Didn’t mention that youngin Cason Wallace coming off the bench at all, his defense was amazing for a rookie a very underrated young piece moving forward for Okc.
it felt like i was watching a vet when i was watching cason during these playoffs, he was so calm on offense and his shooting was still consistent while having clamps on defense. he honestly just played great on both ends of the court and i cant wait to watch him next year.
That's exactly what I've been thinking. Boston suddenly looks like the new blueprint for an NBA team, and the Thunder are the only team close to having the same level of two-way depth. Adding Caruso is a fantastic step
They are definitely built similarly. You could even go as far to compare J will off the bench to their Horford and Wallace is a mini holiday or white. Now with Caruso he can be their Jrue holiday. He isn’t as good offensively obviously but he makes the right plays. Once Chet figures out his offensive game in terms of creating his own shot and figuring out how to use his size to shoot over players they will be finals contenders.
@@ckqThe Bulls front office has made disastrous move after disastrous move. Letting Markkannen go for a bag of chips was when I was done with them. He's right. The front office is horrible. Could've had players like Markkannen, Franz Wagner, Wendell Carter JR but no they decided to trade all of that and got ONLY VUCEVIC out of all of this thats on the team rn.
@@ckqyou’re trying so hard to be different. He can’t shoot so he’s left wide open which kills spacing and he’s one of the worst defenders in the league. He was the worst starter of any playoff team this season
Crazy that warriors ran 2 screens and caruso still contested. If his play stays consistent he will help boost the thunder into the finals. We watched the celtics and mavs switch possession after possesion to try and get good matchups. Caruso and dort might be able to limit that switching. Great steal for the thunder.
They can’t act like he’s not arguably the best defensive guard in the entire league. He’s that good. And he shoots around 38-40% from 3. Not some defensive juggernaut who’s simply an offensive liability. He’s a 2 way player😮
Caruso is a Derrick white type player. He will move the needle. And I’m a Celtics fan so Derrick white is a legend around here and that compliment isn’t given to many by me
Let's not forget to mention that the Bulls have a train wreck offense, if you toss Caruso into OKC 5 man offense and how many drives SGA and JDub take, he's going to have so many more open options.
i think dort deserves more respect as a shooter. he along with just about everyone else on the thunder besides shai and j will was on a cold streak in the playoffs, it is what it is. but he made 50% of his wide open 3s during the season as a whole. shooting just over 39% overall. that's some more than respectable shooting
Bulls should've asked for atleast 2 picks for compensation of aquiring player that is useless on both ends. 2 picks is the minimum value of caruso. Giddey is essentially a salary dump. Bulls GM gotta be receiving cash behind the scenes for this. Lol.
Another scary team out in the west. Love the trade for OKC, a very Jrue Holiday-esk trade. A pathetic move for the Bulls, they coulda gotten at least 2 first round picks and a role player
Sad the Lakers Front office didn’t know better than media and Newcomer fans(like me) to know to keep your players like Caruso and Dwight and run it back after a chip instead they went after a horrible offseason after the bubble instead and Had Lebron and ad push to play w Russ on a mega Deal instead of a smart front office like the team who just won it all
The team that just won it all had smart guy Danny Ainge and then even smarter guy Brad Stevens running the front office. About 90% of their moves in the last few years have been real winners. When they make a wrong move, they admit a mistake and quickly move on. The Lakers haven't had that kind of front office for a long time. Magic Johnson was a legendary Hall of Famer, but he picked Brandon Engram instead of Jalen Brown, and then Lonzo Ball instead of Jayson Tatum. Even I, a Celtics fan, feel bad for those moves. I mean, OUCH!!! You picked ahead of the Celtics in both years and let Tatum and Brown go to the Celtics. That parade we had last Friday? Could have been in L.A.
