The Bulls targeted Giddey just as specifically as the Oklahoma City Thunder eyed Alex Caruso in the one-for-one trade finalized on Friday. League sources indicated that the New York Knicks and Sacramento Kings both offered draft capital to the Bulls in packages they felt were superior to the one-for-one deal.

Josh Giddey won’t claim to be starting point guard or play GM and announce a youth movement. But this is clear: The Australian is excited for a fresh start. And the Bulls targeted him, turning down offers from other teams for Alex Caruso

Re-upping this list of potential Bucks trade targets leading up to the draft. This assumes you’d use either Portis ($12m) / Connaughton ($9m), which limits them to guys <$12m. Would need Brook to go more expensive. Trade ideas? You can scratch Caruso… pic.twitter.com/ncWK7vuroG – 10:42 PM

The Kings already tried to use it for a significant roster upgrade. They were close to a trade for defensive ace Alex Caruso last week, according to league sources, offering the No. 13 pick to Chicago as the key chip. -via New York Times / June 24, 2024
Clemente Almanza: Alex Caruso on what makes a good defender: “You gotta have a little bit of amnesia. Guys are gonna score. You all watched SGA play the last couple of years.” -via Twitter @CAlmanza1007 / June 24, 2024
Clemente Almanza: Alex Caruso on Mark Daigneault: “He still has the same personality and demeanor on the sideline when I was playing against him in the games as he did when I was with the Blue. Quiet, very observant… Just puts the players first. He’s a good leader.” -via Twitter @CAlmanza1007 / June 24, 2024
