Despite a report from Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes that DeMar DeRozan and the Bulls are “far apart” on agreeing upon a contract extension, the forward says he wants to remain in Chicago. “Chicago is Chicago to me,” DeRozan told the Tribune. “I love it here. Obviously it’s a place I want to be in my career. None of that has changed. I don’t have no other type of doubts or feelings or suggestions to be elsewhere. That don’t cross my mind.”

More on this storyline
DeRozan knows the business. He’s been blindsided by a trade before. But DeRozan said he feels conversations between his camp and the Bulls front office have been “constructive” as the Feb. 8 trade deadline slowly nears. “When things ain’t going right, it’s always easy to throw those narratives out there,” DeRozan said. “It’s just about how you get through it and how you accept the challenge that’s ahead.” -via Chicago Tribune / December 15, 2023
DeRozan’s goal the next two months is to provide a steadying force for the Bulls locker room. He maintains his relationship with LaVine hasn’t been affected by the trade chatter surrounding the team — and LaVine’s impending departure — over the past month. And he hopes to instill that same unflappable nature into the rest of his teammates as the Bulls attempt to claw back to .500. “Me being in the league so long, I understand this period of time, it just comes with the occupation,” DeRozan said. “I really don’t pay no mind to it. My priority is to be here, make this organization and this team successful and get through whatever tough stuff we’re going through.” -via Chicago Tribune / December 15, 2023
NBC Sports Chicago reported previously that management’s main focus is on LaVine’s future. If a market develops for DeRozan between now and the Feb. 8 deadline, it’s an executive’s job to listen, obviously. But DeMar DeRozan is deeply valued internally, not only for his on-court skill but for his off-court mentorship of young players. -via NBC Sports Chicago / December 15, 2023