Interested what other people think about okc considering trading Dort now. Seems like the team would benefit more from a good big than they are from Dort, considering all the talent they would still have at his position
@@isaactesfaye9760 dort is the better defender and it not close dort is better at screen navigation and better at guarding wings Cason is good but he better at guarding guards The only argument would be offensively but Cason has lower volume compared to dort and both are good shooters The only way it makes sense to trade dort is if Carsuo Resigns for multi year deal
@@Wrestle_Kingdom dort is very good defensively but it gets overblown by the public. Wallace is just as good defensively and offensively it will be night and day between them.
why would they go that much down? only thing holding them back was Giddey, they got a better player in return and were #1 in the West and will be adding more pieces soon
@@Michael-vw4cg 17 6 6 at 21 is better than what an older Caruso provides. If they were the same age I'd take Caruso but hes older and already kinda injury prone
I think people are making a big deal about the Caruso-Giddey trade. Nine years is a lot of miles to trade for a guy who: 1. Never achieved any accolades. 2. The Bulls still missed the playoffs with him the last few years. 3. Caruso missed a lot of wide open 3s last year. I watched those games. 4. Giddey did average 16, 7, & 7 at 20 years old, which is much better than Caruso ever will, and he’s only 21 years old!
1. NBA Champion, recent two time All NBA Defense, Hustle Player Award 2. The Bulls made the play in because of him. Without? They'd have even missed that. Without further changes they may make or miss the playoffs again. 3. It's not what you miss, its what you make. And when. 40% on 4.7 attempts per game is good. Giddey is no better and lacks the skills and impact to make up for a bad shooting night. 4. 16, 7 & 7 does not impress. He's 21? Does he want a cake? Okc has turned a corner. Josh was left behind. Caruso was not brought in to get 16, 7 & 7. Presti isn't done yet. We're building a Championship, playoff ready team. Giddey was given an opportunity to fill a role off the bench. A great opportunity. He declined. Said it himself yesterday. "At this point of MY CAREER I didn't want to come off the bench." Great! You know who will and not complain? AC. So good luck with your play in team, Josh. As a long time Bulls fan I know you're gonna need it.
@@jdh9676 Don’t get me wrong, I completely get it. Josh Giddey could be on a similar path to Michael Carter Williams and Tyreke Evans, their best seasons was really early and they fell off tremendously. Also I’m very disappointed in the Bulls organization overall. The owner does not care. I think Caruso fits better for OKC than Giddey because SGA & Caruso were top 3 in steals last year. But anything can happen in the next 2 years (let alone 9 years). All I’m saying is considering the pros and cons of both sides, the trade may end up being even or in favor of Giddey, more than people are willing to admit.
I'm baffled at the perception that this trade was good for OKC. 2 yrs. ago Giddey averaged 17/6/8 in only 31 minutes per game. In James Harden's last season at OKC he averaged 17/4/4 in 31 minutes. What all of you are about to see in the next few years is Giddey going off and it won't be at the level of what Harden became but it's going to be incredible. You don't trade a 21 yr. old rising star like that. This was an ABSOLUTELY IDIOTIC trade and I promise you Sam Presti and OKC will find that out very soon.
Except Giddey isn’t a good enough offensive player. He can’t create is own shot and is horrible at shooting so I think okc did an amazing job getting rid of him as early as possible.
@@tylernoguera2500 How did he average 17 points and 6 assists in 31 minutes per game if he's not an incredible offensive player? This I've got to hear.
James Harden had a 66 TS% to Giddey’s 54.7%, there’s no comparison here. Not to mention all of the standout “swing traits” like the ability to shoot the ball, and athleticism.
It’s more about fit than anything. With Chet and Jdub turning into the guys they are, and Shai becoming an MVP candidate who needs the ball a lot, there’s just no way to make Giddy fit with the rest of the team. They sent him somewhere he can have the ball more, and they get a really great role player in Caruso. It’s not always about ability, it’s about fit. And Giddy just no longer fit on the Thunder
Meh, if you went to a Dollar Tree and tried to buy a Derek White, they would tell you, "we don't carry anything that elite..but we have this Caruso if you want"
you see white as a good defender because all of his teammates are good like jrue tatum jb and kp? and caruso ? he have demar coby vuc and zac. he have to do everything in that lineup.
o shit! this trade really is perfect luka donic is goin to be shutdown by caruso if okc sees them again in the playoffs next year.. OKC will go to the finals next year with this trade
Didn’t mention that youngin Cason Wallace coming off the bench at all, his defense was amazing for a rookie a very underrated young piece moving forward for Okc.
