That’s a great move for OKC.

Feels like a win/win.

OKC just got better

Phreddy

Solid move…OKC still has a bigger move to make though. They need size

Steal for OKC - I wonder if they threw in a pick or two

Jun 20, 3:18pm

Giddey was bad this year, but he’ll be better with the ball in his hands

PHXSUNS31

Jun 20, 3:20pm

I don't think he's good enough to warrant having the ball in his hands

Jun 20, 3:26pm

You might be right…but for a bad team I think you can experiment with it

PHXSUNS31

Jun 20, 3:30pm

Was he bad? Looks like most of his numbers actually improved slightly. Maybe not enough for OKC to justify re-signing

ManicBlue

He went from 17/8/6 to 12/6/5…teams ignored him when he didn’t have the ball

PHXSUNS31

Jun 20, 3:53pm

Yeah, he also played 6 less minutes/game and took 4 less shots/game too. His shooting averages all improved slightly.

I wouldn’t pay attention to bbref position designations

PHXSUNS31

Jun 20, 4:13pm

and maybe playing less is just a result of OKC having better players. He might not be a good fit with this current OKC

ManicBlue

Jun 20, 4:22pm

Definitely a bad fit…point is OKC was better with the ball in SGA/Jalen’s hands

PHXSUNS31

Jun 20, 4:37pm

and my reply to your post was nothing more than to say that he didn't really have a "bad" year. Just not good enough

ManicBlue

Jun 20, 4:41pm

Fair enough, I do think he was bad off the ball though

Comparing Giddey to a few Jazz players

Did they need another guard?

Jun 20, 3:39pm

SGA/Caruso/Wallace should be their guard rotation

PHXSUNS31

Jun 20, 3:54pm

I guess I saw Jalen Williams and Dort as the wings with SGA

Jun 20, 4:53pm

Jalen plays the 3 for them…he is kinda guard sized

PHXSUNS31

Rebounding and spacing cost them the Dallas series. This should help some with

Jun 20, 5:37pm

Ya that’s why I think they’ll look to bring in someone else at the 4

PHXSUNS31

Jun 20, 5:58pm

I think it takes minutes from Cason Wallace

Jun 20, 6:28pm

They’ve got a million picks…they’ll be ok asset wise.

Giddey heard Chicago was undergoing a "youth movement" and excitedly started

DieHarder

Jun 20, 3:21pm

He will definitely sponsor a youth program. Giddey’s corner in section 17

Pretty good get for a guy they didn't want to pay

Tare

Jun 20, 3:23pm

Both only have one year left on their contracts, but Caruso will be an UFA and Giddey a RFA.

ManicBlue

Jun 20, 3:33pm

He can't guard Luka either
