More importantly the Thunder get a SHOOTER

Giddeys inability to space the floor and hit a three was crushing in the playoffs. This is a no brainer move for OKC. Makes them better for a real run.


Ya Cuz Alex Caruso is gonna put em over tha top

Giddey was a young stud that can only go up. Now they admit they cant coach two mans they gotta get rid of one

Caruso is also a monster defensively who's gonna give you 40%+ from 3pt and knock down open threes consistently. That's what they needed in the playoffs.

They're trying to win. OKC is stacked with draft picks anyway lol

Caruso is a great fit. Giddey is good but if you can't shoot you don't have a place playing as a guard on any contending team.

OKC has the chance to create something magical

they are trading it away for a washed Alex Caruso

Caruso's Ceiling is 10ppg. You can butter that up all you want

Giddey has a way higher ceiling. They are trading away so much potential for alex fucking caruso.its madness.

You're heavily underrating Caruso and his fit. It's not even a question that he fits better on this Thunder team.

Giddey will do well in Chicago. He'll average great numbers on a mid team and look good. He's still not the fit that Caruso is on the Thunder. Caruso is going to fill a need for OKC so easily.

Thunder had a hard time playing Giddey in the playoffs. He killed their spacing. Dude was being left wide open so the defense could double Shai and others.
