The Chicago Bulls guard and forward DeMar DeRozan might get traded to the Atlanta Hawks this offseason. The 34-year-old has been one of those players who have been great individually but failed to bring any success to their team. On one hand, he has impressive stats and on the other, the Bulls are struggling.
Who is to blame for the scenario? The player or the team? Anyways, the team is struggling, and the management would like to do some trades to change things for the better. Since both parties want success, and none of them is getting it in this scenario, the Bulls might move the player to some other team. The Hawks seem interested. Can they land him? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Atlanta Hawks, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Chicago Bulls involving DeMar DeRozan.
What would the Hawks offer for DeMar DeRozan?
In this three-team trade deal, the Mavericks would land Clint Capela, the Hawks would get DeMar DeRozan and the Bulls would receive Christian Wood, Patty Mills, Olivier Maxence Prosper and one second-round pick each from the year 2028 and 2030. The Hornets’ #20 has a contract until next summer, and the Hornets would prefer to trade him now rather than letting him go for free.
