The frontcourt needs Taj Gibson.

Coby White is on the clock. Learn to be a better player or be known as an UNC disgrace in the house that Jordan built.

It’s a little weird that he’s the face of shaving your balls, but whatever

Watch on YouTube

if he's a threat to shave balls, maybe he was brought in to keep lavar at bay. surely they crossed paths in LA

So if this is a three team deal with the Lakers does that mean the Bulls still retain their MLE?

Theis being S&T makes me feel better about the Caruso signing.

Maybe we can do something with that TPE.

Not a huge fan of this move yet, but it depends on the other moves we make. This team won’t have much left of the previous administration once this offseason is over with lol

We need to, because we don't really have a PF on the roster or a front-court defender.

Evidently so.

That would be a major plus.

Probably save it for mid season.

I hope we have a trade lined up so that we don't help Lakers out, but realistically we sign and trade Caruso into that and maintain a full MLE

Best comment I've read on this.

No one cares when Curaso and Ball form a super team but when Lebron does it every one loses their minds

Keeping the full MLE would be great for the Bulls. I like the fact that we are being aggressive.

Bulls could sign Caruso and then still have the full MLE to spend elsewhere if you read the comment above.

Caruso can ru n the break well too. With Zach, AC, Ball and Williams the breaks could be fun. Caruso is a sneaky good dunker honestly. He is a super solid player, nothing sexy about him but he is a huge talent upgrade. He knows how to play. He is going to be the new Nocioni of this team IMHO. Kinda shocked the Lakers let him go honestly. He isn't some huge steal but he fit that team well.

I don't think this effects Coby that much except he is granted PT now. The backcourt is setup to be able to withstand injuries now and still field a decent team.
