The Chicago Bulls guard and forward DeMar DeRozan is expected to play for the Golden State Warriors in the upcoming season. The Warriors are having the time of their lives. They were champions in 2022 and were in contention for another last season before getting knocked out by the Lakers in the conference semifinals. They would like to make some changes and win another title before their golden dynasty ends.
The USC Trojans product played 74 games for the Bulls last season and averaged 24.5 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game while shooting 32.4 percent from beyond the arc. The player has been great individually but the team has failed to achieve significant success, and that is the reason they would like to flip him for some assets or quality players. The Warriors are interested in the 34-year-old, can they land him this offseason? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Chicago Bulls and the Golden State Warriors involving DeMar DeRozan.
What would the Warriors offer for DeMar DeRozan?
The Warriors are expected to offer Chris Paul, Moses Moody, and a 2027 first-round pick in exchange for the Bulls’ #11 and Alex Caruso. While the Warriors have enjoyed their share of success, the Bulls have been nowhere close to it for a while now. They would be desperate for some moments of joy.
