They've turned down offers like that for Caruso in the past. With the hit Giddey's rep has taken this postseason...I can't believe Presti pulled this off. Seems cheap to me, but maybe that's just me undervaluing Giddey a bit. I do agree (in theory) that he'll be better off with the ball in his hands.
When I proposed getting Caruso, I was told he wasn't available, or his price was 2 firsts and then some. But no, he was very available. And not even a single first was needed.
It was just a matter of finding the right offer. Sadly, OKC beat them to the punch. But I still think he could have been had by the Mavs.
