If Chicago does intend to start a complete teardown and makeover, then Bulls guard and defensive stalwart Alex Caruso could possibly net Chicago its greatest return of any player on the roster. The sense around NBA decision-makers is that Caruso’s contract — still with another season at just under $10 million for 2024-25, plus his malleability alongside most players — could generate a market that touches most of the league, championship contenders and inexperienced playoff hopefuls alike. The Bulls have already required multiple first-round picks for the 29-year-old veteran when opposing teams have asked about Caruso’s availability. If his number of suitors were to indeed match the breadth of teams that checked with Portland about landing Jrue Holiday this fall, it’s not unreasonable to expect Caruso to fetch the Bulls a similar price point of draft capital, as Holiday netted the Blazers both a 2024 and 2029 first-round pick.
Obviously I’m very biased in this, but if you’re truly in win-now mode and need a piece to give you the edge over other true contenders, Caruso can plug in to any team and give incredible defense for a very small salary hit. He can really be the difference maker in close games without requiring the ball. Multiple 1sts is a pretty greedy ask, but it’s not unreasonable to think some contender might be desperate and bold enough to do it
