Bulls sending Caruso to OKC for Giddey

A homeless, sunburned, toothless aussie’s version of Lamar Odom. Fk that. It’s a travesty, this trade.

This kind of appeal might work on someone’s aunt buying an air fryer, but I can’t buy any scenario in which this isn’t Sam Presti robbing the Bulls.

The only MF’s who bought the Giddey hype are the f@ggots running the US media, who also told us for years Marc Sanchez and Jimmy Garropolo were franchise QB’s when in reality, they were backups. But the media f@gs just couldn’t stop drooling long enough to listen to THE TRUTH. Until it slapped them in the face.

These same no-sports-playin, undeserved-loudmouth talkin head media f@ggot MF’s, framed Giddey like an up and coming star, when he was literally a mediocre at best forward who could handle it a little bit and NOT SHOOT at all.

Dude is A slower, less explosive, shorter limbed Ben Simmons type. A homeless, sunburned, toothless aussie’s version of Lamar Odom. Fk that. It’s a travesty, this trade.

I think you're overestimating what the return was going to be for Alex Caruso. A lot of teams wanted him, but itd be mostly contenders who can offer non lottery picks and some middling vets to make the salaries match, which is not what the Bulls need. Caruso is a 30 year old somewhat injury prone role player. It's not unreasonable to assume a 21 year old sixth pick of the draft with good upside was the best offer on the table.

What Bulls is doing?

It looks to be all OKC now. Good luck to them.

Bulls what ya doing??

Like I expected, Giddey has significantly outplayed Caruso. This is only going to get worse with time.

Be sure to also bump this, when Lou Dort thanks Caruso profusely for turning him into an even greater defender, and/or when Caruso is locking up western conference guards, and causing lots of turnovers which trigger fast breaks, in the long OKC post-season run.

I never said Caruso didn't have value, but for Chicago, Giddey is already better and will be better for years to come. The idea that people said Giddey should come with a 1st round pick is absurd for these reasons.

I said earlier in this thread that Caruso is a solid glue guy when you already have your top rotation players already figured out. But he will always be a bench specialist type defender in my eyes especially because of his age and injury riddled history. Those types don't fetch picks unless you're taking back a garbage player in return.

In this case the Bills got a starter caliber player for peanuts.

I'll bump this thread when the bulls let Giddey walk for nothing.

Giddey is a starter caliber player on the Bulls. A good team isn't going to be giving him much of a role. He might be capable of Evan Turner level contributions. For a bad team that could be more valuable than Caruso but a team like OKC with better players to run the offense through have more of a use for Caruso to get a stop. What's more likely in a playoff series, SGA deferring to Giddey down the stretch vs Phoenix or them needing a stop badly and assigning Caruso to check KD?
