Bulls Trade Caruso to Thunder for Giddey

The Chicago Bulls are trading two-time All-Defensive Team guard Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Josh Giddey, sources told ESPN on Thursday.

Giddey, 20, is a rising star who averaged 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game last season. He was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft.

Caruso, 28, is a veteran defender who has helped the Bulls reach the playoffs the past two seasons. He averaged 8.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game last season.

The Bulls are giving up a valuable defender in Caruso, but they are getting a young player with a lot of potential in Giddey. Giddey is a versatile guard who can score, rebound and pass. He is also a good defender.

The Thunder are getting a proven winner in Caruso. Caruso has helped the Bulls win two playoff series the past two seasons. He is a good locker room presence and a leader on the court.

This trade is a win-win for both teams. The Bulls are getting a young player with a lot of potential, and the Thunder are getting a proven winner.
