AROUND the NBA:

I‘m wondering if the trade value of Giddey was higher than the one of Josh Green or if we could have pulled off an Aussie for Caruso trade as well.

I'd guess that yes, Giddey is still a brighter shining prospect than Green, but only to teams willing to give him the ball, and that's honestly not a (starting) role many teams currently have open, so it's a decent question.  Just my gut reaction to your question. 

In other words, Giddey must've been on a short list of young Lonzo Ball replacements Chicago was coveting, and I can kind of see it, but I still think they missed an opportunity here. Presti has so many picks he can afford to give them out like tic tacs. They're telling us they couldn't get ONE of them?
