The Chicago Bulls entered the 2023-2024 NBA season with a roster that they meticulously built during the offseason. They successfully re-signed key players such as Nikola Vucevic, Coby White, and Ayo Dosunmu, all of whom received three-year deals (source). Despite calls from fans to rebuild, the Bulls decided to push forward and commit to their current roster.
However, one major decision still looms for the Bulls: whether or not to extend DeMar DeRozan’s contract. The Bulls signed DeRozan in free agency in 2021, but if the team fails to make significant progress towards the playoffs, bringing DeRozan back may not be a wise investment. It’s a delicate balance they have to navigate.
According to NBA insider Shams Charania, the Bulls and DeRozan have been engaged in extension talks, but the two sides are currently far apart on various fronts such as the number of years and salary (source). It seems DeRozan also wants to see how the Bulls perform before committing to a new contract.
As the season progresses, it will be crucial to closely monitor DeRozan’s contract negotiations with the Bulls (source).
