Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
In fact, the Bulls could use a player like Wiseman – or at least, what Wiseman could be in theory. In other words, they could use a rim-protecting big man.
Nikola Vucevic is an immensely talented offensive player, but he struggles in that area. When your last line of defense breaks down, it gets substantially harder to defend.
Of course, Wiseman has not looked the part of an anchor during his time in Golden State thus far. He still has the potential to be one. Wiseman’s combination of length and verticality means that he could at least be a quality defensive big in time.
If he never develops into one, at least the Bulls get a first-round pick here. Yes, it’s lottery protected – Caruso simply isn’t a significant enough piece to merit anything more than that.

It’s reportedly going to take a lot for a team to pull off a trade for Caruso from the Bulls. It’s always going to be exaggerated in leverage-based reporting, though. This is a fair deal to get value.
Should the Warriors even give up this much for him?
