After you do a trade like that, the rest of the league knows how to treat you.all these things are egregious, but NOT getting any picks back in the caruso deal is a fireable offense IMO. everyone in the NBA knows OKC has more picks than they can even accommodate on the roster and we still didn't get shyt back.
You take back Giddey with 1 year left for your best trade chip and don't get a pick back? Now every other GM knows they can play hardball with you in negotiations and win.
Case in point, this Vuc shyt. Bulls were demanding a 1st for him and I'm sure they were laughed at. I'm sure they were like, you didn't get any picks back for DeMar, LaVine or Caruso, we not giving you a 1st for Vuc. Should have just traded him to Golden State for whatever they were offering before the deadline.
Warriors also really wanted Lonzo before Chicago shipped him to Cleveland for Okoro. Just incompetent
