The Chicago Bulls reportedly requested four unprotected picks in exchange for Alex Caruso during previous trade negotiations, per
@JakeLFischer


“The Bulls engaged several teams over the past 18 months that were willing to sacrifice first-round draft capital for Caruso, sources said, while Chicago characteristically pushed for unprotected picks and as many as four firsts in some of those conversations. Chicago also refused to include Caruso in deals that would have offloaded Zach LaVine, sources said.”



4 picks and they went with Giddey. Pretty surprising.

Count me skeptical that somebody was going to pay 4 firsts for Caruso.  Hell one of the only teams that can even do that just traded no picks for him.  It was rumored that Nets turned down multiple firsts for Dorian as well.  I think some of these rumored offers get quite a bit exaggerated at times.
