The Bulls had themselves quite an offseason, virtually changing their entire roster. The Bulls made a number of deals which included picking up Lonzo Ball, DeMar DeRozan, and of course, Alex Caruso.
The Bulls brought in the former Lakers guard/forward for his defensive versatility and playmaking ability. That playmaking was definitely on display in Los Angeles when Caruso and LeBron would run the Lakeshow leading to some exciting highlights.

Chicago has their own high flier in Zach Lavine, also their best player and the franchise cornerstone for now, and Caruso is hoping he’ll develop a good relationship with him too.

Caruso also spoke up about he’ll miss playing with LeBron James, but he also wants to make sure that him and Zach Lavine get on the same page early.
Alex Caruso: “As far as playing with LeBron, I’ll never take that for granted, how much he does for his teammates. I’ll miss throwing him lobs – hopefully me and Zach can get on that same page.”
