Alex Caruso is ‘safe bet’ to stay with Chicago Bulls this offseason

Despite the Chicago Bulls’ uncertain future, Alex Caruso should be a “safe bet” to stay with the team through this offseason.

This offseason will be a crucial one for the Chicago Bulls. After making trading for Nikola Vucevic at the 2021 NBA Trade deadline and signing DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Alex Caruso that following summer, they’ve failed to meet expectations. A hot start helped them break their postseason drought in 2022, but this past year, they once again missed the playoffs.

Now, the front office will have to decide whether to keep the current core together or break things up and start fresh. All signals from the front office point toward the former, but only time will tell what Chicago decides to do. However, according to KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, Caruso will probably stick around.

In a recent article, Johnson broke down Chicago’s potential offseason plans. When the topic of Caruso’s future with the Bulls came up, he pointed toward this past trade deadline as an indicator of his potential availability.
