Bulls rejected Top-10 2024 draft pick for Alex Caruso trade
Alex Caruso does for the Bulls’ defensive culture and identity what DeRozan does for their offense. Given the team’s stated desire to remain competitive, they have resisted trading Caruso despite tantalizing offers. The Bulls took calls on Caruso, but never made them. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the Bulls have received offers from multiple teams, consisting of multiple protected first-round picks. One of those deals included a pick in the top-10 of the 2024 Draft, the source said. The Golden State Warriors were among teams who made a strong offer for Caruso, multiple sources confirmed. Ultimately, they declined.

Bulls writer @Will_Gottlieb is reporting that the Golden State Warriors made a strong pursuit of Alex Caruso, but the Bulls declined. Caruso would be a nice role player to help with perimeter defense. Starting July 6, Caruso is can sign a 4-year, $78.8 mil extension #dubnation – 1:52 PM

The Bulls have discussed trading up from No. 11 overall for Donovan Clingan, per @JCowleyHoops (chicago.suntimes.com/sports-saturda…).
Chicago would likely have to surrender future draft capital and/or a player like Alex Caruso to move up that high in the draft.
