DeMar DeRozan lands in Golden State in this audacious trade idea

Will Deebo be the new Splash Brother?

Talks of a contract extension for Chicago Bulls ace DeMar DeRozan have been quiet so far, leading many to speculate if he has a future in the Windy City. The answer will be known soon as the trade deadline arrives on February 8.

If the Bulls decide on getting whatever assets they can for DeRozan, Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley has formulated an intriguing trade idea involving the Golden State Warriors.

Deebo is heading to The Bay
In Buckley’s trade idea, the Bulls will send DeRozan and guard Jevon Carter to the Warriors for veteran but oft-injured guard Chris Paul, promising wingman Moses Moody, a 2026 first-round pick (top-three protected), a 2026 second-round pick (via ATL) and a 2028 second-round pick (via ATL).

This deal, if consummated, would benefit the Warriors a great deal. It’s no secret how Golden State wants to give superstar Stephen Curry all the help he needs as he nears the end of his prime. By getting DeRozan, they get a terrific scorer who can take some of the offensive load off Curry’s shoulders. Additionally, Carter provides depth at the guard position and adds some defensive grit to their backcourt.

How it might work for the Bulls
On the other hand, this trade would also benefit the Bulls in several ways. First and foremost, they would be able to acquire a veteran court general in Paul, who could bring valuable leadership to the team and provide sage advice to rising star Coby White. Along with that, they would also receive Moody, a young wing player who has shown potential on both ends of the court.
