I don't think he's available but I've been on that train as well for a while

I love me some Caruso, but defense is not where we need to improve.

Nobody would be ready for that.

How are you going to get him? He isn't free agent. Bulls asked for multiple first round picks for him month ago.

Multiple?

He’s expiring after this season. I’d trade our late first for him.

Nop. He is free agent after 2024-25
He only has partially guaranteed deal that will become fully guaranteed on 06/30/2024.

But that doesn't make him free agent nor you can get him without trading with Bulls.

Alex Caruso would mark a dream outcome for the Bucks, but Chicago has indicated the Bulls would need multiple first-round picks to even consider parting with Caruso, according to league sources, if Chicago even truly considers moving him at all

Caruso would be a great fit here.

He's a 40% shooter and solid overall PG. He helps a lot and keeps our defensive identity

And Caruso now missed a wide open 3 for a lead with minute to go in OT.

and it doesn't prohibit us from getting a scoring guard too

It never ceases to amaze me how many defense fetishists are on this board. Defense hasn't been an issue with this team for a decade, but our offense in the same time has struggled to break out of the bottom 5.

Simple question: Why da f*** Bulls suited up starters for this game in first place?

Facts because Caruso & Suggs is completely redundant. Why not get a guard who can actually play PG and set teammates up and shoot off the dribble?

Defense was terrible in the Vuc years, other than the one full season from Isaac.

And defense is the only reason we were good this season. Why not get even better at it, while also adding a good shooter and good IQ guard...

Its the people that want Trae that I question. How defense would go from one of the best to middle of the road. The rest of the team would have to work so hard just to cover him.

You could tell that Orlando really wanted this. We actually went 18/19 on free throws. So proud of them!!!

I don't think Fultz played in the second half. The first half was the worst I've ever seen him. He didn't know what to do on offense or defense

What made it worse was not only was he shook, but the Bucks were blitzing him on defense and getting turnovers outta it
