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

Caruso is an expiring deal…Chicago should’ve traded him last year if they wanted more for him.

That’s a great move for OKC.

Feels like a win/win.

OKC just got better

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

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

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

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

PHXSUNS31

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