And he takes good shots in the flow of the offense and is efficient.
it felt like i was watching a vet when i was watching cason during these playoffs, he was so calm on offense and his shooting was still consistent while having clamps on defense. he honestly just played great on both ends of the court and i cant wait to watch him next year.
AC has been increasing fun to watch since his time with the Lakers, I’ve always loved watching him play ball.
He’s gonna be a dawg 💪🏾
Boston is the prototype for OKC. What's scary is Jdub and Chet being hell lot younger
That's exactly what I've been thinking. Boston suddenly looks like the new blueprint for an NBA team, and the Thunder are the only team close to having the same level of two-way depth. Adding Caruso is a fantastic step
Which is not a benefit when you compare them to Boston!!!

They should play them together
@@olafharoldsonnii4713 thats not related to what I said at all but yeah
Very good analysis. Appreciate the way you break it all down. Thank you.
As a bulls fan this video actually hurts, our front office is so bad
The trade wasn’t that bad don’t panic
Giddey can actually ball, just wasn't the best fit for us. Hope he has better luck with y'all
They can’t act like he’s not arguably the best defensive guard in the entire league. He’s that good. And he shoots around 38-40% from 3. Not some defensive juggernaut who’s simply an offensive liability. He’s a 2 way player😮

Anyone who doesn't have Caruso on their team should want him on their team.
A lineup of Shai, Dort, AC with some of the best on ball and help defense AND Holmgren blocking everything is going to be a nightmare for teams.
Mikal Bridges got traded for 5 first round picks, AC is worth at least one first round pick
i think dort deserves more respect as a shooter. he along with just about everyone else on the thunder besides shai and j will was on a cold streak in the playoffs, it is what it is. but he made 50% of his wide open 3s during the season as a whole. shooting just over 39% overall. that's some more than respectable shooting
Waiting for that nets trades analysis video 👀
Caruso can evolve to that defensive guard that help win Ships like a Ron Harper and Jrue Holiday...imo
hoop venue, you doing God's work showcasing a caliber player like Caruso, a lot to learn from, NBA just keeps getting more exciting to watch
0:12 caruso can arguably be a all nba defender for the next 5 years atleast so I think he moves the needle a lot
He's 30. Caruso will be good two more years, and he'll play another two years after that.
Soooo can we get analysis on what Giddey brings to the Bulls…please 🙂 (I’m a bulls fan I need some reassurance on this trade)
I am anticipating already it's his defense alone taking the pressure off of Sga can guard ones and twos
Love the channel
Bulls should've asked for atleast 2 picks for compensation of aquiring player that is useless on both ends. 2 picks is the minimum value of caruso. Giddey is essentially a salary dump.

Why would you trade proven players when you have 30 draft picks!!!
Not going to happen
Once OKC gets their interior force from the draft or trade, this WILL be a championship team within the next 2 years
If thunder get another big man for defense and rebounds, hologram can maybe develop faster instead of getting smothered.
You do realize Chet is being developed faster being at the 5
i hope all you hoophead never let the lakers forget that they let him walk even after he offered to take less money than the bulls were offering.
I mean the Tatum example he straight slapped Tatums arm…. But yea he is a good defender
Do a video on hartenstein
they just need some role players with more size now, it was the size of the mavs that won them that series
Never noticed how long his spider arms are
Omg I just thought about him and sort as a backcourt. Tell me this isn’t Celtics 2.0
Rename this video “ why Alex Caruso is perfect for the thunder” as a bulls fan I can tell you this trade was not perfect lol
Joe Ain't no Slouch at Defense definitely a Threat offensively
