The DeMar DeRozan era is officially over in San Antonio. The Spurs have agreed to a sign-and-trade sending the star wing to the Bulls for Thaddeus Young, Al-Farouq Aminu, a first round pick and two second round picks.
The transaction is surprising. There were rumors that Chicago could be an option for a DeRozan sign-and-trade, but that speculation centered on Lauri Markkanen being the return for the Spurs. This haul is much more impressive than that. San Antonio not only got two veteran forwards on expiring contracts that could give them minutes if necessary, but also draft capital for a player they were expected to move on from anyway.
