  1. I love Ruso and would do everything to back him here in LA, but 2 firsts come man

    How high the price will be for Lavine/Demar so?

    We’re fucked up, our chances to get another valuable pieces are pretty inexistent.

    Fuck Rudy and his haul. Ruined market till next season

  3. However, it’s almost clear to everybody Chicago is the first one dismantling his team rn.

    Probably no OG/Gary from Toronto, but we still can haunt the Bulls to make a trade

    Lavine, AC, Demar, Vuc? They won’t trade Ajo, who’s left there?

  7. I love Caruso. You get the feeling that he’s going to be a winning contributor for much of his career. That being said…

    I know the Gobert trade inflated the market but this is ridiculous. Teams are setting expectations way too high and gridlocking trades.

  10. I blame the timberwolves for shit like this, this is the consequence of giving up 4 firsts for a slightly above average player

  12. What the fuck.

    First the suns want a first round pick or good young player for Jae Crowder, now the bulls wants 2 1FRP FOR AN INTANGIBLE guy???

    I lowkey don’t blame rob now for waiting it out lol

  15. I’ve been saying we need to take on Lonzo’s contract to trade for LaVine. But his value might be low enough that if 2 picks + Russ can get him, maybe taking on Lonzo’s contract+ maybe a 2nd rounder is enough for Caruso

    You can swap out Lonnie for Bev, maybe it would depend who Chicago prefers and how much Lakers want to take back

  20. Just rumblings. Caruso hasn’t really elevated his game since signing that big contract with the Bulls.

  21. LMAO the Gobert trade fucked up the market so much. I can’t wait for this deadline to pass so the market stabilizes again

  22. Teams are calling and asking what it would take to get him and they’re being told a price that everyone involved knows they won’t pay because the Bulls don’t really wanna trade him.

  23. The wording of the report is really terrible, but I think that the report means that the Bulls are looking for 2 FRPs, and that the trade ideally involves Caruso + others in it.

  24. The sub collectively complains that pelinka doesn’t make a trade while simultaneously outraged about how bad all the trade asking prices are.

  33. It just means Caruso is tradable for the right price but they are in no rush to get rid if him.

  34. Honestly impressed an undrafted talent worked his ass off to be valued for TWO first round picks. Baller status.

  36. This shit keeps getting stupider and stupider. Imagine publishing lies for months in the hope of getting 1 piece of true information 5 minutes before everyone else. The job of NBA ‘insider’ is pathetic.

  39. This would be such a lakers move. Let him walk for free then bring him back for two firsts.

  41. If I was a team with a shitload of picks, and “FRP” could mean one that likely falls in the 24-30 range, then yea… I’d definitely trade one of them and several SRPs for Caruso. You might convince me to give you two. But I’d have to be a contender, and the picks would have to be late… there’s a minimal number of teams that check the box here.

  42. this is way too much, but its our caruso, so my heart is like ‘fuck them picks’. not my brain, but my heart
