Don’t discount 1 of teams from Texas making a run at Caruso I can definitely see him walking at that point because he would play in his hometown, but hopefully he does stay the dude is very exciting player to watch.

Caruso will be a Laker for at least as long as Lebron is one.

Work on your ball handling and shooting AC, we need you next year.

He has it good here in LA.. the fans, and his fit with Bron. But this is his time to make his biggest paycheck. If he can make 10-15 more million somewhere else... he has to strongly consider it

Yeah I thought about that, too. But I’ll have none of this bringing up facts, IG!

What's the most you guys give Caruso? Monte Morris signed a 3 year/$27M extension with the Nuggets last year, as a high level comparable.

18M/3 years and get it done
Keep working on that 3 ball.

One of the best defenders in the league.

Need to keep him.


THT should take Dennis role. And then we need to find a 3 point shooting smaller guard who defend 1s in the NBA via trade (Kuzma) or FA.

Never has been a good passer. Once he makes one bad turnover, 2 or 3 more seem to follow. He needs desperate work on his passing, which is clearly the worst part of his game. Next, I'd encourage him to work on shooting on the move, such as turn around, runners, and fallaway shots. Next, shoot mid-range game shots.

Another overrated player by this fan base.

AC could never do what Terance Mann did last night.

Never.

Its hilarious how some fans want to crucify Kuz for making 13 million being a "hustle guy".

Well what the hell do you think Caruso is and some of you want to pay him the same or close to the same amount?

Lakers need to get some REAL guards on this team.

Guards who can actually shoot, create their own shot and run an offense.

Alex cant do any of those things.

Like DS, we can go above cap with AC. You want an elite guard which none of us would oppose to get but what can KCP/Kuz/#22 get us? Lowry if he force a S&T to us can do $25m for 2 or 3 years (team option). Hield been talked about, CJ McCollum salary match too. We'll see, my guess is that we keep all assets (DS, AC, THT, #22) and make move after

They need to do something because in comparison to the contending teams around the league, our collection of guards are a joke.

They either have lack of skill, lack of heart, or lack of b-ball IQ or all of the above.

We have a lack of salary cap.

And if they’re as bad as you say they are why are teams trading for them?

T.Mann and PG13 were also on 2020 Clips squad that choked a 3-1 lead so I'm hoping this year Lakers squad sucked against the Suns because of injuries and can bounce back like them. I'd keep them at least as asset and try not to overreact
