The Chicago Bulls held out at the trade deadline for the third straight year this season, opting to keep their core intact. However, rumors indicate that the Bulls are considering trying to trade Zach LaVine this summer. But where does that leave DeMar DeRozan? Will he still be on the team?
DeRozan is set to enter the final year of his contract with the Bulls, and both teams I didn’t find an extension. That means he will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, free to sign with any team he wants. However, he could still re-sign with the Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls Central YouTube Channel recently discussed whether or not DeRozan has any leverage in extension negotiations with the Bulls.
By not trading DeRozan, the Bulls now run the risk of losing him for nothing in free agency. And even if this would allow them to exit the current era, they will still lose a lot of value.
