While many other stars are getting talked about as impact players that could change teams, DeMar DeRozan is the under-the-radar All-Star that could be headed to a contender in a blockbuster trade this summer.

Just like every other summer, this one is set to be a busy few months for the NBA. While there isn’t a large assortment of stars on the free agent market, there could be a lot of movement on the trade front. One player who certainly could be up for grabs is six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan.

The 33-year-old may not be on his way out of Chicago because of a decline in his game or disconnect with management, but more because the Bulls were a major disappointment in 2022-2023 and he is a valuable chip that could be used to shake up the roster.

While there has been speculation that disgruntled teammate Zach LaVine could be on the block, it just seems unlikely a trade happens after the organization gave the 28-year-old a massive five-year, $215 million contract last summer.

Assuming the Chicago Bulls do look to trade DeMar DeRozan and rearrange their roster for next season, these four teams would likely be the top contenders for the talented swingman’s services.

Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies attempted to make a big move at the NBA trade deadline in February, and Raptors star OG Anunoby was reportedly their top target. While they couldn’t get a deal done in the winter, they may be forced to be bold this summer.

Not only because they were shockingly bounced from the first round of the playoff this year, but because will lose All-Star Ja Morant for a notable amount of time due to an impending suspension for his latest head-scratching decision. DeMar DeRozan could be an excellent option to bring the team some extra playoff-proven scoring, and another much-needed adult in the locker room.
