Trade Number 3: The Chicago Bulls trade DeMar DeRozan to the Golden State Warriors
There has been a lot of talk about whether or not the Golden State Warriors will keep their core around. Specifically, the chatter has been regarding veteran forward Draymond Green who has a player option for this coming season.
The Warriors are still a talented team, and as long as Stephen Curry is on the floor, this group always has a chance to win. But, if they were to somehow add someone like DeRozan, the Warriors would immediately become one of the favorites to win it all this coming season.
Since coming to Golden State, Andrew Wiggins has really come into his own as a complete player. He wasn’t quite the bust people thought he was in Minnesota, but instead has blossomed into knowing exactly how he can help a team win, and he’s done a good job.
But, DeRozan is a higher quality player right now and would help the Warriors win a title right away. Wiggins is still only 28 years old and could be part of the Bulls’ future plans, and in addition, the Bulls get a first-round pick this year coming in at no. 19 overall.
