Caruso, 30, is entering the final year of his
four-year, $36.98 million contract, and the Bulls get younger by
adding the 21-year-old Giddey. The Thunder acquired a guard who
was named to the NBA All-Defensive first team in 2023 and the
second team in 2024.
Giddey, the sixth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, started a
career-high 80 games for the Thunder in 2023-24 and averaged
12.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists. In 210 games (all
starts) in his three NBA seasons, the Australian has career
averages of 13.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists.
Caruso spent three seasons in Chicago and made 57 starts among
his 71 appearances in 2023-24, averaging a career-high 10.1
points and 3.8 rebounds along with 3.5 assists and 1.7 steals
per game.
In 363 games (130 starts) for the Los Angeles Lakers (2017-21)
and Bulls, Caruso has put up 6.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.9
assists and 1.3 steals per contest.
