KEY POINTS

  • Alex Caruso has been a Los Angeles Lakers fan-favorite
  • Teams are reportedly interested in the third-year guard
  • The LA Lakers are currently in first place in the Western Conference

The NBA is now on their toes with the latest talk regarding potential trades. Teams are now looking at the possibilities of moving their pieces for a stronger roster. With the 4-team trade involving the Atlanta Hawks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets leading the news, it’ll only be a matter of time before another big update comes to our feeds.

One rumor being speculated is that LA Lakers fan-favorite Alex Caruso has been eyed by the league. According to senior NBA insider Chris Baynes, multiple teams have inquired about the availability of third-year guard. He has garnered interest from the league with the energy he brings on the court.

Ian Bagley of SNY reported on the potential Kyle Kuzma trade with the New York Knicks. Alex Caruso’s name was included in the mix of players that could have been part of the deal.

Alex Caruso was also rumored to be involved in trade negotiations with the Detroit Pistons. The Detroit Pistons have had Derrick Rose as a valuable asset with his career revival. The Lakers were offered the former MVP but the deal did not come into fruition.

The Lakers are currently the best team in the Western Conference with a 38-11 win-loss standing. This has been their best performance in a while and they are aiming for a deep playoff run and hopefully a championship. Their chemistry has improved and they have been working as a cohesive unit. This is evident in how much the team has respect for one another and especially for Alex Caruso. Lebron James is one of the players hyped by the Carushow, already casually calling him GOAT.

Lebron James as the leader of the team has shared on record that their squad has enough to win it all. With everything that the Lakers have gone through this season, the team is determined to win the championship. With the trade deadline approaching, the league will have to wait if the fan-favorite Alex Caruso will be among the Lakers in their playoff run.
