Josh Giddey - Dealt to Chicago The Thunder traded Giddey to the Bulls in exchange for Alex Caruso on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Impact After receiving a significantly reduced role in the playoffs, averaging just 12.5 minutes across six games against Dallas, Giddey's long-term future in Oklahoma City seemed uncertain. So it is not surprising to see the 21-year-old guard dealt for Alex Caruso, who can offer better perimeter defense to the Thunder. Giddey will have an opportunity to receive the ball in his hands more often now that he is no longer playing alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and averaged 12.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 25.2 minutes across 80 games in 2023-24.
