Thunder Trade Josh Giddey to Bulls in Exchange for Alex Caruso

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Chicago Bulls have agreed to a trade that will send Josh Giddey to Chicago in exchange for Alex Caruso, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days.

Why the Thunder Traded Giddey

The Thunder have been looking to shake up their roster after a disappointing season in which they finished with a 24-58 record. Giddey, 20, averaged 16.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.4 assists last season, but the Thunder believe they can get a more experienced point guard in Caruso.

Why the Bulls Traded Caruso

The Bulls are looking to add some youth to their roster after losing Lonzo Ball to free agency. Caruso, 28, is a veteran point guard who can provide the Bulls with some much-needed experience and leadership.

What the Trade Means for Both Teams

The trade is a win-win for both teams. The Thunder get a more experienced point guard in Caruso, while the Bulls add a young and talented player in Giddey.

What’s Next

The Thunder and Bulls will both be looking to make more moves before the start of the season. The Thunder are reportedly looking to trade Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, while the Bulls are reportedly looking to add a starting power forward.
