First of all comment on what you think about the trade and if you think it is fair.
Once this is said I will explain what I think the Bulls need, first of all I know I do not want to extend DeRozan the reason is very simple, I think the Bulls have to rebuild as simple as that and as the idea is to do what I would do if I were the Bulls GM that is why I do this once this is clear we will analyze the situation of the Bulls.
