Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
The Bulls are mostly doing this deal for the future. With that said, it could help them next season as well.
Harris is not as talented as DeRozan. Still, he’s a better defender and shooter. If they’re retaining Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, they could build their offense around that duo.
Harris will compliment them more. On the other hand, he’s not the main reason the Bulls would do this deal in the first place. Harris is here to make the money work.
The Bulls do this deal for the first-round pick and the swap. For an aging DeRozan who suffers on defense, that’s a solid return.
