I just hate that the Bulls trade fan favorites away so quickly after the Butler fiasco. But now that Giddey feels rejected by OKC, he's the kind of player that wants to win the Bulls over. After the age of 28-29, defensive players fizzle out of this league if they aren't already an all-star
more often than not. Alex may turn out to be on a list of exceptions, but odds are, he's reached his peak. I'm still going to miss Caruso.
He joins the list of players who had fan support despite not being the guy to push the team to the next level. Andres Nocioni, Jamal Crawford, John Salmons, Charles Oakley.... and so on
I may be in the MINORITY here, but I felt the bulls actually STATUTORY raped the Thunder in this trade. He may seem UNDERAGE right now, but after a few years of GROOMING he should blossom into a nice player.
His game is a bit JUVENILE, but I think we will see him advance beyond an ADOLESCENT caliber.
Rare occasion where I agree with you.
