Per Woj:

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

Solid move by OKC.

Chicago better get some picks with this or it's a real WTF move. Supposedly they could have had a top ten pick at the deadline.

I don't think Giddey straight up is a bad deal for Bulls at all. Caruso is a good role player. Strong defensive guard. Giddey is a tall point guard who is a match up problem with more upside. Bulls have a PG in Ball also. I'm guessing Bulls don't think Ball is going to be durable EVER in his career. But if he's available, he and Giddey will play backcourt similar to what OKC had. That's their future backcourt, which when healthy is not bad.

They said they got Giddey to replace Alonzo's playmaking. I don't think they're counting on Lonzo to be the player he was before even if he does make it back.
