Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls had a lackluster outing last year. Having finished 11th, they failed to qualify for the playoffs. Someone like LaVine, who will want his ability to deliver the outputs, would’ve been mightily disappointed last season. This year, however, he has new support. Veteran Laker Alex Caruso has joined the Bulls, and will team up with the 26-year-old. After half a decade with LeBron James and the Lakers, he will have a new environment.

In the off-season, the LA Lakers decided to offload the seasoned campaigner in Caruso. The move was a shocking one and was met with mixed reactions. Many people believed that the former NBA winner had sealed his place with Los Angeles. Caruso had a fairly good run and managed great link-ups with the side’s senior players. On the contrary, he had to make way for new players.
The move saw Caruso switching to the Chicago Bulls, who are in desperate need of star power. They required a potent guard and may have just found their man. The man from Texas has gained loads of experience in his time with the yellow brigade. Though officially undisclosed, he has reportedly signed a four-year deal worth $37 million. The extravagant player seems to be excited ahead of the new season, and will now need to link-up with someone new.
