The family is rich enough, no less than an All-Star! The Thunder knew that Guidi could succeed, but they still wanted to make a loss-making deal.

Basketball

Last summer, the Thunder and Bulls made a 1-for-1 trade: Josh Gidi ↔ Caruso. Judging from the results, this deal is a good deal. The Bulls exchanged a golden supporting role for a team core, and the Thunder exchanged a potential All-Star for a championship. But at the time, it seemed that the Thunder's deal was a loss.

On November 20, US reporter K.C. Johnson reported that Gidi has shown All-Star potential after playing a role that is more suitable for him in the Bulls.

He said: "I can tell you that during the conversation about the trade between Gidi and Caruso, someone told me that the Thunder also believed that Gidi would become an All-Star player at some stage in his career."

So far in the new season, Gidi has averaged 21.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 1 steal per game. The Bulls have a record of 7 wins and 6 losses, temporarily ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference.

Peter believes that the Thunder is the richest team in the league today. The team has the youngest championship cores such as Alexander (27 years old), Jaylen Williams (24 years old), Chet Holmgren (23 years old), etc. At the same time, the main role players are also the younger generation, such as Mitchell, Aaron Wiggins, Wallace, Isaiah Joe and others.

In addition, there are 11 first-round picks from 2026 to 2030, including the Clippers' 2026 first-round pick (included with the Paul George trade). The Clippers' record trend is obviously to help the Thunder get another No. 1 pick.

So, Thunder general manager Presti is simply a god, and sending Gidi away is just a waste of time. With the Thunder’s reserve resources, talent replacement is reasonable. If the management is not stupid, the Thunder can dominate the league for at least 10-15 years~
