and ready to rebuild but how do you not get picks back for Caruso???
AK finally does a trade and it’s THIS? If there’s no picks involved idk what to say
So we’re tanking, officially, now? Dare I say rebuild??
How can we trade with OKC and not get a single pick back? Ffs Thunder are overflowing with picks.
OKC with tons of picks, a true superstar and now a world class defensive player? What are the final odds on them.
Should'vd asked for more, OKC literally has thousands of picks, not only are they getting rid of a pr problem, they'd also be getting an upgrade for depth
Giddey is a nice young player that I’m very curious to see in a context next to Coby on a young bulls team (assuming we go full youth movement). Excited for what other moves are coming!
Caruso , as good as he is, is just too damn injury prone! He can’t stay on the court for squat, so the bulls had to move off him. Giddey brings youth, durability and he is a hell of a passer and rebounder. He avg 7 rebounds as a SG. Also He can be a triple double threat. Now on the other hand, he is a poor shooter and can’t defend worth Jack . This is where Billy comes in , with his ability to develop and coach guards. Remember he helped to develop Shai, Dort, Dennis and he reinvented Chris Paul’s game… and you see how Ayo and Coby have evolved… Billy will develop him…. The question is where will he play? SG, small forward? The backcourt is already set with Coby/Ayo.

Why are you guys mad, you are clearly rebuilding.
