I’m not coming to play with you all’. However, I told you: ‘if you come to the Warriors, we can win a title’. Well, you didn’t come and we still won the title. I had to swing it “, Launched the quadruple champion NBA in comments relayed by Basketball Session.

He’s having fun in Chicago
Ultimately, DeMar DeRozan declined the offer of Draymond Green and chose to join the Chicago Bulls. The former player Raptors perhaps did not want to be involved with such a trio of stars. Whatever, DeMar DeRozan cannot regret his choice. HAS Chicago, the 32-year-old fullback has become an idol, he has even seen his name associated with the MVP title several times, a great first for him. Even if he does not yet have the slightest title of champion NBA on his list, DeMar DeRozan still has time to change things.
