I think he provides enough playmaking (you don't need a ton with both Luka and Kyrie) can shoot well enough to stretch the floor, and he is an elite perimeter defender. He is also one of the most likely available in trade. With only one year left (in the offseason), not sure what the cost would be.
I'm kind of leaning Caruso too. He won't be cheap. Definitely going to take more than a 1st as a lot of contenders would be willing to offer that. Probably something like Green+1st would give you a shot.
I'm not sold yet that they should do that though. I guess it maximizes their chances of a title over the next couple years, but Caruso is already 30. It's not hard to imagine Green putting it all together defensively with another team while Caruso declines. What would really be nice is a Caruso/Green platoon where they can both go all out for 24 mpg.
