DeMar DeRozan is happy. After weeks in which Chicago seemed hopelessly sunk, the last few weeks have seen a huge change for the better; so much so that this last morning they won on the Philadelphia 76ers field to place themselves with a balance of 11-17 and stalk the positions of play-in.
Despite such a step forward, the option for the All-Star shooting guard to change teams in a few months is still very real. Without an agreement for now to extend his contract with the Bulls, it would expire on June 30, 2024, thus making him a free agent (if he is not traded before). That is the context in which the 34-year-old player operates, but that does not mean he hides how comfortable he is in the franchise; And he even goes so far as to issue a warning to his young teammates, pointing directly to his coach, Billy Donovan.
«I tell a lot of young players that they really don’t know what they have here. Never take it for granted having a coach as nice and hard-working as Billy, because you won’t always find something better elsewhere,” he says in statements reported by Joe Cowley of The Chicago Sun-Times.

The truth is that the Bulls seem hopelessly headed toward a rebuild. After years immersed in the current project, the mediocre results push for a change of direction. We will have to be very attentive to the movements they may make between now and the closing of the transfer market in February.
