Caruso is expected to be a huge addition to the Thunder.

He is one of the best role players in the league, and they are coming off an excellent season where they were the first seed in the Western Conference with a 57-25 record.

After making the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2020, the Thunder swept the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round (they then lost to the Dallas Mavericks in six games).

“They’re always serious on the court and never serious off the court.”
