1 for 1, this is a win-win deal! The No. 6 pick averaged a three-double per game, and the team lost the draft to help the finals

Previously, the deal between Towns and Randall was said to be a win-win deal. After all, after this deal, the Knicks reached the division final and the Timberwolves also reached the division final. But now, this is not a win-win deal, but a single win for the Knicks. If there were no Randall, the Timberwolves would probably be able to enter the Western Conference Finals, because the Lakers encountered in the first round did not have an inside line, and the Warriors in the second round, Curry was injured. Facing the Thunder, Randall's true shape was revealed, and he was still the one who would be inefficient in facing the big center. The Timberwolves in the offseason will most likely not give Randle a 190 million contract extension because he is not a qualified championship puzzle. For the sake of a big contract, Randle may choose to give up the execution of the player option contract and become a free agent to test the waters of the free market. At that time, the Timberwolves would be equivalent to trading Towns for a Divine and a first-round pick in order to save money. This would be a loss. If the Knicks had no Towns, they would definitely not be able to enter the Eastern Conference Finals. Although the defense was poor, the offense was too strong.

To talk about a win-win deal, I think it was the first trading shot fired by the Thunder and the Bulls in the offseason. The Thunder sent Joshgidi to exchange for Caruso from the Bulls. The deal completely disrupted the Bulls' operation plan. They planned to use Caruso as a bargaining chip to take LaVin's garbage contract and send LaVin's garbage contract away. At that time, the Kings and the 76ers were interested. As a result, after Caruso was sent away, the two teams directly refused to discuss LaVin's transaction.

Thunder used a highly potential No. 6 pick to exchange for a undraft, which caused quite a lot of controversy at the time. After all, Jidi seemed to have great potential, but the reason why the Thunder did this was because Jidi was useless to the team. Because of Javi's growth, he replaced Jidi as the second ball holder in the team. Moreover, Javi's defense and ball-holding offensive ability are better than Jidi. In addition, he was targeted wildly in the playoffs, Jidi was also questioned.

Caruso has playoff experience. He doesn't take advantage of the ball, and his defense is excellent. Caruso is the player who has been selected as the best defense player. In the Thunder, Dagnot has always advocated leadership defense and steal counterattacks. These are what Caruso is good at, and he just fits in with the team's system. After joining the Thunder, although Caruso did not perform very well in the regular season, Caruso proved his worth in the playoffs.

A point guard can defend the opponent's 4th and 5th positions, and because his stealing ability is too sharp, Reed was so scared that he dropped the ball directly when facing him, he was simply a thief. Caruso has averaged 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game so far in the playoffs, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41%, and averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game. This is a performance averaged by 22 minutes per game. Caruso has made more than 3 steals in 4 games so far in the playoffs. You should know that he has very little playing time, and the result can still be done.

Now with the help of Caruso, the Thunder has entered the playoffs, and it is the team with the most chance to win the championship. Another main reason why the Thunder gave up Gidey was that Gidey faced an early contract renewal this summer. The Thunder already had their core lineup, and they no longer had more maximum salary to give Gidey. No matter how you look at this deal, the Thunder will not lose. After all, if Gidey is kept, they may not be a team for the championship. Caruso makes them a favorite to compete for the championship for many years in the future.

Let's take a look at Josh Giddy. During the time he first joined the Bulls, in order to shake hands with Lavin, they gave Lavin more ball rights. Giddy did not get much chance to show himself, and the level he played was the level of an ordinary blue-collar backcourt. However, after Lavin left the team, everything changed. Giddy got absolute ball rights. He became the team's No. 1 position and led the Bulls to play very well with his performance in offense and defense.

Gidey scored as a star after the All-Star, averaging 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 45.7%. This is a perfect All-Star level. He also realized his talent after leaving the Thunder. For a team that rebuilds, Gidey is obviously more suitable than a puzzle player like Caruso. Now the US media has also reported that the Bulls are interested in renewing Gidey in the offseason, and he is worth a five-year contract of 150 million or even higher. Although

was given up by the team, Giddy still highly recognized the Thunder. He often forwarded some news about his teammates to support them. Giddy also understood that if he had no chance to do this in the Thunder, although his defense was not good, if he had configured a suitable lineup to build a team around him, the Bulls would definitely have a chance to complete their rise in the future. The Bulls now have double stars in the backcourt, and they have a future worth looking forward to. There are very few win-win transactions in the NBA history, and there are too few operations that achieve the goal and seem to be far beyond the goal. Having said that, what do you want to say about this transaction? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
