A lot going on with the Giddey trade. Legal aside, the Bulls traded Caruso for Giddey straight up. There were better offers before the trade deadline and I imagine better offers before this trade. Bulls took on a distressed asset about to hit RFA next summer at his lowest value. He just got exposed in the playoffs and was benched. EVEN IF Giddey becomes a HOFer with the Bulls, the trade itself in the moment is a disaster and nothing changes that.

It’s telling that the Thunder fans’ reactions are basically “Sucks we had to give up Giddy but he should shine on the Bulls.” It’s going to sound crazy but this could turn into a reverse Lauri situation where for once the Bulls get a young guy whose team didn’t know how to develop him within the team who goes to a new environment and starts to shine thanks to him playing his game rather than trying to fit a system he wasn’t attuned for.
Plus he already has his Stacey and Adam nickname thanks to balling out against us last season.

Yea just you I guess, I’m not mad because it’s a move to the right direction but I think any other FO would have gotten some kind of pick. AK has a track record of getting fleeced
