    I get it. Caruso's a 30 year old role player that will really help OKC over the next 3 - 4 yrs.

    Pretty stunned to see anyone think this isn't a massive win for OKC. They get a legit playoff rotation guy and gave up nothing of value

    Presti with an A+ trade…I knew they’d be getting rid of Giddey this offseason, he sucks and is an enormous liability in the playoffs

    GIddey is overrated. Sure, he can throw some pretty passes and score decently, but he wasn't helping OKC defensively. Caruso is going to help that team quite a bit. Sam can draft another Giddey with all the picks he is hoarding.

    Ya he has no use to any team that's trying to compete in the playoffs. A team like the pistons could use him maybe, but most teams he's useless

    I think they're just waiting for Chet to show he can be a real championship level #2 then they'll go in. Imagine if the Bucks start slow then they just go and offer 12 1sts for Giannis. That would br crazy.

    Giddey fell off the map in the last 24 months. He probably would've netted a late lottery pick a year ago.

    They dumped their version of Jalen.

    Can't shoot & a poor defender ..... traded for a dude that can do both.

    So we've seen what a good GM does with a high lottery pick who doesn't perform to expectations.

    Lets see what a subpar GM does with the same situation.

    I don't get this trade for Chicago, but it seems to make sense in the short and long term for OKC.

    Caruso's 30 but he should be able to play at a high level for another three or four years.
    During that time, OKC can pick up a defensive-minded guard/wing in the draft and develop him as Caruso's replacement.

    I wonder what our team would look like now if Presti took over after Morey's departure.

    they already got the no 1 seed. They are already contenders IMO.

    The synergy between Caruso and Dort will be insane.

    Jalen is a lot better than Giddey lol. First of all he goes for Milfs instead of underage girls.

    He also became a really good defender last season. If you see his offseason now he looks jacked.
