There has been much discussion about what the Bulls may receive in exchange for DeMar. DeRozan has done a lot to raise his trade worth while playing in the Windy City, earning two straight All-Star berths and even an All-NBA candidature in 2022. However, I believe it would be stupid to have unrealistic expectations for a huge haul.
Despite his immense skill, DeRozan has repeatedly shown he is not the player who will take your team to the promised land. The smartest decision the Chicago Bulls could make this summer would be to seek elsewhere and trade DeRozan for the best offer. Chicago has a great chance to turn this squad around and start winning games more frequently once more. It's unfortunate that DeRozan is being used as the lamb in this situation given how wonderful he has been for the Bulls.
