If they wanna blow up I think they definitely would without Caruso. With Caruso it honestly tips the value enough that Iโm not sure they would
HarryGoldstein
How would this result in +12 wins for us?
Who would do all the “pLaYmAkInG” with Russ gone?
BLM_MCU
Those picks would be protected without being protected
PlaybolCarti69
No easily lmao
AgentScarn7
I think there is zero chance Chicago does this. They can get a better return than an expiring contract and 2 firsts. It would be a perfect trade for us though.

Ainโt no way in hell my team would do that shit wtf
JeffFoxworthySux
Theyโd probably laugh us off the phone
deion_snaders
I’m not giving up those picks for those players. Need better players.
In general the Lakers should not trade to get back players they recently traded.

Itโs crazy how laker FO wouldnโt do 9m/3yr for AC

Minus Caruso this is a fair deal for both. Iโd then do Nunn for reddish
AD/Bron/Demar/lonnie/Bev

They hang up. 0% chance the bulls say yes to this.

AC is the perfect role player and is on a team friendly contract. If theyโre blowing it up to build around Lavine, heโs probably staying there. Theyโll probably get some better assets for DeMar unfortunately.

No. They could get more value trading pieces separately for a greater overall haul most likely. Also we again have zero leverage
ngh7b9
No, have to make those both unprotected.

I think Caruso throws it out of balance, theyโd probably be able to get a pick for him alone from a contender.
Vooch I donโt think has much value, seems like his stock around the league has gone down, and heโs on an expiring deal. So itโs basically two picks for DeMar which seems reasonable, considering his age and the fact that he only has 1.5 years left on his deal. We can probably throw some light protections too, Top 3 or somethingโฆ

DeMar I see this trade DeLess I like it

Why would they give us two starters a star for two picks? I would love it if they did. I just donโt see the benefit for the bulls.
ILackPatience
Delusional as ever
Ok_Mountain_4638
We giving too much. Make the first protected and have them take Bev
asher1507
Would Jeanie do it? Thatโs $30 mil since weโre in luxury tax. Did she pay Caruso $30m? No
isit65outsideor
Lakers say no to this
Street_Organization2
This is idiotic
Mikimao
Why would they do this
XxNoKnifexX
Maybe. Itโs a rebuild in a can. I think they would be way quicker to get off LaVine since he isnโt an expiring. Itโs unlikely tho.
JilJungJukk
We canโt apply protections on our picks, cos if they donโt convey we have to give further future picks(unlikely theyโll be okay with second round picks) which canโt do rn after 2029.

Please do this
TestoBull
Never
MITWestbrook
Chicago would do it. They need to rebuild. Easy trade.
Lakers say no. Both are bums too
blacPanther55
Takeoff either Vuc or Caruso and then maybe.
niknokseyer
The Bulls wouldn’t.
blacPanther55
Throw in Lonnie Walker and Damian Jones and 2 seconds
