NEW YORK – Denzel was spot on.
That’s why DeMar DeRozan posted a clip from the movie “Training Day,’’ in which Alonzo Harris – played by actor Denzel Washington – tells Ethan Hawke’s character, “This is a newspaper, right? It’s 90 percent bulls**t, but it’s entertaining. That’s why I read it.’’
A day later, DeRozan decided to add his own words into the mix.
There was a story by Bleacher Report on Thursday, insisting that “rival NBA executives’’ believed DeRozan would ask for a trade at the end of the season if the Bulls couldn’t pull above the hard deck they’ve been flying under so far this season.
