Chicago Bulls fans reacted to a recent update on the nature of DeMar DeRozan’s contract with the team. The Bulls will need to look at possibly extending DeRozan this summer.

Since last summer, the Bulls have invested in keeping their core three of DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic. The Bulls extended LaVine last summer and Vucevic last month. According to Daniel Greenberg, Tuesday is the first day the Bulls can ink DeRozan to a new deal. He can sign a deal up to $179M for four seasons.

DeRozan still has one more season left on the three-year, $81.9M deal he signed with the Bulls before the 2021-22 season. It’ll be interesting to see if the Bulls try and make an offer before the start of the upcoming season.
