Lonzo is not better than Giddey, especially if he is actually going to be allowed to run the pg essentially and have the ball.

As a Bulls fan I guess I don’t hate the trade as much as some people do. Lonzo is an insurance write off but they need a ball handler. Caruso might be their best all around player, but does anyone see the Bulls dropping 19-20M/yr on him to re-sign given the state of the rest of the roster?
They did upgrade PG with Giddy and a lot of upside age wise vs a physical 30 yo who doesn’t handle the ball much. Clearly the plan is to replace Lavine with Coby and get something out of it. My take is they aren’t seeing any worthwhile PGs proposed in potential Lavine packages and Giddy was the only PG they had any interest in available.
Given the issue the past two years has been largely offensive, mgmt would rather see what they can do offensively knowing they’re gonna be a loser team next year regardless. I love Caruso but he‘s not moving the needle with tough defense next year in Chicago and the cheap Reinsdorfs aren’t gonna pay him double in a year. At least he gets to be a more impactful player somewhere else and the bulls may end up with a serviceable PG for less than Caruso over the next five years. That’s not the worst outcome for the Bulls at the moment.
The bigger issue is they’re gonna get peanuts for Vuc and Lavine, probably even less so when you frame their wants as a 4/5 in any potential deal.
