The plan was always a 80% veteran roster, Lonzo needs to be on a different team from Lonzo. Both need the ball in-hand

You can see how much Bron likes playing with Caruso. Over 50% of Lebrons assist were to Javalle McGee or Kuzma but you can still see the chemistry and risk Bron takes with Caruso, also Bron seems to be more comfortable with Caruso handling the ball than I think I’ve ever seen him with any 2nd-3rd PG.

[@TheDarkphx]

Caruso got length, versatility, plays defense, facilitate the half court set, has shown he can hit buzzer beaters. No problem coming off the bench. I'd rather see him closing games anyways. 1 more month till opening night!!!
