[Anderson] Alex Caruso on TNT, when asked about defending a star player and if he prefers a jumper or drive, “Depends how your team is built too, I played in Chicago and the last couple years we didn’t have the best rim protection like I did when I was in LA”

Suck it, Vooch
We let this guy walk for the reverse-layup superstar in THT. Rob Pelinka is a certified shitstain GM
Really let him walk away for THT 🤦🏽♂️
He should still be playing for us
I miss him
Is this the Alex Caruso who wanted to take less to play in LA? And we turned him away for the dumb bitch who after signing the deal in LA, showed up to summer league with a gym bag pretending like he was on Varsity watching JV, when he should have been playing in summer league. And Caruso went on to the Bulls and is consistently mentioned as being a great one on one defender who we could have used in Denver. That Alex Caruso?
If Chicago blows it up, trading pieces for Caruso and Drummond (or DeMar) wouldn’t be a bad idea
Caruso would’ve locked Jamal up in jail.
Come back home
come back home baby boy
Caruso coming back confirmed
ROB PELINKA IS A TERROIST
dude about the same height as Draymond that’s crazy. We need AC size man
I hope one day Caruso makes his way to us.
Bring him tf back!
I maintain that if AC stays on the Lakers, LA beats the Nuggets last year since Murray doesn’t go nuclear. Between losing AC/KCP, Pelinka is directly responsible for the Nuggets kicking Lakers ass. Considering, you know, KCP is on the team beating their ass now.
I miss the carushow 😔
One of our biggest mistakes letting this guy walk
caruso reaves bron ad 😭
Bald Eagle, man. Legend.
That 2022 offseason was the worst case of asset management in Lakers history.
– Letting Caruso walk even when he was willing to take a paycut. He was worth at least a draft pick. (1)
– Giving THT an 30+mil contract for 3 years when nobody was even bidding on this guy.
– Letting Schroder walk for nothing after you just traded Danny Green and a 1st rounder for him less than a year prior. Another draft pick down the drain (2).
– Trading KCP, Kuzma, and another draft pick for Brick. The players themselves would have likely been worth 1+ picks on their own (4+)
Then in the following season:
– Trading another draft pick just to dump Westbrook (5+)
– Trading THT and a 2nd rounder for Bev. Who you then let go.
The Lakers essentially shat away 5+ draft picks worth of value to get Russ and then dump him. What a disasterclass in asset management.
Move Vando for Caruso and Craig
A backcourt of AR and AC would have been so interesting to see
Reading Caruso and Ball talking about us makes me sad.
Our FO legitimately does not value role players, they’re so focused on stars they neglect everyone around them
IT HURTS GODDAMNIT
I remember buying his jersey during the summer because I was so sure he was going to be here a while. Now it hurts to put it on 😮💨
Caruso and KCP guarding the perimeter with AD in the paint was killer and the front office threw that away like it was nothing
We really let this dude go for some DJ Akademiks look alike.
Baby come back!!!
🫤😢 I miss him
