PER doesn't measure what guys like caruso bring to the table. namely defense

We over paid but thats okay because we really need toughness on the defensive end. Caruso has a high motor and is an NBA champion.

I have no idea why the Lakers did not outbid us. What is money to them? Crazy!

Wow, I absolute LOVE Caruso. Between Theis and Caruso, AK has been a dream GM for me.

I would have given the MLE to Theis instead…

All kidding aside: I like this guy a lot.

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

Caruso was UFA and Horton-Tucker RFA. I think they are anticipating a match on a large offer for THT and they still have to fill in the roster with ring chasers.

I’m still shocked AKME went full MLE on Caruso. As others have said, he’s grimey and all-effort and we haven’t had someone like that in a long time. Tbh, Chicago fans are gonna love him

Wow. Looks like we chose Caruso over Theis. Not sure about that. Will have to see what more AKME have up their sleeves.

Same. However, our backcourt defense is top notch now, but we do need some front court help.

Not mad at all about losing theis

Was never as sold on him as others were. He not a starter imo

ILis a rec legal state, not going to have to worry about him being arrested for weed possession. UNless he decides to pull a Sam Hurd or something.

It's a good move

His defense is very good

Our frontcourt looks lightweight though

We are going to be deep in the back court. Not so much up front. Makes me think Billy D. is going to be going back to his 3 guard play book from the Thunder. I think Lonzo will be more of a SF for us most of the time.
