Every year as the trade deadline approaches, McDermott donates a pile of clothes to Goodwill — mostly to limit what he has to pack if he gets traded again. The deals started at the 2014 draft, when the Bulls — in win-now mode under Tom Thibodeau — flipped two first-round picks for McDermott. McDermott played just 321 minutes as a rookie, and watched as the players selected with Chicago’s traded picks — Gary Harris and Jusuf Nurkic — outperformed him. “I took the trade on the court with me,” McDermott said. “I felt pressure. But you learn quickly Thibs doesn’t play rookies.”
