The data cannot reflect his value. The Lakers gave up him was a failure, but they lost a lot.

124:94! The Thunder beat the Timberwolves by 30 points. The Timberwolves had no resistance. They were beaten by the Thunder in the first quarter, falling behind by as high as 17 points! In the second quarter, they were 16 points behind the Thunder! At this point, the Timberwolves no longer have resistance, and the team was already lagging behind by as much as 33 points at the end of the half! The second half of the game has lost its suspense! The series has ended, the Thunder advanced to the finals, and the Timberwolves fell to the Western Conference Finals again. They want to go further and must adjust the team's lineup next season!

The Thunder can. Easily winning the Timberwolves is inseparable from the team's main players! The three core members of the Thunder are Alexander, Jaylen Williams, and Chet Holmegren. They are the basic guarantees of the Thunder and determine the upper and lower limits of the Thunder! These three generals have fully proved themselves in this round of the series. Alexander has become the league's top superstar. He has won Grand Slam-like honors this season, Mvp, Western Conference Finals Mvp, the best team first team, the league's scoring champion, etc. These have fully demonstrated that he is the league's superstar!

And Jaylen Williams has also completed his transformation this season. He was selected for the league's best team and the best defensive team, and he also performed well in the playoffs! He is still getting a rookie contract now, but he has proven that he is a top player! Chelholm Green is still growing, but his strength is beyond doubt!

Although the Thunder's third young master is excellent, basketball is a sport of 5 people, and it is impossible for only 5 players to play in the whole game. The team wants to go further in the playoffs! The Thunder also needs good performance from final players. Sometimes the main players have already put their parts into their shoes, and the performance of role players determines the trend of the game! Among the Thunder’s role players, Caruso is the one who impressed the most and had the best strength! The general's defense is so impressive!

As one of the best defensive players in the league, Caruso is worthy of his name! He has top single defense capabilities, is everywhere on the court, and also has excellent assisted and supplementary defense capabilities! Look at the Western Conference Finals, he effectively restricted Edwards' performance, leaving him unable to find a chance to take action! At the same time, you can also steal the opponent many times on the court and force the opponent to stop! He has excellent awareness of defensive position selection and positioning. Key Caruso's three-pointers are also very good and his shooting percentage is also very high! This is the top 3D player!

Looking at such a defensive hero, the Lakers management actually gave up on him and was unwilling to give him an annual salary of $10 million! The Lakers can't afford to climb now and there is no chance! I have to say that the Lakers management was really stupid at that time. I would lose a lot if I gave up on him!
