According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, DeMar DeRozan is headed to the Chicago Bulls from the San Antonio Spurs in a sign-and-trade. The Bulls quickly just passed the Indiana Pacers as a better team in the Eastern Conference and Central Division.
The Chicago Bulls finished 31-41 last season, which was good for the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference last season.
Not good enough for the NBA Playoffs.
That will likely change this season as according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the team has landed four-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan (see Tweets below).
The deal is for a fully guaranteed $85 million over three-years, according to Charania.
Now the Bulls have added DeRozan and Lonzo Ball (see Tweet below from Charania) to a roster that has 2021 NBA All-Stars Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic.
Stats last season:
2020-21 Central Division:
The Bulls will now be a very good team with a chance to get a top-four seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
Why is this bad news for the Pacers?
The Central Division just got a lot more interesting for the 2021-22 NBA season.
