For the first time in three years, Arturas Karnisovas has traded a player. But was it a good trade? The snap judgment is no, as trading Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey straight-up with no picks involved is a bad value play. One silver lining?

Cash Considerations is back to talk about another Chicago Bulls disappointment. Jason and Ricky rant after the Bulls' ugly 108-95 loss to a shorthanded Pacers team, which dropped Chicago to 2-5 on the season. The Bulls are stacking up bad losses to begin the 2019-20 campaign, and there are plenty of people to blame, from supposed star players Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen to head coach Jim Boylen. One saving grace of this awful start has been the play of Wendell Carter Jr., who needs to be even more unselfish on the offensive end as he continues to develop.
