The deal was made official for the Chicago Bulls acquiring star shooting guard/forward DeMar DeRozan from the San Antonio Spurs on the afternoon of Aug. 11. The Bulls originally had the move announced in the media that the team would be signing DeRozan during the week of the free agency negotiation window, specifically on Aug. 4.
What the Bulls gave up to get the veteran DeRozan included veteran forward Thaddeus Young, forward Al-Farouq Aminu, two second-round draft picks, and a future first-round draft pick. That was a lot for executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley to give up to get DeRozan.
