Mock 3-team trade sees Bulls ditch DeMar DeRozan for 24-year-old guard

Mock 3-team trade sees Bulls ditch DeMar DeRozan for 24-year-old guard

The Chicago Bulls are in a tough spot as the offseason gets underway. Last season proved their current core isn’t a championship-caliber group, and they may not even be a guaranteed playoff team. If Arturas Karnisovas wants to avoid a rebuild, he needs to add talent around Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic.

Chicago just re-signed Vucevic to a three-year deal, but rebuilding the roster, or at least reshaping it, would be in their best interest. Rather than tear down the entire roster, the Bulls could instead choose to shift parts, changing the core pieces of their team.

Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report suggested a three-team trade with the Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers that would ditch DeRozan in exchange for a bright young star.
