In Giddey, the Bulls land a former No. 6 overall pick who was in desperate need of a fresh start.
The Chicago Bulls are trading Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Josh Giddey, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Caruso, an All-Defense guard who has spent the past three seasons in Chicago after winning the 2020 championship with the Lakers, has been the subject of trade rumors for several years now. The Bulls have resisted offers built around draft picks throughout his entire time in Chicago. But in Giddey, the Bulls land a former No.
He is best-suited as a full-time point guard, and those on-ball reps won't be available if DeRozan and LaVine are still there. DeRozan is set to become a free agent and LaVine has been the subject of his own trade rumors, though, so this move indicates that the Bulls are ready for a more significant rebuild around Giddey and Most Improved Player runner-up Coby White. As for the Thunder? They bring back a role player who actually started his career in their organization.
