Now well past the first quarter of the 2022–23 NBA season, trade buzz around the league has started to grow. Among those whose name has been mentioned is Bulls star DeMar DeRozan.
Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes reported Thursday that “rival executives” believe DeRozan could request to be moved in the offseason if Chicago (13–18) is unable to turn around its current standing in the Eastern Conference. The 33-year-old will have just one year remaining on his contract, in which he’s due $28.6 million, and Haynes reports that he has two clear two options: sign an extension with the Bulls or ask for a trade.
DeRozan on the other hand, seems to disagree.
