The Bulls and Thunder completed a trade involving Josh Giddey and Alex Caruso, with Giddey seeking a fresh start in Chicago after disagreements with the Thunder. Despite challenges, Giddey is known for his passing and rebounding abilities.
The Thunder, led by general manager Sam Presti, emphasized Giddey's talents but ultimately accommodated his trade request. Giddey faced backlash on the road amid unfounded allegations, but investigations cleared his name.
