He's better off without OKC. He's on a team that can maximize him. He doesn't fit in OKC and Presti knew what he was doing.
@@purpdrank7336exactly. I do think Chet could be a pf with a big lineup when we play big teams but sengun isn’t the guy todo that. Someone bigger and stronger. Who is cool with being on the bench unless he’s needed.
If it really is a straight-up swap, I'm shocked. When I first saw the trade I thought "there's no way there isn't a pick included." Caruso has been one of the most coveted role players for a while now. And with OKC having one billion picks, you'd think the Bulls could have pressed them for at least one of them.
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...
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. When I first saw the trade I thought "there's no way there isn't a pick included." Caruso has been one of the most coveted role players for a while now. And with OKC having one billion picks, you'd think the Bulls could have pressed them for at least one of them.
I think it’s a great trade for both sides. Bulls and giddey have a chance to develop for a few years. Okc gets a guy that fits better and still has picks and cap space to try to build a highly competitive roster.
BEAUTIFUL!!! Im excited about Caruso, but giddy, I have felt maybe a new headspace was needed. I'm so glad he can get a new start and appreciate who and what he's been to the THUNDER
Caruso is the perfect replacement for Giddey. The fact that OKC didn't have to give up any draft compensation is even better. Giddey really had to go, and not just because he didn't really fit with them anymore. I hope that he is able to break out with the Bulls.
Keep this energy when Giddey plays well for the Bulls where his strengths are actually used AND Caruso misses half the season with injuries. Its a good trade for both teams, but lets not pretend this was theft by Presti
Great pickup! They need a big, so… Slightly overpay a free agent center on a 3 year contract (not 4 because of future rookie extensions) and draft the best player available Or Consider trading up to draft a high level prospect like Sarr or Clingan
As a bulls and thunder fan i like this trade for both teams, I think giddey will have a chance to blossom into a star with Chicago and the thunder get one of the best role players and defenders in the league Caruso will have a Derrick white level impact for the thunder
a straight swap is CRAAAAAAAAAAAYZEEEEE like what were the Bulls thinking? Giddey is not that guy especially for nothing more than just him. no draft picks nothing just Giddey...wow.
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. The thunder really should go all in like use the draft picks to trade for established vets that can keep guys from having to play out of position. 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
When I saw this trade, I honestly thought OKC got robbed. I’ve thought about it and I understand the trade from their perspective more but Giddey just seems too talented to be traded for Caruso. OKC will be better in the near future and have a higher floor but they could have flipped Giddey + Picks for Lauri to raise their ceiling. Imo OKC: B+ CHI: A
sga-dort-cason-caruso-chet is a defensive nightmare. That said, it blows my mind that ppl think okc robbed the bulls and/or that giddey is not going to be an all star level pg for them. Maybe not in year 1 but the dude clearly needed a more traditional setting.
This was straight-up highway robbery of the Bulls (Chicago has one of the dumbest front-offices I've ever witnessed). It's truly unbelievable how terrible they are at their jobs.
I'm going to assume right off the bat that Chicago aren't too pleased on receiving Josh in exchange for Caruso almost to a point that they aren't too......Giddy? ( pinky touches the right corner of bottom lip, Q in Dr. Evil theme.)
I don't understand this trade Please tell me where he differences from Casen Wallace who we have on a rookie scale deal. Not saying he's a bad player but I'd much rather get Dani Avadi from Washington and have J-Dub slide to the 3. 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
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
AK has lost his marbles. 🤦♂️ Couldn't get at least one 1st round pick in addition to Giddey? Well, to put it mildly, as a Bulls fan I'm not giddy about getting Giddey! 🤷♂️
Caruso is 30 and body is breaking down. He's probably already peaked. Giddey will be younger than some of the rookies next year. He has a point to prove and my prediction is it will be a break out year.
woiuld not be surpised it behind the scenes presti gave athe bulls ownership some adviec on what they should do in exchange for not giving up any dfraft capital
Don't like the trade for the bulls.. me and a couple of random Bulls fans could've gotten a 2nd round pick out of that! But can't be to mad Caruso is gone.. he's injure prone and he's not all that offensively.. he has good shooting form (unlike the Giddler) but the shots don't really seem to fall in for him! Wish Caruso the best over there in OKC his defense alone can win/save that team at least 20 games!
Wait a minute Chicago...picture. The CONVO wit Coach and NEWLY INVESTED NEE PLAYER...I'm sensing coach will be out....or do Management just keep their jobs off of countless mistakes...WINDY CITY
I know your happy cone that was the best scam ever bro as a thunder fan you should be hyped rn congrats on the scam and the subscribe I just gave you 😁
Lol the contrast between Kenny and cone's video is funny
This was an absolute steal for OKC
A 30 year old who can't play a full year VS a young guy who has way more potential. Tbh the bulls got a steal.

And Orlando too 😂
Insanely good trade for OKC. What a defensive lineup!
Specifically, it’s the three-point shot in the corner during the playoffs is what we needed !
Great trade for OKC, love it!

Buying an okc caruso jersey immediately, this my fav player I’m so happy for him
The thunder could trade him for a big in the next few months
Good pick up for the Thunder. Still need a big. I like Claxton or Hartenstein or even maybe Brook Lopez. Thunder are built for a long time.
Lauri Markkanen?
@@Христоиграчя Chet and Markenen would not be fair. If they can get Lauri, they are probably gonna win the west.
As a Bulls fan, when I saw the smile on Cone’s face I knew we were cooked, they should’ve at least gotten a pick

Its like the Bulls don't want to have a good team, which feels so illogical. The NBA should investigate them

@@tuneda2594 maybe, but too early to tell

We going to the finals
Lol I would go that far but I think okc will make it to the finals if they can keep this team and team is healthy it will just take awhile
big win from OKC, if giddey pans out it could end up a win for the bulls aswell THUNDER UP ⛈

You are like the one person who I agree takes with.
Fact that it was a straight up 1 for 1 trade with no picks attached is insane. The Bulls front office must have been on drugs today
You think it works like that? It shows what value they actually think of giddey. To them it's a straight swap.
the 1 seed just got a lock-down playoff-ready fan-favorite *champion* veteran and they had to shell out ... giddey as a wolves fan I am LIVID
As a bulls and thunder fan i like this trade for both teams, I think giddey will have a chance to blossom into a star with Chicago and the thunder get one of the best role players and defenders in the league Caruso will have a Derrick white level impact for the thunder
