Why The Chicago Bulls Do The Deal
We think so. Of course, some Bulls fans will disagree with us.
They’ll say we’re selling the Bulls short. Surely, a player of DeRozan’s talent level can fetch them more than this. We wouldn’t be so sure about that.
DeRozan is approaching the end of his career. He’s never been known as a defensive stopper, and we already touched on his poor floor spacing. This feels like market value for his services.
It’s a good return. The Bulls are netting two first-round picks here, even if one has already been conveyed late.
