The team rebuilds every season, some of them are forced to do so, and some of them are proactive and changeable. In the case of Harden, he was reluctant to stay at the end of the Rockets and ultimately opted to be traded to the Nets, which forced the Rockets to rebuild. However, now that the Rockets are on their way to a bright future, they have the cornerstone of building the team and are on the right track. The Thunder had a similar experience, originally having a dual-core lineup of Wei Shao and George, but eventually had to face George's departure and was forced to rebuild. However, the rebuilt Thunder have shown more hope as they have a more reasonable roster, young and dynamic. There are also teams that look good but don't get the results they want, so the management loses patience and is ready to do a substantial rebuild.
This season's Jazz fall into that category, as they remained somewhat competitive last season. Of course, the most notable is the Bulls. The Bulls have three superstars, LaVine, DeRozan and Vucevic, but they are in trouble. They have won just six of their 20 games this season, a win rate of just 30 per cent. For the Bulls this season, the rebuild is no longer a secret, and fans are waiting for the Bulls to start unleashing resources on the team and preparing those quality players. So the question is, who are the high-quality assets on the Bulls?One might think that key players such as LaVine, DeRozan and Vucevic would be rewarded heavily. But in reality, we can analyze them one by one.
First of all, LaVine, who is not only injured frequently, but also a player who relies on his style of play, coupled with a huge contract. Not to mention Vucevic, who doesn't have much value these days, despite his average per game. As for DeRozan, due to his age, he has entered a downward period of his career, and the state of averaging 20+ points per game is difficult to last for many seasons. In fact, the most attractive asset should be the role player Caruso, who is arguably the most valuable player on the Bulls. Why?Although this season, Caruso averages only 98 points 34 rebounds and 24 assists and 53 shooting percentages7% and 47 percent from three-point range5%, but Caruso's value isn't just in the numbers.
In fact, Caruso is a top-tier three-point and defensive player, and no one can deny that. Caruso showed a true tough-guy temperament against the Bucks, leading the remnants of the Bulls to victory. It is no exaggeration to say that Caruso today has extremely high trading value. Players like him are highly sought after across the league and can make a huge difference no matter which team they join. It was undoubtedly a serious mistake for the Lakers to let go of Caruso, and they let go of Caruso and signed Tucker instead, but in the end, Tucker was also traded. Now, any league team that wants to get Caruso has to pay at least two first-round picks. For Caruso, his value goes without saying, as long as he is on the court, he can surprise the fans.
For the Bulls, the addition of Caruso will bring them more rebuilding capital. The only doubt now is which team Caruso will eventually join. If it's a title contender, then they're going to be even more perfect.
