The Chicago Bulls reportedly requested four unprotected picks in exchange for Alex Caruso during previous trade negotiations, per
@JakeLFischer
“The Bulls engaged several teams over the past 18 months that were willing to sacrifice first-round draft capital for Caruso, sources said, while Chicago characteristically pushed for unprotected picks and as many as four firsts in some of those conversations. Chicago also refused to include Caruso in deals that would have offloaded Zach LaVine, sources said.”
4 picks and they went with Giddey. Pretty surprising.
I know. It’s crazy. Man, I don’t agree with them, but I think they really believe that losing Lonzo Ball is what ruined their team, and that Josh Giddey is going to do for them what Lonzo did. I don’t think they wanted to sell Caruso so much as they wanted to add Josh Giddey.
