Bulls never came close to an agreement with DeMar DeRozan
DeRozan, who turns 35 in August and was a free agent this summer, put together one of the most productive three year stretches in team history since he signed in the summer of 2021. He made two All-Star teams, was one of the best clutch performers in the NBA and became a leader for the franchise both on and off the court. The two sides never got close on a contract extension, despite having all season to negotiate, sources told ESPN.

More on this storyline
This was perhaps the most interesting slate of results, with 10 different answers. Ironically, the voting was led by two different parts of the same trade. The Bulls moved DeRozan and watched the Spurs come away with the only significant asset in the trade. As for Sacramento, those who cited that deal didn’t like the fit of DeRozan with the Kings. “The opportunity cost of not giving runway to Keegan [Murray],” said an East executive, explaining why they picked that deal, “and a bad bet on the fit.” -via ESPN / July 30, 2024
