As the Chicago Bulls attempt to navigate their way through a rocky start to their 2023-24 campaign, another looming issue hangs above their head. DeMar DeRozan, who has re-blossomed into an All-Star since signing with the Bulls in 2021, is due a contract extension, as he’s in the final year of his deal.
According to recent reports, negotiations between DeRozan and the team haven’t been going well, and the two sides are far apart in regard to terms. At 34 years old, DeRozan only has so many years left in the NBA, and the Bulls aren’t exactly in the title mix at the moment, so there are a lot of factors to consider.
During a recent chat with KC Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago, DeRozan even spoke about not knowing when he plans on retiring.
