The Chicago Bulls' 2023-24 season has been a rollercoaster ride, leading to inevitable trade rumors. Whether they rise above their struggles or hit a stride, questions about their potential continue to surface.

The Bulls' Midseason Predicament

The Bulls find themselves stuck in the middle of the Eastern Conference's fierce competition. Achieving a playoff spot seems challenging, given the top-tier talent in the conference. A major turnaround is essential for postseason hopes. Adding to the uncertainty, DeMar DeRozan's contract is in its final year.




DeRozan's Trade Possibility
Amidst uncertainties, trade speculations surrounding DeRozan are on the horizon. The Bulls might explore trading him to secure valuable assets. However, DeRozan isn't inclined to request a trade.

DeRozan's Commitment to the Bulls

In an interview with KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, DeRozan expressed his stance on forcing a move to a preferred destination.

"I've always been this way: Control what you can control," DeRozan stated. "Being professional, even in tough times, is crucial. It's easy to run away or blame others, but sticking through teaches you valuable lessons."


DeRozan emphasized that demanding trades doesn't always guarantee desired outcomes. Instead, he focuses on giving his best every day and letting his performance speak for itself.

The Bulls' Dilemma

If the Bulls' situation worsens, they should consider trading DeRozan, especially given the uncertainty around contract extensions. However, DeRozan won't be the one forcing the Bulls' hand in any potential trade scenario.
