Which player is the biggest surprise for the Lakers? You might think it’s Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo, and Morris, but if I choose, I will undoubtedly choose Caruso. This player also faced no goal last season. At the point of playing, but in this year's playoffs, he won the trust of Vogel's coach and became the Lakers on both ends of the playoffs. Z1z
US media LAKESHOWLIFE said: Many teams want to get Caruso through a trade, and the Rockets have expressed strong interest.
Caruso has played his worth in just one season. He is the defensive core of the Lakers' perimeter. He has performed very well in the playoffs. He can always play his role at critical moments. Caruso's reputation is also very high. In this year's All-Star vote, Caruso is also ranked high. It can be seen that Caruso's reputation and strength have greatly increased after the end of the 19-20 season.
Caruso was able to score 6.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.1 steals in the playoffs. Although the data is not very good, his role is even comparable to Pope and Green. Who can not love such a player? And his current salary is only US$2.75 million a year. Although he seems to have less hair, he is now only 26 years old. He is gradually entering his prime and has not yet reached his peak. Many teams are eager to get him. As expected.
It is reported that the Rockets are very eager to get Caruso the player, they think Caruso can perfectly serve as Harden and Westbrook backup role. Now that the Rockets want to pursue Caruso with all their strength, they will definitely give the Lakers a bargaining chip. Now the US media "NBA Rumors" has proposed a trading plan: the Rockets can exchange Covington for the Lakers' Kuzma and Caruso +28. In fact, overall the feasibility of this trading plan is still great. , After all, the strength and the chips are more matched. What kind of player is
Covington? He is now one of the few top 3D players in the league. His three-point ability and defensive ability are among the top players in the league. There are not many players like this now. Throughout the league, only Klay Thompson has the ability in Covington. Above, it's okay if you have to count George. Covington and James’ play styles are extremely compatible. If you pay Caruso and Kuzma to get Covington, I believe Jenny Buss and Pelinka are very willing. After all, Covington’s performance in the playoffs this year This is posing.
The Lakers may be stronger next season. They are very likely to reinforce this year's offseason. If they can sign high-ability players with low salaries, the championship next year will be steady!
