One early trade candidate has been Alex Caruso. What would you say will be market value for AC? (alien.top)

If AC is moved, what do you think the package for him will look like? Matching salary + 2 FRPs? Young player and seconds?

It won’t make sense for the bulls to get a return comprised of players w/ present value so any trade will be some combination of young players / 1sts / 2nds

There’s also the scenario where Bulls mgmt just decides to hold again through the deadline

He would fit great on the bucks

[–] 3nnui@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I love Caruso, but he's an often injured specialist. This is the same level of delusion Detroit had regarding Bogie's value.

I'm quite certain the market price for this type of player has been firmly established: 5 second round picks

[–] TrotLaRoc@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He should be starting on the Bulls but Donovan is an idiot. He isnt a big scorer, his shot is streaky sure but he is a great connective passers, can hit an open 3 and is capable of scoring 10-12 regularly.

Defensively he is top 5 for guards and can credibly guard 1-3 and some smaller 4s in spurts. Dude is a chaos agents who can rack up steals without gambling, this is corny but he can QB a defense and call out plays.

Super fair contract too....some injury concerns but no knee/back issues. Can get ticky tack injuries bc he goes so hard

I think 2 firsts is a reach.....id say 1 FRP and a young non blue chip prospect is fair.

Seconds only isnt enough, he is not a zero on offense

[–] WanAjin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I would give anything for him

[–] Sixers14@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

A protected 1st or a solid role role player and multiple 2nd rounds, the GM trade 2 1st for a 7/3/3 player should be fired imediatelly

[–] Bonesawisready5@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I would love him on spurs second half of season with Wemby and Devin to run an offense. I’d give like 3 second rounders and Wesley, doubt bulls want that and can get more from a contender maybe

where Bulls mgmt just decide to hold again through he deadline

This is exactly what will happen. Thread getting worked up over 2 first rounds is pointless lol.

[–] deepthr0at@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Problem with Caruso has always been durability, he would be on a roll and then gets a 2-3 week injury then a few weeks to ramp back up until the cycle continues.

One unprotected first

[–] 1Grazel@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

2 FRPs is absolute insanity lol

[–] Zeeron1@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Is this where the Thunder finally open up their treasure chest? /s

[–] Overall-Palpitation6@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

2 FRPs plus a player? Please.

He's valueable in some respects, but not that valueable.

[–] TrafficOn405@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Warrior are interested

[–] dawnoog@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Regrettably other teams have more to offer than the Lakers, but we’ll take him!!!

[–] Fun_Location4905@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Pritchard and a first for AC. Who says no?

[–] Buttholes4Everyone@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Little to zero.

[–] sukari@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hands off 😂

[–] JerosBWI@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The Mavs might consider Jaden Hardy + 2nd round pick, maybe.

Alternatively, THJ, and the Bulls add something to match the money
