The Chicago Bulls are still figuring out DeMar DeRozan's free agency
As NBA free agency continues, Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan remains without a new team. The expectation is that DeRozan has played his last game in Chicago, but his path to a new team will be complicated.
A lot of cap space has been used up around the league, and most teams that do have remaining space are not projected destinations for DeRozan. This increases the likelihood of a sign and trade deal, but those are also complicated, especially under the league’s new CBA. In a recent report from Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, it was revealed that the Miami Heat are trying to do something in the trade market, but DeRozan may be too difficult of an option at the moment:
Heat is trying to do something in trade market, I've been assured. . That's why they have left themselves 7 M under 2nd apron for now. So it's not like they're sitting around playing scrabble.Miami has been rumored to have interest in several different potentially available stars, but according to Jackson, DeRozan may be too complicated to acquire.
It also remains a possibility that DeRozan could accept a below market deal for one year, which would allow him to enter free agency again next summer when more teams could have cap space. There are several different directions DeRozan can take his free agency, many of which include a sign and trade that would at least give Chicago some level of compensation for his departure.Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
