      So, first our owner decided it was more important to prove the importance of the front office than to keep winning championships, so we became the only organization in pro sports to date to actively punt on a dynasty.
      Second, we traded up in the draft and passed on the opportunity for two potential solid NBAers so that we could grab Doug McDermott in the 2014 (?) draft. (I wanted Rodney Hood, Gary Harris, Jusuf Nurkic, and Doug McDermott, in that order; I thought we'd be able to get 2 of 4; I'd've been happy with the bottom 2 over the top 1. But we traded to get the worst guy... both in my draft ranking, and history has proven me 100% correct on that.)
      Finally, we traded Wendell Carter for Vucevic. When I heard about the deal, I talked myself into it; I thought Carter was a better player, an easier player to fit onto a winning team, BUT at least Vuc wasn't just a post scorer, he was also a nice passer, so there was an offensive element there that might allow for him to co-exist with other scorers. THEN I heard picks were involved... I was confused. Did Orlando have a MIL or PHX pick that they threw in? If so, good for us, but I don't think I'd make that trade were I ORL. But why would CHI throw in a pick? THEN I heard it was TWO picks! Both UNPROTECTED 1sts! I lost my FUCKING MIND.
      And that, my friend, is why I'm a *former* Bulls fan.

    Longtime Bulls fan here. I have been beaten and ravished by the organization. Regardless if this is the beginning of the rebuild, I have absolutely no faith in this front office or ownership to actually be competent in rebuilding.
    I have seen poor decision after poor decision. Trading Jimmy, tossing Thibs, the three alpha lineup with Hoiberg, the clown Jim Boylen, and now the absolutely mediocre AKME. Can't wait to toss Lavine, Vooch, and DeMar for nothing and rebuild with no good picks or hope.
    The Bulls will never ever be competent until Jerry Reinsdorf sells the team (he won't). The team will be passed onto his son and the cycle will continue. Reinsdorf as a stranglehold over 2 of Chicago's sport teams and the fans can do nothing but accept utter mediocrity

I know they have lots of picks but everyone seems to think they need to fire them off as soon as possible.

    Took the words right out of my mouth with the archetype of player giddey is. If you’re a below average scorer and your main skill requires you to control the ball then you’re counterproductive to good offense, it’s really that simple. The fact that the thunder were so successful even with giddey starting is a testament to how good their team is otherwise.

  • @fixindan3592
    @fixindan3592 4 місяці тому +1

    Let’s be real, had Giddey not had a down year he’d be more valuable than Haliburton was when he was traded, and Giddey would be worth more than the Bulls entire roster plus their #11 pick. Also Caruso is 30 and a defensive specialist. So I don’t understand why people feel Bulls should’ve gotten more. Even if Bulls did get a pick or two in this trade, late first and second rounders won’t move the needle much, especially in the hands of the Bulls front office who couldn’t draft worth a lick.

    This is a win-win! OKC wins by dumping this boat anchor from the offense, and Caruso wins by joining an up-and-coming contender. Plus the Bulls win by... hang on... no, that's it, actually. Those are the winners.

    I'd still argue that OKC was just a bad fit for Giddey. They tried to make him an off-ball shooter which just doesn't work. Caruso fits that role better. Giddey I thought was good his first two seasons. With the ball more maybe he does better than expected?

      @michaelahurt 4 місяці тому +1

      He'll be way better in Chicago. A big part of his value is he's a 6'8" PG. OKC played him off ball at PF. Of course it didn't work.
      But if he has the ball and you try to play off him he's such a brilliant playmaker he'll find a way to make you pay for that. You also have to put a bigger body on him which creates an easier matchup elsewhere.
      Although I don't completely get the Caruso addition since OKC is already playing guards at SF just to get them on the floor. Yeah Caruso is a better shooter than Giddey but getting even smaller ... I'm not sure I quite see the logic in that when your biggest weakness was size and rebounding

    The first hint at who actually won will be in July. Giddey is central to the Boomers in the Australian team at the Olympics. How he performs will greatly determine team performance so whether or not he is still on an upward trajectory or remains a ben simmons-type will become more clear.
    He was left in, along with a set of ancient vets at the cost of some even younger talent I was hoping to see at that level (Sam Froling, Alex Ducas, Johnny Furphy)

    Bulls fan here. You have to give Karnisovas credit for luring Caruso away from the Lakers when no one else cared. The Lakers didn't even know what they had and let Caruso walk even though he would have stayed there for less money. And then bam he becomes one of the best contracts in the NBA. He's elite, a +/- monster, and an absolute joy to watch. I don't mind picking up Giddey and taking a gamble on a 21 year old that has some physical gifts. The Bulls have a lot of faith in their player development led by Peter Patton, who has gotten Ayo, Caruso, and some others to improve their shooting. But still, trading an elite all-defense guy who can close games for a young prospect is straight up stupid no matter what your plan is. This is a bad trade. To not even get picks shows this guy has no idea what he's doing.
    It's hard to know how much is Karnisovas's fault vs Reinsdorf, who just might be the worst owner in the NBA. I desperately hope he gets MeToo'd and has to sell the team. He's an old, rich guy, surely he's done some bad stuff? The terrible thing is Reinsdorf WANTS the Bulls to be mid, so he gets extra ticket money from play-in games and just to dangle that carrot for the fans. The Bulls are one of the best teams for attendance (I believe they were 1st or 2nd this last few years). They have no incentive to change what they're doing. It's bleak fellas.

    Why do people keep saying that Alex Caruso is an average or slightly above-average shooter when he shot 40% last year on nearly 5 attempts. I think he is a career 38% average or something really close to that. He is an excellent shooter. This is the second person I've watched since the trade who's said that he's not a great shooter.😊

  • @johnbutler5140
    @johnbutler5140 4 місяці тому

    Its weird to me that anyone would get on the Bulls for this. They obviously want a team as bad as possible. They didn't get picks, but Caruso always plays hard, always tries, and is likely worth 8-11 wins on that team. That's about four lottery spaces. If nobody else would give anything for him you obviously trade him wherever you make your team worse. That's what tanking is. Look at the team that just won the finals - they had two #3 picks anchoring it and both came from the sixers losing a ton of games.
    I don't understand people not liking this deal. The Bulls need to get as bad as possible. Trading a good player for a bad player is good when you want to lose. You can't release Caruso with the waiver rules, so trading him for someone significantly worse is the only good play.
