Memphis Grizzlies Receive: G/F DeMar DeRozan
With that said, star power isn’t the only factor in building an NBA team. If it was, the Bulls would be contending.
After all, this team rosters Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic. When the Bulls put this group together, they must have thought they had a better team than they’ve proven to be. Perhaps the fit is problematic.
For what it’s worth, none of these guys are known for their defensive prowess. That’s part of the issue here. It may also be that there’s just too much ball dominance between them.
Whatever the problem is, it’s prevalent. The Bulls aren’t close to title contention. Realistically, this group is unlikely to ever get there.
Is this the right way for them to move DeRozan?
