Caruso will be key vs. the Heat. Look for him to cause Robinson and Herro to struggle some. I hope. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

With how much Dragic usually gives us, having Alex smother him would be a good approach. |

I've decided. Ima get a Carsuo jersey. Just have to decide if I want a "real" one... or if I want one that says Bald Mamba. Or Bald Eagle. Or something else. _________________ "We got a new universe coming and he's going to control all our universes. We're going to put our universes together" - Metta World Peace |

Wall Street Journal posted an article about how AC is statistically the best teammate LBJ has ever had. Obviously I don't believe it on a practical level but it would be interesting to review their points.
Can anybody with a subscription post a synopsis if they don't feel comfortable posting the article? _________________ Luxury Tax/FA Spreadsheet (Save to your Google Drive to edit) |

Caruso making things happen tonight. His first half was stellar and didn't get back into the game until it was a laugher. |

This guy is so underrated. He’s the perfect piece to a championship team. Rarely makes mistakes, an excellent defensive player, can finish at the rim, hit his 3s and makes a ton of hustle plays. |

His hands are so quick. The amount of times he swipes violently at a ball to block it or cause a steal AND doesn't get blown for a whistle really surprises me. It's like he never misses the ball |

Did we try to trade Alex Caruso for Derek Rose ? |

He ahs been so key with AB not playing in the bubble. Low usage player, can set others up, and also cuts well to the cup for the chippies. Throw in that good D, and he is a key role-player for us, arguably one of our 7-8 best players every night. Man, if he could learn to be a good perimeter shooter... _________________ LAKERS 2019-2020: NBA World Champions! |

Not without a more reliable jumper. Since AD likes to get run next to one of the centers in the starting unit, it's better to have floor spacers around them and then bring AC off the bench in lineups with one big. _________________ Under New Management |

Agree 100%, he's the perfect off the bench energy guy that provides a bit more then that. He's still extremely suspect from the perimeter but the potential is without question there to be at least an average outside shooter. He's shooting just under 27% for this postseason from 3 and that includes his 2-4 night in game 2.
He gets that going and he's one of the best role players in the entire NBA imo. As we all know he is good/great at just about everything else. |

I'm gonna be so bummed if AC gets traded, though I have a lot of faith in the FO to make smart moves. He's such fun to watch as a fan. |

Unless he's part of a bigger trade to get a legit 3rd scorer I see no way the fo trades him as his importance to the team is worth drastically more then whatever his actual trade value is imo. |
