With the Thunder, Caruso gets a chance to compete for his second ring, after winning with the Lakers during the 2020 season. They finished first place in the Western Conference last season, posting a 57-25 record. The Thunder advanced past the Pelicans in the first round but were subsequently halted by the Western Conference champion Mavericks.
Trading for Giddey is a long-term play. They'll have his contract situation to think about immediately, as he's playing on the final season of his rookie deal that's slated to make him $8.3 million this season. That's something the Bulls had to include in their calculus in trading for him, seeing as they cut ties with arguably their most valuable asset in Caruso.
