A single day remains before the NBA trade deadline will have officially arrived, and any currently circulating Bulls rumors might be able to play out. First-year Chicago Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley have a tough looming task ahead come the March 25 trade deadline to figure out the best ways to reshape this roster.
What became clear since the All-Star Break concluded for first-year head coach Billy Donovan and this Bulls team is that the current roster at hand is not getting it done. Even a lot of key pieces of the young core are not living up to the billing and might see the door out of Chicago in the near future.
Come deadline day around the NBA landscape, the Bulls will be one of the teams that most are watching to see what moves they make (or lack thereof). The Bulls former front office regime of John Paxson and Gar Forman stayed quiet at last year’s trade deadline. But that might not be true for Karnisvoas and Eversley this time around.
Connection between Bulls rumors and DeMar DeRozan
Moreover, one of the more recent intriguing trade rumors concerning the Bulls involved the “faction” of the new front office that is apparently interested in trading for the San Antonio Spurs veteran star guard DeMar DeRozan. The 31-year-old former Toronto Raptor DeRozan is in the final year of his current contract, thus he wouldn’t be a long-term potential liability on the Bulls cap sheet.
That makes the idea of trading with the Spurs for DeRozan pretty appealing for a lot of Bulls fans, and with good reason. Here’s a look into three potential trades that the Bulls could offer the Spurs for DeRozan.
