We can picks for future picks. Teams are bad. Omg lol
Win/Win trade both teams got what they needed and the players got a better situation for themselves and their careers.
I also see myself as a backup big man Rylan ✊🏽
LOL at the Cheers bit, its true. I'm not cheering about no data lol
That hat 🔥🔥🔥
OKC won and Bulls won.
No one i know was under a delusion that Giddey didnt have the ceiling many of us saw. It was simply a disservice to us and him, to keep him.
His ceiling is and always has been, a big time floor general. Someone who does not fit given our scheme and its silly to ask or exppect him to become a 3D guy.
Rylan man I swear your the best to cover a sports team ever man. Genuinely enjoy every show
Bulls won in the long run
The Thunder lost the trade
The Bulls absolutely FLEECED the OKC for Josh Giddey. They're not even comparable players. Josh Giddey is putting up MVP like numbers right now
Well done 👏 👏👏👏 Oklahoma would not have seen this from Josh if he was still there. I think he would definitely improved but not to where he is now. I love Josh and I agree, all parties won in one way or another.
Getting rid of Giddey is a win in in of itself.
thunder lost the trade cause could've gotten more assets for giddler
He's been playing Bird-like. Has the offense on a string 🧵
Hahahahahahahahaha both teams got what they wanted but if anyone thinks Caruso is anywhere near Giddey”s level you don’t know basketball
Does it matter OKC has more future first and second round picks than you can shake a stick at. Giddey is leading the Bulls in a role the Thunder didn't really need him at and it just so happens he's thriving now. Caruso fits the Thunder as a super sub no shame in that. Caruso is great in that role.
As mavs fan you guys scapegoated him to give a pass to some of your more favoured players… J dub, chet, dort. Giddey was not the reason you lost
most of the people talking bad about giddy, dont know talent.
The whole scenario has benefited both teams Alex is at the end of his career Josh is basically at the beginning and knew he was better than starting off the bench ,it's really like comparing apples and oranges both teams knew what they wanted and they went for it. Josh is still exploring who he is as a player I think he's nearly created as many assist points in one season as Alex's total points whilst at the bulls
Giddey's averaging a triple double since ASB .😂😂😂
It’s win-win. Duh!
