It’s not clear where he is heading but DeMar DeRozan is probably leaving the Chicago Bulls.
Many players have already moved around the league over the last few days but DeRozan remains with the Bulls, at least for now.
But according to Barry Jackson, a couple of Western Conference teams are in conversation with Chicago about acquiring DeRozan.
Jackson reported that the Sacramento Kings have spoken with the Bulls about a DeRozan sign and trade deal.
Additionally, the San Antonio Spurs are also a possibility when it comes to a new home for the six-time All-Star.
DeRozan is allegedly intrigued by the idea of playing for the Miami Heat but that team apparently doesn’t have what it takes to make the Bulls star happy.
Kings have talked to Bulls about DeRozan sign and trade, per source. Spurs also now another possibility. Despite DeRozan interest in Miami, Heat not in position to give him what he’s seeking at this time… Heat will hope opportunity on some player it wants arises this summer.

DeRozan has spent three seasons playing for the Bulls, becoming the team’s leader and most important player.
He has earned two All-Star appearances during his time in Chicago but the team has struggled to make an impact in the Eastern Conference.
His name has been tossed around at nearly every trade deadline but the Bulls have fiercely held onto DeRozan.
It sounds like that is all changing and now they are open to the idea of shipping him away.
Most people agree that he would work well with either the Kings or the Spurs.
Both teams are younger and on the rise and could benefit from DeRozan’s terrific skills and years of NBA experience.
Either team would have to provide a lot if they are committing to sign and trade deals with Chicago because the Bulls will want multiple assets in return for DeRozan.
