James Love will leave! Caruso leaves the Lakers to join the Bulls Bald Mamba will assist Ravenbauer

According to ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, Alex Caruso will leave the Los Angeles Lakers to sign with the Chicago Bulls.

Caruso reportedly struck a four-year, $37 million contract with the Bulls, which was quite lucrative. In the past two seasons, Caruso's annual salary with the Lakers has only been $2.7 million, and his income has increased significantly.

"Free agent guard Alex Caruso has agreed to a four-year, $37 million contract with the Chicago Bulls, his agent @Wasserman Greg Lawrence told ESPN.

After the Lakers acquired Russell Westbrook on a trade from the Washington Wizards, Caruso's departure seemed inevitable. With his expected salary increasing, the Lakers are unlikely to give him another big contract.

In four seasons in Los Angeles, Caruso averaged 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game and shot 43.6 percent from the field. While his stats aren't prominent, Caruso's defense and vibrancy are crucial for the Lakers.

Lakers fans love Caruso's hard work, and he has become the favorite player of Lakers fans.

Interestingly, Caruso will be reunited with his former teammate Ball on the Lakers. Previously, the Lakers just signed Ball on a four-year contract, and Caruso will go to the Bulls to play as a substitute.
