On February 25, Beijing time, NBA reporter Ryan Stone wrote an article analyzing how the Bulls should continue to strengthen this summer, and he revealed that an anonymous NBA executive said that the Bulls may use DeRozan to trade Lakers star Thick Eyebrows.
"Chicago is Davis' hometown and it's no secret that he's always wanted to play for the Bulls. So if you're the management of the Bulls, why not make an offer, at least give it a try. ”
"Of course, to complete the deal, the Bulls need to send DeRozan away, then take one of Patrick Williams or Kobe Bryant White, and if it's the latter, add a draft pick. For the Lakers, they can no longer worry about Davis's injury problems, and the combination of James and DeRozan is also great, and they can get Kobe White and use the draft picks to replace a veteran, which will be a good deal for the Lakers. The executive said.
However, this transaction plan has been questioned by many people, especially many fans who bluntly said that if the Bulls really do this, the management's operation is absolutely difficult to call reinforcement, but it is like the Lakers' undercover.
Although in terms of talent, DeRozan really can't compare with the thick eyebrows, but this season DeRozan's progress is very obvious, scoring 35+ in 8 consecutive games, averaging 28.2 points per game, completely exceeding the expectations of the outside world. And deRozan compared to the thick eyebrow brother, the most important thing is that he is healthy enough, and considering that the Bulls have Vucevic inside, there is actually no shortage of people, in this case, it is obviously more beneficial for them to keep DeRozan. Not to mention the deal, the Bulls not only sent DeRozan, but also had to send potential newcomers and draft picks.
The Lakers, it is estimated that they will not do this deal, because DeRozan was interested in joining the Lakers last offseason, but Pelinka finally chose to trade Wei Shao, in this case, if he uses thick eyebrows to exchange for DeRozan, it is tantamount to punching his own face, admitting that his past decisions have made serious mistakes, bringing huge losses to the Lakers. At that time, whether Pelinka's position as general manager can sit firmly will be questioned, how can he be so stupid and dig a hole for himself?
