It seems that the Chicago Bulls and the player DeMar DeRozan are facing complications in finding a consensus in negotiations on a possible extension of the player’s contract. The information given by the journalist Shams Charaniafrom “The Athletic”, states that both parties do not agree on “several fronts”, such as salary and duration of the contract.
According to reports, the franchise would like to keep the player, who is in the final season of his three-year, $81.9 million contract, either through a renewal or free agency. However, the 34-year-old would like to see how the season with the Bulls unfolds.
The season started on the wrong foot, with a very tough 20-point defeat by 124 to 104 against Oklahoma City Thunder, last Wednesday, 25th. The result led to a meeting with just the players being held in the locker room. Six times All-StarDeMar DeRozan is averaging 26.22 points, 5 assists and 4.9 rebounds during his time with the team.
