If you’re following the NBA, don’t blink. Everything could change in that moment. 

Teams with title contention in mind can suddenly fall apart. If it’s not working, tensions can flare. When that happens, teams often consider blowing up their core. 

Look at the Chicago Bulls. When this team acquired Nikola Vucevic and DeMar DeRozan, they were supposed to be building a contender. At 13-18, they look like anything but. 

Rumors suggest that it’s impacting team morale. The Bulls do not appear to be getting along.

By now, nobody would be surprised if any of their best players ended up finding new homes this season. 

Here are three deals that have DeRozan heading elsewhere. 

 

Dallas Mavericks

Chicago Bulls Receive: F Davis Bertans, C Dwight Powell, 2025 First-Round Pick (DAL), 2027 First-Round Pick (Swap – DAL) 

Dallas Mavericks Receive: G/F DeMar DeRozan
