“I’ll let my agent and the organization deal with that side of things, to be honest, man. From their standpoint, they want me to be there long term and vice versa. We’ll see what happens from there.”This season marks a critical turning point for the Bulls and DeRozan, who is in the third and final year of his initial $82 million contract. Once that contract expires, DeRozan will be eligible for a four-year extension worth about $179 million.
DeRozan has been a clear leader on and off the court for the Bulls, averaging 26.2 points, five assists and 4.9 rebounds to earn back-to-back All-Star selections. His leadership has been a key to setting the locker-room culture, especially in the guidance of young playersThroughout his tenure in Chicago, DeRozan has been vocal about wanting to remain a Bull. And a four-year extension would keep him in Chicago until he’s 38, making his aspirations of retiring with the team realistic.
