The Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a stunning trade on Thursday but the blockbuster swap should be viewed as a win-win swap
The Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a blockbuster swap on Thursday exchanging former No. 6 overall pick Josh Giddey for a defensive ace with championship pedigree, Alex Caruso. This trade bolstered a 57-win ball club and signals their championship aspirations in a win-now move.
As Giddey suffered a career-worst it was clear to see this was not the proper environment to maximize his skill set. Without the on-ball reps to flourish, Giddey suffered a year-three set back in an off-ball role that he will likely never be cut out for.
