If the Bulls trade Zach LaVine, DeRozan is also likely to announce his departure. Zach Buckley, who has proposed this trade between the Bulls and the Sixers, wrote that the 76ers could easily trade for a player like DeRozan as they have enough assets.
Buckley wrote:
“The Sixers have enough trade chips to take a bigger swing than this, but a DeRozan deal could help now without spoiling any future plans.”
“He’d address the need for more playmaking, and his expiring contract would do nothing to limit the $50 million-plus Philly could have in cap space next summer.”
