Bulls Roasted for Alex Caruso-Josh Giddey Trade

Bulls management made a big trade call on Thursday when they traded Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey, and the team received a lot of criticism for the move.

Caruso is an elite defender who has attracted significant interest from teams across the league. Giddey, on the other hand, is an excellent passer, but his poor shooting severely limits his impact.

He also fell out of favor in Oklahoma City (although a lot of that had to do with fitness), where he played just 18.1 minutes per game during the playoffs.

However, the trade has still generated a lot of negative buzz.
