The Chicago Bulls have made a significant move in their rebuilding process, acquiring DeMar DeRozan from the San Antonio Spurs. DeRozan, a four-time All-Star, will sign a three-year, $85 million deal with the Bulls, while the Spurs will receive Thaddeus Young in return.

The move signals a shift in mindset for the Bulls, who have been rebuilding for several years. DeRozan, a veteran of 13 NBA seasons, brings experience and leadership to a young team. He has averaged over 20 points per game in each of the last six seasons and is considered one of the most consistent scorers in the league.
