Is there any truth to the rumors?

There have been rumors regarding a potential trade surrounding DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic. The newest additions to the team last season were significant reasons for last year’s success.

DeRozan was in the MVP conversation for a while, becoming the team leader. It’s hard to believe that the Bulls organization would give up on a team that had such success just last year. There have been whispers that the Bulls have made DeRozan unavailable for trade, but Vooch may be on the way out, especially with him seeking a new contract.

"Adrian Wojnarowski said, “This is a Bulls team that wants to make the playoffs and wants to get Lonzo Ball back. They’re not ready to concede yet.”"

In the end, there may not be a trade done, but it’s clear that his team has to get things together, or the Bulls will be on their way back to a tank.
