AROUND the NBA:

Giddey´s peak season was 17/8/6 shooting 48/33/73. Giddey is 21.
Green´s peak season was 9/3/2 shooting 54/40/72. Green is 23.

Yeah I think a player that is two years younger and doubles your averages over a season has a slightly higher trade value. 

I actually think OKC might regret this trade. They basically gave into the public opinion that Giddey was unplayable thanks to what the Mavs did. 

They dumped a 21 year old averaging 9/4/2 in 18 MPG in his first play-offs, cause the Mavs played him off the court in ONE play-off series and the media jumped on it.

Fun facts: Giddy shot 35% from three in the play-offs. Holmgren shot 26%. Giddey shot 50% from three on 4.5 attempts in the first round of the play-offs.

Bad idea to trade a 21 year old player based on one play-off series, when one team f***** with his young head. I guarantee you the Mavs will try the same approach with Caruso and say prove it.

The thing with OKC is that they have a kind of limited funds, while they usually have an eye for talent in the draft. 
So, were they going to give Giddy his extension just a year before Chet signs his? the answer is no.
Giddy was in the Harden situation, except he is unlikely to be ever half the player. 
OKC was never going to see the peak of Giddy, and they did a good trade based on that tbh
It is a win win sitaution for both sides.
