However, one executive from the Eastern Conference feels that the team (Miami Heat) needs a guard in the “worst way” and is considering a deal for the defensive ace of the Chicago Bulls, Alex Caruso. He said, “They need a guard in the worst way,” the Eastern Conference executive told Heavy Sports.
Caruso is a unique kind of player in that his contributions on both ends of the court go beyond the stat sheet, even though his numbers don’t always pop off the page. His abilities and skillset are different to the players in the NBA and that is what stands out for him.

An NBA Eastern conference executive said this regarding Alex’s Miami Heat trade rumors, “They’re not out there beating the bushes for a trade or anything, that is not how they operate. They’re going to say they like Josh [Richardson] and they like Dru Smith, and all of that.
But they’ve got to be concerned and if the Bulls let it be known that Alex Caruso can be traded, they’d have to be the first in line. He is an Erik Spoelstra kind of guy all the way. They have an eye on him, for sure. We all do.”
Caruso is averaging 7.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in his nine games with the Bulls this season. He is also shooting 59.1 percent from the field, 44.0 percent from behind the 3-point arc, and 63.6 percent from the free-throw line according to StatMuse.
How will Alex Caruso fit at the Miami Heat?
The Miami Heat are a very good defensive team. They are known for their defensive plays for years now. They possess stars like Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler in their squad and this season they are looking to add another one who goes by the name of Alex Caruso.
Some stats for Alex Caruso this season:
– 12pts /75 poss
– 7 FGA
– 4 3s
– 33% on pull up 3s
– Non-existent mid range game
– 3 drives per gameThis is nothing that the Heat need from their starting PG

Caruso is an excellent addition to any squad in the NBA. He is shrewd and has good defensive play. He plays with his all-out effort and makes a useful complementary element. He will support the Miami Heat in every circumstance if the trade move were to happen; in addition, he occasionally displays clutch play and has superior game-reading skills.
It remains to be seen where will Alex be traded to or if will he be traded in the first place. For this trade move to take place, any team in the NBA will have to keep up with the demands of the Chicago Bulls and that won’t be an easy one.
