Fuck Reinsdorf, fuck AKME, fuck OKC, fuck P Giddey, fuck this team

Funniest part is a year ago the Thunder laugh at this proposal. One down season in Giddy’s first ever experience in the playoffs doesn’t mean he’s going to be bad forever. But hey, let’s outrage!

Chi got a young 1-2 playmaking guard that can rebound & has high upside and okc gets an excellent 3&d to pair w/ dort.

I’m not going back to the UC until this FO and pedo are gone. Fuck you Jerry. Ruining 2 Chicago franchises at once

I assume this is the start to a fire sale worth of trades. I know Giddy feels like a weak get for Caruso, but that’s because we’re looking at it as fans of Caruso. Giddy has a lot of upside and this team needs a pass first guard to facilitate and that’s Giddy’s best skill.
I’m willing to give it till the end of FA to see if this is an utter failure. If by that point the only guy over 30 on this team is Vooch because he’s untradable it’s a clear direction. We’re going young and playing up tempo.
People wanted the Bulls to blow it up, this is what that looks like.

this is fair value for a year of Caruso
he’s injury prone and can’t play 30MPG reliably
it was either Giddey or two late firsts – which do you prefer?

As someone who was a huge Giddey fan prior to the allegations, I looked into them a lot and there’s honestly a lot of details that have been left out of the news reports and scrubbed from the internet since – there was more than one underage girl and I hate how people have been quick to forgive him and even feel bad for him

More I think about this trade the more I like it

It shouldn’t be as hard as they make it seem right? Reinsdorf is not a good owner and doesn’t have the right priorities, I get that. But it’s not like the bulls have to play moneyball, there’s nothing preventing a good roster besides bad decisions

My impression of Giddey as a Mavs fan who was very happy any time he was on the floor. Giddey is a good player per se but he’s not good enough. His only value comes from having the ball in his hand and a decently high usage so he can call plays, pass and occasionally drive. His defense and shooting are huge minuses so he cannot play off ball when the stakes are high. Given that the Bulls seems to be delighted with just making the playouts, I have no doubts he could put some nice stats next year but he will never to bring the team to the next step imo.
Having said that, thanks again Eastern Conference for making life in the west even more insane. Good job!

You guys are undervaluing Giddey. I know you guys loved AC and hoped to get more but Giddey is a lot better than people are giving him credit for right now.

Such a shitty trade I’m still so pissed

I think this is fair value. We weren’t getting early round draft picks for Caruso, we were being offered multiple late round picks by teams like Philadelphia. Most of the guys drafted in the late first round don’t end up being a rotation player, and Giddey is that already.
On the other hand he is a player with very little role versatility. Until his shooting improves he doesn’t have much value playing off ball. So playing him takes the ball out of Coby’s hands. Maybe that could end up working, since Coby doesn’t seem like he is that good at setting up others. But we got younger, and got better value than I expected.
But for pretty obvious reasons, I am not rooting for this fucker. Hoping the Bulls re-establish his value and flip him for something better. For his sake I hope it is somewhere with lax laws and enforcement similar to the Okies.

The continued existence of the Chicago Bulls undermines the claim that this is a serious basketball league.

I don’t get this tho. Seems like a worse.playe in many ways and he’s got the off the court bullshit. Caruso a fan favorite and this didn’t come with anything else?

Look, Giddey isn’t awful, and I’m not going to root against him, but not getting picks from OKC is criminal.
I’ll be honest: At this point, until Jerry sells, I’m pretty checked out on this team. I’ll check the standings, maybe watch the odd game, but I can just go from football to college hoops/hockey pretty easily, and by the time those are wrapping up its baseball season/stuff is getting warm.

It seems like a bunch of Bulls employees are in here posting today.

Everybody bitching about draft picks makes me laugh. In the last five drafts, only one pick has panned out. We can’t develop players here but yeah “give us picks!” Lmao
