What does your team need to do in the 2024 offseason?

What was Chicago doing any time soon even with Caruso?

He's a legit role player on a contender. But on a non contender he's not very helpful.

Giddey is a massive upgrade for them.

Same thing. I'm rooting for the Thunder next season.

Let's see what they do with Zach, if they couldn't get a pick for AC, they are probably giving away 2 for him.

Perfect fit. They can use Dort, picks and some of their young guys to go after a semistar. Wonder who they are targeting.

Awful trade for Chicago. They made the right call trading Carruso they should have done it last year. But Giddey is an awful add. HeÂ’s just not very good but will still be owed a contact extension after the season. They now have 3 ball dominant guys in Derozan Lavine and Godfrey yet non of them can shoot and play together. Giddey is such a bad shooter he was played off the court in the playoffs. Despite the passing heÂ’s not a starting player in the modern game. They need to remain in the bottom 10 to keep their pick in the loaded 2025 draft and should be bottoming out rather than trying to create a treadmill team every year. Every player on the team should be traded for picks besides White and Ayo. They need to do a total gut and rebuild there not signed guys like Vucevic Patrick Williams and trading for guys like Giddey. They continue to be one of the 2-3 worst run teams in the league every year.

an upgrade to what? What are the Bulls trying to do?

They aren't good enough to win so why are they upgrading players? This is his last deal and he's an RFA.

Just a total head scratcher move from Chicago

Derozan is an UFA - I had a feeling he'd be gone anyway but I think this move for Giddey signals that it's absolutely true that he's leaving.

Ah you're making the mistake of thinking drob can speak objectively on an Aussie player lol

Monk back to the Kangz for 4/78, last year may be a player option. Good signing for both parties and he seems to like it there.

[daeve]

Jazz are an interesting team being linked to Lavine, hadn't considered them for his services

[Sidery] The Bulls are in active trade talks with the Jazz and Sixers centered around Zach LaVine, per @KCJHoop. After Chicago traded Alex Caruso, LaVine being shipped out appears imminent. x.com

[jcardstore]

Not sure what the Jazz would do with Lavine but the Sixers are really intriguing. That gives them another dynamic scorer outside of the big 2, something they really lacked last season.

Some are saying they may be going to tank and are going to pick up picks/assets in taking on Lavine's contract and helping to facilitate a contender getting Lauri.

So far seeing Morey linked to going after Lauri and Himmy Butler, and possibly using Lavine as a fallback or just a smokescreen.

Can the Wolves even really make any moves with the cap restraints?

They need to get rid of Gobert, don’t know if they can but he’s arguably the most overrated player at his position. Completely exposed against the Mavs.

I’ve never said this in a decade… but I agree with you

Caruso was pointless to Chicago

Giddey might be pointless if they don’t bring him back I suppose

But I’d much rather have him as opposed to Caruso when my team isn’t good anyway

Maybe I’m biased as I’d always try and buy low on a young guy as opposed to a 30 year old that will never win a damn thing with my current team

That being said OKC also killed it. I’m not saying Chicago won the trade

It makes sense for both… to me at least

But if you’re Chicago, and Giddey leaves next year. Then what?

Unless the idea is to use him as an expiring to trade for picks in the future.

I guess you could argue that Chicago wants to showcase Giddey to build his value and trade him at the deadline

No clue

Caruso isn’t part of the plan. So who cares?

Name a better player you were getting over Giddey to at least debate bringing back

Caruso was worthless to Chicago

What could they have gotten that they didn’t get?

They're stuck in purgatory.

They're gonna clean house by the looks. Pretty simple really.

I think it's a great trade for both teams.

I’d take a future late 1st over Giddey tbh but yea you’re probably not getting a better player

[drobfan8]

I think it's clear people didn't see Giddey play when SGA was out.

He literally will push the ball and get your shooters wide open looks.

I'm not excited to watch Chicago all of a sudden, but he obviously isn't a fit next to SGA.

Caruso is perfect for OKC.

Would be incredible to see OKC improve on this season. They need a big also.

[Stifle]

After the Pistons let Chauncey Billups go, Detroit still has yet to find a leader and I’ve closed the book on them a decade ago.

The curse od not drafting Melo, Wade or Bosh has haunted them for a long while.

[ninjacookies]

P Giddy for Billy Zane...




Nguyen for both squads, although marginal.


OKC still needs a playoff vet and Chicago still needs the greatest prayer ever prayed.


Guess this marks the end of the Zo 5 year recovery plan.

One less Ball to deal with.

Lol. You're literally the most one eyed fanboy on this site bar the LeBron fanaticals.

I just think none of you watched OKC when SGA wasn't there. It's pretty clear.

Giddey averages soemthing like 17/8/8 without SGA. And that was with useless guys shooting.

He's literally the type of pass first playmaker teams want.

The fit is still average with White, DDR, Lavine. So we'll see what other moves are made.

If you think Giddey is terrible, than that take can join the rest of your awful ones. The list is growing.

Caruso got to a far better situation. So I'm confused by all the butthurt from people.

You want to trade the main guy that helped them win games this season?

Man. You can really tell a lot of the daeve types in here that clearly don't know the sport.

[drobfan8]

Looked like LeBron was being wined and dined by Philly.

I'm sure he's just doing his due diligence. I really doubt he actually wants to move to another team.

Philly will always fall shot. But PG seems a nice fit for them.

Chicago hopefully sell off.

Trae I think could be on the move.
Ingram.

I'd actually prefer to see Zion just get partnered up with legit PG anywhere. Lamelo for the highlights would be a wet dream.

Denver need to upgrade. Same with Dallas.

Does LAC stand still? Losing PG would put a ton of pressure on tissue soft Kawhi and gang.

[BambinoShuffle]

Trae and AD would make the Lakers great again.
