Bamba plus for Caruso, make it happen rob.
Somewhat salary match with the Bald Eagle. Just sayin
Obsessed with being vucevic backup
Woah given our draft and intent to pursue Caruso, does that mean Dlo is gone?
Welcome back, AC!
Give us back AC
Yeah if this happens with Caruso coming back Dlo might be out with hopefully a S&T which is hard.
If Reeves is our starting Point, Levine might make more sense than Caruso.
Unless Bamba has said to trade him (a la Bryant), why would the Lakers basically ship off the only true Center on the roster.
If we turn Bamba in AC I will hang up a Pelinka banner in front of my house.
AC + AR PROPHECY
Caruso for mo bamba???????
I’m guessing dennis is gone if it’s a S&T right ? I mean DLo, reaves, perhaps Christie and caruso as our guards with the rookies getting time between
Oh yes
We still will need another backup big, but Bamba and Beasley have tradable contracts.
A Caruso and Reaves back court?
Hank Hill voice: “His will be done”
Trading Bamba for Caruso makes sense. We need a guy who can guard 2/3. We gotta remember if we keep Bamba or trade for Caruso here, we start flirting with that first apron at 172m.
Depending on what Russell and Rui end up costing, we could still have the TPMLE of 5ish million. Or if they come in a few million cheaper, we could actually still have the full MLE but money would get wild tight, really fast lol lots of moving parts.
Pretty sure decisions on Bamba/Beasley options have to be made by 6/29, so we’ll know very soon.
Dlo/Reaves/Caruso/Fino is a solid guard rotation
Bamba and DLo for Derozan and Coby White?
Lavine and a FRP for Bamba, done. /s
maybe they’re tryina swing Bamba for Patrick Williams, or Bamba/Beasley/Vando for Zach Lavine. It depends on if Chicago wants Bamba, didn’t really see much from him after his injury so it’s hard for me to tell but he strikes me as a less effective Vooch.
Does he though? What’s the source on this and what would they send? AC is going to require a pick. I only see this if the Bulls are saying fuck it and resetting.
Bamba for Caruso

Just a reminder for everyone, Caruso is one of the best guard defenders, a smart player, and a really clutch player. He is on a very friendly contract, and just last year, the Bulls wanted two FRPs for AC. He’s not just getting traded for a back up big that didn’t even crack our rotation last post season.
CARUSOOOO
I know DeMar is old and has no defense but he is a bucket getter, so what can we realistically offer for him? I feel he’s easier to trade than Caruso. For a 1-yr gamble would D’Lo + Christie/pick work?
S&T DLo+Bamba+Draft pick for Lavine, and something.
dear god if you’re real, all i ask for is a Reaves/Caruso backcourt in a Lakers uniform.
Thomas Bryant wanted out too 🤣😂
Oh bamba actually can play? I thought he was just a bench warmer who had a cool name
Nope
Leaves us a hole at backup 5 and Bamba alone isnt enough to get Caruso. Probably would need Hood included but then thats an overpay.
Id do:
LAL out: Bamba, Beasley, Hood
LAL in: Caruso, Olynyk
Utah out: Olynyk, 2 2nd rounders from Utah
Utah in: Beasley, Hood
Chi out: Caruso
Chi in: Bamba, 2 2nd rounders from Utah
Most useless player on our roster this year wants a trade ![img](emote|t5_2qhv6|2647)
Idk why y’all think Caruso is a need for this team
Honey wake up, new caruso rumor just dropped
Hillbilly Kobe Hair Jordan Lebron Xiames and ADisney a championship team tbh
I want AC back SOOO bad..but it’s unrealistic they would just give us the big penguin back 😔
What sort of trade works financially and makes sense for both teams, though? I know LAL fans want Caruso, but I don’t think it works financially straight up and I also doubt CHI would part with Caruso for Bamba alone.
At this point I can’t tell if bamba’s even real or a fever dream with a soundtrack.
![gif](giphy|ziOVJBPWdKv2r6Io7j)
But do the bulls want Bamba.?
You guys are delusional if you think the Bulls will trade us AC for Bamba.
Bring daddy Caruso home
Give us AC and we have a deal
