Caruso s career contract: a counterattack in the draft, starting with 50,000 yuan, now having a salary of over 100 million yuan, and his girlfriend is so beautiful

This year, the Thunder successfully won the NBA championship. The three big players in the team are all very young, namely Alexander, Jaylen Williams and Chetholmgren, who are also known as the new Thunder's third young master. And in this team, it is crucial to have a veteran, Caruso. At the age of 31, he is the most experienced player in the team and is also the leader of the Thunder's locker room this year, playing an important role in winning the championship. Looking back at Caruso's career contract, he made a comeback since he failed to win the election, with a salary of 50,000 yuan. Now his salary is over 100 million yuan, and his girlfriend is even more beautiful.

No rookie contract

Caruso was the draft in 2016, but he was unfortunately out of the election that year, so Caruso did not have a rookie contract. However, the Thunder then gave Caruso a chance to provide him with a contract of $50,000 for one year, which is a contract that is smaller than the basic salary. He was laid off shortly afterwards, and since then he played in the G League for 50 games and did not get a chance to play for the Thunder.

Two-way firm up

In 2017, the Lakers signed Caruso with a two-way contract. Caruso delivered a game average of 3.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2 assists in the rookie season. Although there were not many opportunities, he was very strong and finally recognized, and the two-way contract was also turned into a regular basis. Caruso, a second-year student, made significant progress, scoring 9.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. Not only did he have a comprehensive skill, but he also performed well in defense.

Finally received the formal contract

With his outstanding personal performance, Caruso finally obtained the formal contract. The Lakers provided him with a minimum salary of $5.5 million for two years, and Caruso also officially gained a foothold in the league. In the first year of renewal, Caruso helped the Lakers win the 2020 championship, and he also proved himself and became an excellent champion 3D. In 21 years, he still averaged 6.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and his performance on the defensive end was outstanding.

Joining the Bulls won a big contract

However, the Lakers did not provide Caruso with a big contract, so after the contract expired, Caruso chose to join the Bulls, and he also received a big contract of $36.98 million for four years. He ushered in an explosion with the Bulls and gradually became a starter. Last year, he scored gorgeous data per game of 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists, and was also selected as the Best Second Defense.

Thunder threw out an olive branch

The Thunder then extended an olive branch to Caruso and provided a four-year, $81 million in fat contract. The outside world said that the contract was too expensive. However, Caruso quickly proved himself and successfully helped the Thunder win the championship this year. He averaged 9.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2 assists per game in the playoffs, and is one of the core figures of the team. As a undrafted pick, Caruso has now won the championship twice, with a total salary of over 100 million yuan in his career, and has a beautiful girlfriend, who can be called a winner in life.
