The struggling Bulls might have to set their sights on the 2024 NBA trade deadline sooner than intended.
Chicago (6–14) likely will have plenty of trade suitors for six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan, who is averaging 21.3 points this season and can become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
If the Bulls do trade DeRozan, the 34-year-old reportedly prefers to be moved to the Heat or Knicks, per The Athletic’s Sam Amick.
