Joining Forces with LeBron JamesJames and DeRozan, two longtime Eastern Conference rivals, have always been complimentary of one another, and it appears like they’re thrilled about the possibility of becoming colleagues at almost every trade deadline. Although James has looked like a general manager on several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers since he arrived, DeRozan would definitely have James’s blessing. To help the Lakers score in the final minutes and take some pressure off LeBron James, who is getting on in years, they could bring in a player who was nominated for the award in the previous two seasons.
If the Laker team wants him to play, DeMar DeRozan is game.

— TheDunkCentral of NBACentral On May 15, 2024The lack of financial resources in Los Angeles is the primary concern regarding the six-time All-Star’s decision to go to the West Coast. D’Angelo Russell, who has a player option and might opt out anyhow, would have to go because they are already over their cap space. Rui Hachimura and, maybe, Austin Reaves, who have a combined $30 million in contracts, would be the players to depart next. For the next two or three seasons, DeRozan allegedly wants close to $40 million a year.
Returning to Chicago is Highly LikelyAlthough playing for the Bulls would be a dream come true for DeRozan, he is excited to go back home and represent his childhood team. He starts up by stating that it’s a wonderful organization, a pleasant place to be, and a setting in which he is at ease. And that doesn’t even take into account the budget, which is substantially more receptive to spending than Los Angeles’. Even if it may not be the greatest move for the team, Chicago can still give him the $40 million he wants per year. The 34-year-old is almost guaranteed to suit up for the Redskins again for the upcoming seasons.We are all in this together as an organization. Returning DeRozan to the team was a top priority, as Karnisovas stated at the beginning of the offseason. There will be scoring security and a seasoned presence in the locker room thanks to him, even though his deal isn’t as team-friendly as it once was. With Lonzo Ball back in the lineup, DeRozan will be able to reclaim the position he had when he first arrived in Chicago. That was their best season overall, and DeRozan, a former USC forward, had a season where he was a top-five MVP candidate.
Would you rather see Derozan return to Chicago or have him join his hometown Lakers in their quest for an NBA title?
