The New York Knicks trade for DeMar DeRozan of the Chicago Bulls is on the cards and is likely to happen very soon. We have already seen two superstars requesting a trade to their preferred teams. The Portland Trail Blazers’ guard Damian Lillard’s move to the Miami Heat wasn’t successful, and he ended up with the Milwaukee Bucks. On the other hand, the Philadelphia Sixers’ James Harden asked for a move to the Los Angeles Clippers, and after a lot of drama, he succeeded in landing in LA.
Chicago Bulls’ veteran guard and forward DeMar DeRozan is following the same trend. The player wants to play for either the Miami Heat or the New York Knicks. Players want to play in a bigger market at the end of their careers, and this request by the 34-year-old makes sense. Although he can’t be the franchise player for the Knicks, he can groom the youngster to brighten the team’s future. Should the Knicks make a move for him? Here is all the information you need about Chicago Bulls’ DeMar DeRozan trade to the New York Knicks.
