Alex Caruso wants to re-sign long-term with OKC: "It would be amazing"

In order to compete for the NBA championship ring, Oklahoma City Thunder wanted a defensive specialist. Therefore, they traded Josh Giddey to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Alex Caruso.

So far, things have been going well for OKC in the 2024/25 NBA season. The franchise remains the leader in the Western Conference with a record of 22-5. Additionally, they reached the NBA Cup final, where they couldn't claim the title, as it was taken by the Milwaukee Bucks.

Caruso's performance is meeting expectations. Despite an injury that kept him out for several games, the player is performing well at a good defensive level. He is now eligible to sign a 4-year, $81.1 million contract extension, something he has stated would truly be "incredible."

"Obviously, this is a place I feel is on the rise and that's something I want to be a part of. That's why I'm here. I think the writing's on the wall. People don't negotiate with players in the final year of their contract unless they plan on keeping them for a bit. That's just how business goes. So, I'm looking forward to having that conversation with Sam [Presti]. Everything the Thunder represent is what I represent," Alex Caruso told Jake Fischer.
