I wonder if
Stuck with some horrifically bad contracts in Lavine and Ball. They only have the cap space to sign DeRozan who I kind of feel is off if he hasnt signed yet. Bulls only offering 2 year deal and he wants 4. I can kinda see a team like 76ers wanting DeRozan
I can only see tanking in their future really. Think they are stuck with Lavine unless they take on some real shity contracts from Sacramento which wont be worth the hassle. Think without DeRozan staying also they lose too much. Also want really have a means to replace him either. Not looking good overall

Caruso will be terrific for the young thunder. He brings championship experience

Isolated its a good trade etc but feel like it means they give up on Markannen who IMO was the better fit

I wonder where Wiseman ends up this off season. Cliubs with insane salary cap space and a very poor free agent class means he should end up somewhere. I could see Washington giving him a chance and starting him over Baguley to see what happens

A bad fit? Caruso fits in to almost any team in the league seamlessly. An elite defensive guard that thrives off ball but can still handle when required. He’s a great fit.

You think because they won’t be able to match the salaries or for another reason? Cause they clearly still have the assets

Matching salary
Kenrich Williams + Dieng however seems to work salary wise so that is a option. Thought it wasnt til i looked closer
Ill take that back in then. They can get both Caruso and Markannen which would be a great situationf or them

Good move for Thunder. Good for Giddey to be off that team but not a great fit as it is but hopefully they're going young.

Assuming Giddey is allowed to be the primary ball handler, which it sounds like he will be, then it’s a great fit. All he needs is the chance to play point guard.

Bulls need to get younger. It's a good step in that regard.
Should've blown it up years ago though.

Got a young promising point guard for an ageing role player.
**** knows what they do next to **** it up, but it’s a step.

ESPNs C- grade for the Bulls on the Giddey trade was a bit harsh
NSWCROW
Make me an Admin!
NO JJ, NO !!!
They got a really good young player who just didn't fit in his team. He'll thrive as the main ball handler again and 9 years younger than the guy they traded away and who has missed a fair bit through injury himself. People acting like Giddey is a scrub
Slysh

Not a scrub but I do think he has some issues, below average defender, below average shooter. Great with ball in hand but question marks over whether he can run an elite offence on a top team. I think the Bulls are getting a harsh grade when I think it makes sense for them to take the swing, but will be an interesting watch to see what peak Giddey looks like.
Buy low, sell high. I think the Bulls are buying as low as possible. Well worth the risk. Way too much being made of his playoff run in a team he ultimately didn't fit on any more
He'll average 10 apg as the main ball handler, nothing to sneeze at. He'll surely improve his 3pt shooting too. I'm a dead set scrub and improved it greatly with a bit of practice so I'll never understand why elite players can't/don't/won't!

I think it’s also just Caruso is very highly rated as a role player. A role player with a defined role that fits in anywhere has great value. Trying to find exactly where Giddey fits is a little harder but as pointed out he obviously does have a higher ceiling.
Hopefully he improves the 3 point shooting but that’s a long way from guaranteed. I wish him the best and I think this move is good for him, just can see why some have some doubts

Lakers hiring JJ is hilarious.
I hate the Lakers, obviously. But I want them to be a strong rival.
Jeanie Buss is lowkey ruining that franchise.

Terrible decision to hire JJ. It reeks of St Kilda employing Tim Watson as coach.
If the Lakers were an AFL team, they'd be showered with draft concessions, priority picks and a softening of the soft cap.
