This is a very underrated move for thunder. This gonna be a major plus, now they just need another big
Boston Celtics versus Oklahoma City thunder, NBA finals 2025. I’m calling it right now. 😮
So we trade arguably our best player straight up for a guy who is at his best when he has the ball in his hands when we already have 4 other point guards. This team is a joke
Crazy
Bulls didn't receive a pick attached to it? Rough.
Huge pickup for OKC getting one of the best defenders in the league
This who the lakers should have kept I f wit Caruso fr
Presti should try to acquire Lauri Markkanen now. He would be the final piece and give them the best starting five in the NBA.
I don’t like the trade! OKC Broke up the big 3 Of SGA, Chet Holmergen and Josh Giddey
Ain't no way the Bulls were offered trades with multiple picks at the trade deadline and they decided to straight up swap AC for Giddey.
Also looking for a point guard??? After Coby White's amazing season as the PG???? Hello???????
The Bulls won this trade – Caruso is a very good role player, but Giddey is a starting caliber player and only 21, so he isn't even close to hitting his ceiling. Caruso is 30 and has maybe 2 good seasons left.
Giddey need to improve his shot,and what that means for Lonzo ball?
Do Bulls understand a rebuild means you need picks as well?
Imagine how upset the western contenders are seeing this today
Chicago destroyed OKC with this trade. Giddey is already better than Caruso. I thought we'd have to give up DeRozan or someone for someone like giddey. He's a top playmaker in this league and only 21. What a steal! Have fun watching Caruso sit on the pine nursing injuries OKC 😂
ALEX CARUSO IS OVERPAID AND OVERRATED
Should have went for bam
OKC is loaded with first round picks
They want to make a deeper run now
Good for the thunder honestly this is another great deal the thunder made
What does this mean for lonzo? He get traded to charlotte???
The Bulls entire front office and ownership needs to be replaced
P giddy out the league soon😆
Should’ve went after Drummond.
People are Going to be shocked at how good Giddey is with the ball in his hands and he makes his teammates better. I think OKC made the right move for what they needed and at the same time the ball had been taken out of Giddey’s hands for SGA and that’s understandable. The Bulls are going to be Big winner’s in this trade.
J.Kelly on the move 🚗
Traded caruso but kept Lonzo. Exactly what you’d expect from any team in Chicago😂
Sam Presti is the best GM in the league and it's not close…
He got exactly the guy they needed for a guy who they didn't need at all..
And he didn't had to use any of his million draft picks LMAO …..
Caruso is gonna get the Murray, Ant Edwards and Kyrie assignments in the playoffs..
It's absolute perfection…
Josh giddy only?
I see okc prefer defender than offender..
Giddey got a weird case why is he around
What a brilliant move for the Thunder! ⚡️👈😎👍✨
Great move by OKC…puts them above the MAVs IMO
Dort and Caruso ? Basically the Celtics
Ugh. Wanted my warriors to pick up Caruso
This is a fair and equal trade as an OKC fan‼️
I didnt know you could just trade a white guy for another white guy straight up
Wow a big acquisition for OKC. I would of prefer Caruso over JJ Reddick. OKC is looking better and better while my Lakers are becoming a complete Hollywood CIRCUS JOKE
Bulls became the 2nd dumbest franchise for this..the first..Lakers for letting caruso walk…smh
OKC should’ve waited til after the Olympics. Giddey’s stock will be sky high as he’ll be the main ball carrier and 2nd Option
Get Demar out as well 😢
