The Trade Details
The trade, which was completed just minutes before the trade deadline, sees the Chicago Bulls sending Alex Caruso to the Thunder in exchange for the talented rookie, Josh Giddey. The move comes as a surprise to many, as Caruso has been a key contributor for the Bulls this season, while Giddey has shown plenty of promise in his rookie campaign.
Many are questioning the logic behind the trade, with some speculating that the Bulls were looking to clear cap space in order to make a run at a championship this season. Others believe that the Thunder are simply looking to bolster their roster with a proven veteran like Caruso, who can provide leadership and experience to their young squad.
