The truth is that it doesn't really matter if they are 2-5 in the East.  They aren't remotely close to competing with Boston.  And the fact remains that if you have a prime Giannis, a top 3 player in the league, the only goal is winning chips.  The guy is turning 30 early next season.  The opportunities are dwindling and he's had trouble staying healthy.  If you essentially keep this team in tack, with minor tweaking, the result will be losing before the NBA Finals 100/100 times.  They're obviously in a difficult situation but no rational person that wants to compete for a title would essentially run it back.

Nor would you trade Giannis

Of course not.  I think he was joking.

Do you think Giannis cates if he's 2nd or 5th in the East?

No. But nice goalpost shift. Clearly you saw my wisdom and adjusted accordingly.

He probably wants to be 5th in the East at least marginally less than he wants to be 2nd.

I'm confident I could lose 68 games for considerably less money.

Don't the Lakers make sense here? Since they think they are a championship roster, a veteran HC like Monty has to be a better choice than JJ.

If I were Monty, I would just cash checks next year.

The problem there is that Monty doesn't already have a podcast with LeBron James.

BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are trading two-time All-Defensive guard Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Josh Giddey, sources tell ESPN.

That's how it struck me too. The Bulls are in a spot where it benefits them to turn a solid but unspectacular player like Caruso into higher upside plays.

Yep.
Bulls need to burn it all down and start over with younger players. Everyone but Coby White, Julian Phillips, Adama Sanogo and maybe Ayo should be on the block, with little concern about maximizing trade value. It'll be addition by subtraction.

Yeah it's the previous offers of multiple picks for in season vs a player that can't shoot and probably should be in legal trouble that's pretty hard to stomach

Excellent pick-up for OKC.  Giddey has some potential but who knows if the Bulls will be able to sign him after his contract is up. 

Oh... I didn't see the Bulls got a  1st rd draft pick as well.  Good trade for both teams.

They didn't get a pick

Yeah I just saw on the cbssports.com write up that there are rumors a team had offered a top 10 pick for Caruso. If that's true, it would be malpractice to take Giddey over the pick for contract reasons alone

Also, OKC is stocked with picks. I'm surprised they didn't get one. This feels like they sold low.
