With Lebron now signing a max deal, this all but closes the door on Demar going to the Lakers

Demar was offered good money... that's his fault

Just like what happened to Schroeder.

Blows my mind to see the audacity of saying no to $40M per year. I love Deebo, but to think that you lost over $20M A YEAR, over a split decision. It's just crazy.

Debos agent either didn’t read the market correctly or Demar didn’t listen to him. He was offered 80 mil for 2 years and turned it down. Now Lebron just signed a 2 year 104 mil. The lakers are off the list. SMH

Demar fumbled the bag, plain and simple. Dennis Shroder all over again.

To make it even worse, he said that's the last straw with the Bulls.

The fact that the young youth route was finally executed by the bulls bc Demar turned down that deal is crazy. I’m glad he turned it down so that we can move off of these players

Baby Bulls era 2.0 about to start next season

I thought from the beginning that DeMar was misreading the situation. He was happy here as the mentor for the young core. He should have, for their sake, accepted something lesser. Why he said no to a 2 year 80m contract is truly baffling. Im glad the bulls didnt do that though that is an overpay.

I would not be surprised if Demar comes back on a short deal. I think he could be a great mentor towards Matas and all the other young players on this roster.

I'm torn caus Demar is our best player and we will suck w out him but on the flip side if he leaves Coby and others can develop faster. I really wish we would have just traded him or P Will for Deni but that ship is long gone.😢

Master of the mid range, Coaches players around him, Is incredibly fun to watch play, Im fine with keeping Deebo.

Lakers re-signed Lebron 2yr 104M .....he didnt take the pay cut lmao.I guess Lakers are out on Demar

Great video! Thx for explaining everything thoroughly BC

Can we finally accept the Jalen Terry project was no good?

They had a chance to trade Caruso Drummond demar at the deadline for chips but nah we’ll lose them all for free

I hate this for him. He’s been a good dude for organization too

His best option is taking a 1 year deal for the MLE or doing a sign and trade with the Lakers, it's his best possibility to win a title, and the other option he could take of signing with the Pistons or the Jazz for the bag seems pretty bad, I would take the MLE or 18-20M on a sign and trade to go to the Lakers

I was hoping the bulls would make one more move by now..

Sacramento is also in the mix.

Idk what we gonna do😭

i'm still hoping the Bulls sign DeMar so that they can do a sign and trade so we can at least get something in return

Glad he’s not going to the shit show that is the lakers. Just come sign for the vet minimum Deebo lol you play a 90s style game in 2024. No one wants to pay you. Best he could do is mentor our young players.

Dam, we are running it back with minor changes. The front office tricked us like they were doing something 😢

The best for him and us is definitely a sign and trade or just try to rehab the bulls relationship and sign him to his 80 for two years.

He was greedy...we offered 80 for 2 yrs!

This was a really well made video. You explained everything perfectly. I have no idea where DeRozan is headed. I think he is going to be disappointed financialy wherever it is.

I bet DeMar goes to a contender like Miami or lakers, also not mad at giddy trade! I foresee lavine staying I hope he balls out.

Think ppl are realizing as good of a player as demar is, you cant build a team around him 🤷🏾‍♂️ dude puts up great numbers on every team hes with and the teams still mid every single time. Notice how the raptors won the chip the very next year after he left

By now I have the feeling that the Bulls want LaVine of there Books as soon as possible. And then they have enough space to give Demar something he likes and then he stays with the Bulls. We will see what happened but that's the situation, how it looks for me right now...

Derrick Jones Jr. from the Bulls to the Finals with the Mavs & now with a good deal at the Clippers. 😅 lol, maybe Demar didn't take the offer from the Bulls to make room for the youngins & Bulls improving in general & now hangs loose.

Why comment "first" But probably not even watching the whole video

Hornets will take advantage of this and sign him to a cheap deal for what he’s worth and compete for play in

How likely is it that Lavine ends up staying lol? If he does I hope he balls out

Sorry it ended this way demar 😢

Demar the veteran Schroder 😂😂😂

If he doesn’t get signed he might be to sit until Feb 🥴 damn Demar

Total greed. Total greed for Demarr.......might as well resign with the Bulls more realistic than with Clippers bad fit and the Lakers delusional situation. Should have signed the extension and would have won in the long run.

Spurs could be the third team involved just make their pick unprotected this year

I have loved Demar but i want to see him go win a ring, thats not going to be with 'us' at chicago. IDK where lavine ends up either, considering reports from Klutch that he and bulls are off each other etc. interesting times ahead.

From a basketball standpoint demar is a heavy iso player with a very questionable shot selection. He took away from the development of young talent and this was magnified with Zack being on the court with him. They both were heavy isolation players People just see females 25 pts a game and think it’s great. He didn’t stretch the floor at all and it’s time to move on

lebron just signed so the MLE does not exist for the lakers anymore i think

The bulls are hard capped after using the MLE. There’s no way they can sign him for anything but the vet minimum. There might be some 3 team deal possible, but the Bulls can’t go over the cap, period.

