TRADE: OKC gets Caruso | CHI gets Giddey

[dirkfansince1998]

Actually like it for both teams. Bulls owner can pretend that this is a win now move but they are getting one of the most promising playmaking prospects in the league for cheap. Prior to this seasons off court allegations and the following shooting issues in the playoffs he was one of the most hyped young players in the league. Gambling on his ability/upside and the hope that he can improve his shooting isn't a bad idea. Giddey is younger than OMax. Only 21 years old.
I am sure that the Bulls will find a way to mess this up but isolated this is one of their better moves. Probably end up chasing veterans instead of trying to sell DeRozan and Vucevic. But that's a different conversation.

OKC gets a low usage glue guy and point of attack defender. Kind of player that would be a great fit on any contender. As other pointed out. Mavs opponents are collecting top tier perimeter defenders. Baring a miracle any team that wants to make the finals in the next 3-5 years is going to face Doncic or Jokic. OKC just added an important piece to fix the perimeter defense. Next move has to be a front court upgrade. They need more size.
With the amount of youth/depth OKC has for the 1-3 spots they also aren't depending on Caruso to play 70+ games. As long as he is available in the playoffs they should be fine.
