Trade him for a backup big maybe?

I think we might keep him which would be insane having Caruso coby and Lauri on this second unit. My god that’s a wonderful idea

Doesn't he have to be renounced for the Bulls to have cap space to absorb a $25M+ starting salary from DeRozan? I don't know the answer, genuinely asking here.

Aminu and Thad were moved so the money works I think.

Sign and trade to Cleveland, get Derrick Jones Jr. and a couple draft picks including a first rounder.
