Should the Boston Celtics consider trading 2023 Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon for Chicago Bulls point guard Alex Caruso?

On the other hand, Brogdon is a considerably better player overall and on offense, which may matter more given head coach Joe Mazzulla’s focus on that end of the court last season, to start.
