Philadelphia 76ers should target Alex Caruso in a trade

If that does happen, then guard Alex Caruso should be on the Sixers’ radar. Caruso began his career in the G-League and turned himself into an NBA champion rotation player as a 3-and-D guard. He’s one of the better ones in the league at that position.

Caruso won’t give the 76ers much playmaking or volume scoring, but he’s a professional pest just like former Philly guard T.J. McConnell and unlike McConnell, he can shoot the outside shot. This season, he’s averaged 5.3 points and 1.6 steals, while shooting 37.3 percent on 3-pointers.

If he becomes available, the 76ers could offer an interesting package for the guard.

Bulls Get

G/F, Furkan Korkmaz

G/F, Matisse Thybulle

2027 second round pick

The Sixers get to upgrade their bench in this hypothetical trade. While Shake Milton has played well this year, Caruso makes the 76ers second unit even better. It would open up another roster spot to add a free agent or more room for another trade.

The Bulls get Matisse Thybulle, who is a player they were rumored to be interested in the offseason. They will value Thybulle more than other teams based on that fact in this fake deal. They also get a young sharpshooter in Furkan Korkmaz which they desperately need. Getting a second round pick is also another bonus.
