I also am not certain Dyson at his best will be as good as Caruso is now.
This. We scored over 150 points last game- Dyson was the only player on the team with 0. We need to have a serious discussion on what type of player especially offensively Dyson will develop into. Yes, hes 20 and very talented on the defensive end- but I'm not sure Dyson will ever meet what some posters expect him to become. I mean we're sitting here saying no way we can trade Dyson for a backup; hate to burst peoples bubbles but Dyson is also a backup.
I'm sure the Dyson stans will downvote this to oblivion lol

It’s still really early in his development and only 20. The lack of progression offensively in year two is concerning, but there’s still time.

I got no problem trading Dyson, but I sure as hell wouldn’t do it for Caruso, and I like Caruso.
People need to realize that our core lineup is set, and we will see where it takes us this year.
We have a starting 5, a backup 5, Trey and Hawkins who are good enough to start on most teams, and then 3 more legit role players.
We can’t add talent to this team without giving some away. If you give some away, then you better be getting back something that makes us better.
Exchanging role players doesn’t make us better.
Upgrading JV or BI is really the only moves we can make to really make us significantly better. I’d say Herb as well but I have a hard time believing there’s a guy out there ok with being the 5th option that makes what he makes and does what he does, meaning I’m not trading Herb for Jerami Grant.

Dyson is on a rookie-scale contract and a good value for us in the future. Trading him for Caruso would shorten our window. There's zero chance that Griff would do such a deal. We'll only significantly shorten our timeline for an impact player that gives us a chance to win a title this season.
You really think that Caruso over Dyson is the missing piece that puts us over the top to winning a title this year?
