Soul searching begins for the Bulls now that “Heat Culture” swallowed them up yet again in the play-in finale. That soul searching starts with DeMar DeRozan, who will be a free agent this summer and has to unpack some things.

Bulls chipped away to get the lead down to 47-37 at the half.
Still did not do enough to take advantage of cold streaks from the Heat.
DeMar DeRozan leads scoring with 15 points. No one else in double digits. – 8:11 PM

Have asked many of DeMar DeRozan’s teammates why defenders still jump at his pump fake and the answer is always a laugh followed by something along the lines of “I don’t know but I hope they never stop” – 7:49 PM

Bam Adebayo on DeMar DeRozan basically is a concession to allowing DeRozan to fire at will on 3 (which certainly is better than White getting those). – 7:18 PM

More on this storyline
KC Johnson: Artūras Karnišovas said “both sides are interested in continuing” when it comes to an extension for DeMar DeRozan. -via Twitter @KCJHoop / April 20, 2024
Like Donovan, Coby White wants to see DeRozan return. “It would mean everything to this organization, to the fans, to this city,” White said. “As much as he’s done for this organization and to this city and my personal growth, that’s my dawg. He should be paid whatever he wants. It would be important for us to have him back. Me personally, I really want him back. Hopefully they can get everything done.” -via NBC Sports Chicago / April 20, 2024
Asked what he’d like to see management do this offseason, DeRozan didn’t hesitate. “A competitive team. A team that gives us a chance to make a run,” he said. “Since I’ve been here, we’ve dealt with a lot. My first year was a team that we planned on being with. But to lose a star point guard in Zo (Lonzo Ball), Zach (LaVIne) getting hurt later that year, we had all the pieces in play. I don’t know if a black cat ran in front of us or we broke a mirror. But giving us a chance to be competitive and not just a team that fights for a play-in game.” -via NBC Sports Chicago / April 20, 2024
