On the latest episode of the Wave Sports P Podcast, Chet Holmgren shared his honest feelings about the unexpected loss of Josh Giddey this offseason.
“I was really hurt when I saw that Giddey wasn’t going to be on our team with him, we’re all in good shape with him, he’s our dog, he always is,” Holmgren said. “He’s going to do great things in Chicago. We’re excited for him.”
While the OKC Thunder lost a playmaker in Giddey, they gained a great defensive specialist in Alex Caruso. In Holmgren’s eyes, Caruso represents everything that defines a winning player.
“We’re also excited to have AC on our team now,” Holmgren said. “He’s a great defender, he makes shots, he always makes winning plays, the right plays. He’s the kind of guy you want to play with. The guy you know he’s going to go out there and everything he does is in the right spirit of what you want to do. It’s going to be fun to play with him.”
The combination of Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstein in OKC will be a phenomenal addition to the team. The Oklahoma City Thunder were already a top seed last season, but they are about to get even better next season.
