After the Thunder lost to the Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals, everyone is actually quite optimistic about their lineup.
Basically, they don't need to dismantle the lineup too much, as long as they maintain the main core and make some small adjustments and tinkering, they will still be the first echelon of the league next season.
And then I didn't expect that the Thunder, who seemed to need the least large-scale reinforcements, were the most active team this summer.
The first trade this summer was actually brought by the Thunder.
According to WOJ, the Thunder just made a deal with the Bulls, sending Josh Keady to the Bulls in exchange for Caruso.
Not many details of the deal have been revealed at this time, and what is known is that the deal does not involve any draft picks.
Because of the injury problem of the ball brother, the Bulls have been looking for a reliable playmaker for the past two years, and they want a guard who can handle the ball, can play, and prefer passing the ball to scoring.
Don't say it, at this point, Keady really fits the Bulls' requirements perfectly.
Back then, when the Thunder was not the first in the West and there were not so many excellent players on the team, Keady was once the core of the team.
At that time, there were all kinds of 3 double records......
It's a pity that when the Thunder rose, Keady was a bit of a chicken rib in the Thunder, and with a series of off-court problems in the middle of the season (suspected of having a relationship with underage girls), Keady became more and more unable to find his place in the Thunder.
Previously, the Thunder's post-game interview with the legion was like this 👇
Now it's like this 👇
Keady should have also discovered that the Thunder no longer had his place, and the world of six people was too crowded
Keady was drafted by the Thunder with the 6th pick in the first round in 2021 and is still in the rookie contract benefit period.
Keady played in 80 games this season, averaging 12.3 points, 5 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game.
Last season, he had 16.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists
In his rookie season, he had 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists
If you take a closer look at the Thunder's games in the past few seasons, you will find that Keady's tactical status in the Thunder has indeed declined a lot, after all, there are really too many young people who can play, hold the ball, and organize the Thunder now.
It is said that a team has made multiple first-round offers to the Bulls before, just wanting Caruso, but the Bulls refused.
But now he actually accepted the offer that there was no first round on the Thunder's side, 1 for 1.
It seems that the Bulls should also be quite optimistic about Keady!
Next, the Bulls should buy out Lonzo Ball, who has not been able to play for a long time, although the ball brother has said several times that he has undergone surgery and is recovering well, but the Wolves have come too many times, and no one believes him anymore.
You say, will Brother Qiu's career end here?
Although there is not much involved in this transaction, it should be a positive reinforcement for both parties to the transaction, and they both got what they wanted.
For the Thunder, who are in the championship period, a guard who has championship experience, is a little old, and has a good defense is also what they need.
If you think about it, wouldn't it seem very reassuring to put Caruso off the bench and let him lead the second team as the sixth man?!
If you look at the data alone, then Caruso is definitely not as good as Keady.
But for the Thunder at this stage, Caruso may really be more suitable for the Thunder than Keady, and it is difficult to say that he can become a piece of the championship puzzle.
Caruso and Thunder coach Mark Dagneault still have a bit of a relationship.
After losing the 2016 Caruso draft, he struggled in the G League, when the Oklahoma City Blues were the first team to throw an olive branch to Caruso, and Mark Dagneareult was the coach of the Blue team at the time.

It's the hair that may ......
