Dallas Mavericks
NBA Trade Deadline target: Alex Caruso, Chicago Bulls
As the NBA Trade Deadline inches closer and closer, there's one name that's likely going to emerge as one of the most sought-after trade targets - Alex Caruso. The smoke around him is going to grow in the next couple of months, especially if it becomes clear that the Chicago Bulls are going to inevitably move on from him. If there's one team that Caruso would make sense for it's the Dallas Mavericks.
With a backcourt of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, having a defensive-minded guard such as Caruso could offer some great value for the Mavs. He could play next to either Kyire or Luka and the Mavs could get creative with some three-guard lineups if they want. He offers a two-way element that Dallas doesn't have in the backcourt at the moment.
For a team that has been better than expected through the first month of the season, this is the type of move that the Mavs should be swinging for heading into the trade deadline. Whether they're successful or not could be the difference between the Mavs making a deep playoff run and not.
