Is Demar DeRozan's Future in Los Angeles?
Lakers Reportedly Exploring Sign-and-Trade for Bulls Star
Sign-and-trade Discussions Hit Snag Over Return Package
The Los Angeles Lakers are actively pursuing a sign-and-trade deal for Chicago Bulls All-Star DeMar DeRozan, according to reports. The Bulls are reportedly willing to discuss a potential trade, but negotiations have been held up over the desired return package.
Similar to the recent sign-and-trade talks involving Indiana Pacers star Malcolm Brogdon, one of the primary obstacles in a potential DeRozan deal is determining what the Bulls would receive in return. The Lakers have limited assets to offer, while the Bulls are seeking a substantial package for their franchise player.
The Lakers have had a relatively quiet offseason thus far, making the potential acquisition of DeRozan a significant move. However, the looming free agency of LeBron James, who has reportedly been willing to take a pay cut to facilitate the signing of a top-tier free agent, could complicate negotiations.
