[Woj] Chicago Trades Alex Caruso for Oklahoma Josh Giddey

Alex Caruso has very ordinary numbers - but he is an excellent fit for OKC and what they will need deep in the playoffs.

He is only playing about 20 minutes a night in the regular season, but it will likely be 30 a night in key playoff series and he will be in the game down the stretch in the 4th quarters.

He is an elite defensive player that makes very few mistakes, he can play multiple roles on offense too - his on/off court splits are massive, like a +12 this year and have been positive every year in the league.

As long as he isn't asked to score a lot - he can do what the Thunder need.

Giddy is a free agent and someone (probably the Bulls) will pay him a lot of money.

 

D*mn they got no major Free Agents coming up anytime soon

Rocket River

 

Sure but he still aint worth 20M. Its the same for all their role players like Dort and Harty. Yeah theh are great fits, but they should be making half their salary.

 

I didn't realize how impressive Giddey's post ASB numbers are. 21-10-9 on 51/47/80 splits... damn.
