DeMar DeRozan standing firm on salary demands
Yet, to this point, the notion of a significant pay cut is reportedly still out of the question. “For the teams that might be calling or gauging interest in DeMar taking a full mid-level exception, which is around $13 million, I am told that is not even being considered right now,” Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes said. DeRozan is still operating under the old-world assumption that he is a star and should be paid as such.

Wrote a little bit about DeMar DeRozan’s seemingly tepid free-agent market.
I think this is pretty straightforward. This isn’t a matter of the CBA scaring suitors. I just don’t think many teams want to a pay a 35-year-old who doesn’t shoot 3’s or defend.

The Bulls had the opportunity to sell off DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso and Andre Drummond at the trade deadline to contending teams for draft capital.
In the end, they will likely receive zero draft picks for all three.

DeMar DeRozan always insisted his future was in Chicago.
But only days into free agency, it seems that door is swinging closed.
Is DeMar moving on? And what does that mean for the Bulls in the future?

There’s a growing belief that the Bulls will attempt to trade Nikola Vucevic, if DeMar DeRozan leaves in free agency, per @MikeAScotto (hoopshype.com/lists/nba-rumo…).
It likely won’t take much to pry Vucevic off Chicago’s roster as they potentially pivot to a rebuild. pic.twitter.com/mahbFrMdlp – 4:31 PM

DeMar DeRozan had a great year, but it is really hard to find a landing spot for him.
Here’s why a sign-and-trade hasn’t happened yet and what the likely endgame is for him:

DeMar DeRozan led the NBA in minutes played and fourth-quarter points. As recently as mid-April, he emphatically stated “this is where I want to be.”
So why is he unsigned? And what happened with him and the Bulls?

More on this storyline
Barry Jackson: They explored it, had a conversation, but he wants more than Miami can currently give him -via x.com / July 3, 2024
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said of DeRozan: “There is interest in DeMar DeRozan. But the kind of contract that he might want just is not going to be available; it’s not left out there in the marketplace. The Bulls are more than willing to work on a sign and trade agreement to get him the years and money that he might want. With the new salary cap rules, those are much difficult for teams to do. The Lakers have interest… LeBron James has talked about a willingness to take significantly less money to open up their mid-level exception. “In DeMar DeRozan’s case, it may look like a one-year deal somewhere, let the market reset next year. If you do a sign and trade, it’s got to be at least three years and then you’re locked into a three-year deal at a number you may not like. The Lakers are interested, but is there a mechanism that would allow them to create a slot to acquire him? That will be the harder part.” -via Miami Herald / July 3, 2024
Chris Haynes: “I remember a couple years ago DeMar, he was led to believe that he was going to be a Laker before he signed his deal with the Chicago Bulls,” reported Haynes on the This League Uncut Podcast. “Something happened last minute, DeMar has always, whenever he’s kind of talked about it, he never gives too many details but he gives you enough to know that something went down that he didn’t appreciate. There’s still as of right now, nothing going on. DeMar is kind of in limbo right now because Chicago there trying to move off of Zach Lavine’s deal.” -via Clutch Points / July 3, 2024
