What are you hoping to get in return? A player like Alex Caruso? Multiple players to make up what Caruso does? Draft picks that can hopefully turn into a Caruso? WE ALREADY HAVE A CARUSO AND AT A GREAT PRICE. And y’all keep wanting to give him up. Honestly what is the logic?
And please don’t let it be “hE dEsErVeS tO bE oN a CoNtEnDiNg TeAm”. That’s the most losing attitude answer possible and doesn’t make any sense. We’re supposed to be the contenders. Did you forget which team you’re a fan of? Cherry on top: the guy already has a ring. And his prowess lately only promotes his legacy in that regard. Showing how much of in impact towards winning he influences when he’s on a team.
You trade away diminishing assets, not assets that are clearly increasing in value and for THE SAME PRICE. He’s literally the best thing going on this team and the same group that whines about the Bulls not buckling down on player development are the first to whine about trading everyone away.
Imagine this. You’re a GM on any other team, trying to win. Hey, we could really use a guy like Caruso and on his contract. Let’s trade for him. He’s going to impact winning. Ok what can we trade for him? Ideally these pieces that we don’t consider to impact winning as much as him.
Now you’re back on the Bulls side. How would that be an improvement? You just gave away a winning piece for losing pieces.
