Point proven, herb Jones is untouchable if Caruso can nab Josh Giddey.

I never say anybody is untouchable...but it would take a HUGE "needle mover" for me to trade Herb right now. I still have no idea what Herb's offensive ceiling is. Gotta give him another year & move him out of the corner for this coming season...then, we should have a better idea what we've truly got...with Herb.

Excellent move by OKC. That team is going to be a force.

Probably one of those rare trades...where both teams come out very well. OKC is ready to become a serious playoff contender...NOW...and the Bulls got a great return for Caruso...especially given their current situation.

Giddey looked terrible in the playoffs, even against the Pels. Bulls must be trying to dump salary.

Getting younger. They are also trying to dump Lavine. Gotta think Vuc is next.

OKC got a difference maker without even using any of their huge accumulation of 1st rounders.

He’s still pretty young and not a bad player. I think that’s a pretty good return for Caruso who they weren’t resigning. The pedo still has some upside.

This makes the Thunder preseason favorites for #1 seed again in the west. Im afraid of what the Thunder will do to our assholes the next 5 or so years.

Man to have Presti over fricking Griff. Thunder are going to dominate for years ad they still have a huge war chest of pucks to make trades. Somewhere BI is hiding in a closet scared of a 3 headed defensive mobster of Dort, Caruso and Wallace.

Do they? The Clippers have to fall off for that to have value. The Pels haven’t been able to turn their picks into anything worth while.

They potentially have 15 first round picks and 22 second round draft picks till 2030. So yes they do. Its not all dependent on clippers.

Once everybody figured out how valuable Caruso was gonna be...to a contending team...his value jumped considerably. Key was to be the first to figure it out and go ahead and grab him a coupla years ago. Get him cheap...plus he's got several more years to be a very valuable player.

I'd guess he will finish his career, several years from now...at OKC. Once you get a true "winner" on your team...AND you're a contender...you REALLY don't want to let them get away.

Giddey was something of a pels killer so I'm kinda glad he's gone. Caruso is good though.

I wouldn't say untouchable, but most pro leagues are copy cat. If you want to try to reproduce what Boston did, you need to surround your stars with long guards that can defend at a high level and knock down three's when open. That is Herb.