Good vid, one further detail about a sign ans trade....it has to be for at least 3 years with no options (teams can do ungauranreed money after year 1) Thia means Demar would be taken a pay cut this year and the next two ywars if hw sowa a aign and trade....

Looks like he goofed 2-80M

I’m disgusted seeing Bulls “fans” wanting Demar to go help Lebron win a championship.

What about Lonzo Balls future? He could be included in a deal too right? I mean he still gets paid big… trade him too since he is the odd man out from the guard perspective

I like DeMar, but he and Lavine are two black holes in terms of possesions. Of the two, I'd rather keep DeRozan, that's for sure. Both players are in a kind of hell--they are good players, but too expensive to have on most competiing rosters. DeMar should have taken the money and embraced the youth movement; but I don't blame him, because the Bulls are the worst in terms of skinflint-like behavoir with how they spend money.

The MLE can also be used like a trade exception too with this new CBA

DeMar had a good offer and turned it down. Too bad, so sad 🤷‍♂️

How are you a bottom feeder team but have a high payroll

Demar is 34 or 35 yrs old ffs. Dont pay him shit above 5mil a year!

Who cares bye bye, as long the bulls don't try sign him again

He will play few seasons more, get old and retire. He will buy huge farm in nowhere and have 10 kids.

That's whatcha get for being too greedy, DeMarr. Bye Felicia.

If he turned down $80 million he should fire his agent

Honestly wish we never signed his bum ass in the first place 😂 I was the only one like Demar!? The guy the raptors traded and immediately won after why sign him this front office is now putting a bandage on a bunch of horrible signings around lavine

I was under the impression you can’t go over the cap to execute a s&t

Go to Euroleague

I saw bleacher report gave a sign and trade with the Lakers, Detroit and the Bulls. They said we'd need to give DeRosen and Craig for 2 second round picks. Sounds ridiculous. Unless you need those picks for getting rid of vooch.

It sucks because i see his pov. I mean im forever grateful for his time here. 2x all star, nba 2nd team. Definitely deserves some bread.. at the same time he is old af now and doesn’t really fit with how the league is.

Could see the Warriors being desperate and doing a sign and trade with the Bulls for Demar if they can get Markkanen.

To complicate matters further, DeMar's scheme fit is an issue. A team needs 3 point shooters and defenders out there with him-otherwise, the team looks like what the Bulls looked like. Golden State would be a good fit (so long as Curry and DeMar's minutes are staggered--allowing DeMar to operate as the main guy on the second unit like what he did in Chicago), but they don't have the cap room and they just got under the luxury tax for the upcoming season, making it likely they won't go into it. The Pistons and Jazz aren't really good fits for his abilities--the Pistons don't have enough 3 point shooting as it is. The Heat might be a decent fit (again, so long as they stagger Jimmy's and DeMar's minutes), but if they have to trade Duncan Robinson and/or Tyler Herro away, that really reduces the fit.

I would rather have Demar on the Bulls and be a leader that he has been and be a mentor to our younger players.

Demars agent did him dirtier than Dennis schroeder

Wow, look at these fair weather bulls fans. How quickly they turn on a guy who’s given it his all for the team. No wonder the Bulls seem to be in perpetual purgatory, so many ungrateful and disrespectful fans.

Trade for butler hahahaha

Go back to the Spurs 🤷🏽‍♂️

lebron resigned for like 50M a year, what lebron should did is resign to atleast 10-15M per year contract, I know its small but he said its not about money at this point, and he's already rich so why not? then they could sign demar to atleast even a 20-25M per year contract.

DeMar with CP3, back in San Antonio!

I think he stays one more year in vet minimum. Still need a mentor for these young dudes. Literally nobody else fit for that on the team without AC. Any word on Javonte??? Plz tell me Woo is staying.

An Andre Dawson deal for DeMar DeRozan and pay him later? Hopefully he's not as stupid as Scotty Pippen who negotiated his own grossly underpaid deal.

Bulls had the opportunity to trade him and Derozan isn’t in demand because he’s 35 and is NOT what’s in demand… 3&D Wings. Been screaming for the Bulls to acquire 3&D wings for two seasons now. Quintin Grimes should’ve been a Bull, that was was Caruso’s replacement. This is a mess smh

Keep DeRozan.

A lot of teams want him…they are waiting for the bulls to give him away

FAK! Let's keep LaVine and DeRozan with our young group and win the NBA Finals 2025, that will show em!!!!!

Demar should fire his agent. He's the one that recommended to turn that deal down

Yeah his relationship with P Giddey doesn’t look good

Is there really a way for the bulls to dump zach's contract?

wow glad we avoided giving him 80 million lol

First?

First

LeBron is so smart, strong and brave that his payout he took netted him more nba money for next year
