In Chicago, dismantling the project is not being considered at the moment. And if they consider that option they will look for the maximum possible return, so they will not let their players escape. Thus, the Bulls have held “exploratory conversations” with DeMar DeRozan about a potential contract extension, as reported by the journalist from ESPN Jamal Collier.
Already in September it was reported that Chicago management was inclined to renew its star’s contract. A claim that is beginning to take shape given the contractual urgency of the forward, who is in his last year of employment, which will earn him around 28.6 million dollars.
According to sources from said media, the Bulls are interested in closing a new long-term agreement despite the fact that DeRozan is already 34 years old. The player himself shared at the end of September his rejection of a potential reconstruction. An outcome that the latest movements made by the Illinois offices momentarily displace. In Chicago they continue to trust in the team’s potential if they manage to get rid of the much-feared injuries.

DeRozan has just over two weeks left to begin his third season as part of the Bulls roster. His averages in Chicago amount to 26.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists in a total of 150 games, all of them as a starter.
