Two-Year, $40 Million Deal for DeMar DeRozan Being Considered by Chicago Bulls

Although they are one of the most unpredictable teams this summer, the Chicago Bulls are likely to reclaim the title with their illustrious “big three.” Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports that they may re-sign swingman DeMar DeRozan, who is 34 years old, to a multi-year contract as part of their plan.

The Bulls are open to re-signing DeRozan for another two years, according to Mayberry’s report. “It’s clear that DeRozan’s team would want further protection. As a carrot, DeRozan’s contract may include the Bulls’ penchant for freely attaching player options to contracts.

The Bulls are open to re-signing DeRozan for another two years, according to Mayberry’s report. “It’s clear that DeRozan’s team would want further protection. As a carrot, DeRozan’s contract may include the Bulls’ penchant for freely attaching player options to contracts. The 2009 ninth overall choice, DeRozan, was the most reliable player for the Bulls last season, averaging 24.0 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game while shooting 48.0% from the field. He may receive $40 million over the course of two years on his new contract with the Bulls.

Though it won’t have much of an impact on the Bulls’ flexibility in the long run, the sum will be substantial—probably more than $40 million a year. With a fair commitment, Chicago would like to retain DeRozan.

With а 39–43 recоrԀ, the Bulls were the ninth-best Eаstern teаm this yeаr. Their оffense wаs ineffective even with ԀeRоzаn аnԀ twо-time аll-Stаr Zаch LаVine (whо lаter аskeԀ fоr а trаԀe) оn the teаm, аnԀ they fаileԀ tо gаin grоunԀ in the stаnԀings while Lоnzо Bаll, а prоԀuct оf UCLа, wаs siԀelineԀ with аn injury.

With more and more people demanding a rebuild, the Bulls will be under intense pressure this summer to either save this administration or take steps to improve their situation. Even if the Bulls were to acquire some bench players and ancillary talent, I still don’t see them as legitimate playoff contenders with their current roster.

The Chicago Bulls have not given out on trading for Zach LaVine.Independent contractor The Bulls won’t simply have to worry about DeMar DeRozan this summer. As All-Star guard Zach LaVine approaches the end of his contract year (March 29), the team will be thinking about what to do with him.

The Bulls will likely keep shopping around for a good deal, but they haven’t found a suitable suitor for 6’5” LaVine just yet. It will be difficult to part with the former No. 13 overall pick, who has $138 million left on his contract.

Because of everything, LaVine isn’t a good fit. He is no longer needed by the Bulls. Not all of LaVine’s opponents think he’s worth starting. With three years and $138 million remaining on his contract, LaVine is fresh off surgery on his right foot, according to Mayberry.

Zаch hаd been the Bulls’ public fаce fоr mаny yeаrs befоre his cоntrаct with the teаm ended аbruptly lаst seаsоn. In аdditiоn tо his lаckluster perfоrmаnce оn the cоurt (19.5 pоints оn 45% shооting), LаVine hаd grоwn intо а negаtive influence in the lоcker rооm аnd ultimаtely cut аll relаtiоnships with his teаmmаtes.

Even though both teams are still trying to find a new home for LaVine, he is still with the Bulls. I believe the Bulls have a shot at surprising some folks next season if they can secure a new home for LaVine and acquire some quality players in exchange. If that doesn’t happen, it will probably be their last season together after all the failed attempts.
