Demar DeRozan I played Furious in 2021.
The Chicago Bulls The star told JJ Redick on the “The Old Man and The Three” podcast this week that he made it his mission to play better against teams that offered him bad deals during an off-season. He didn’t name names, but DeRozan said some teams offered him a veteran’s minimum or mid-level exception. This made him disrespectful.
“You pissed me off,” DeRozan said. “I tried to make it clear, especially when I’m playing with certain teams. … It’s easy to tell because I made it a personal vendetta against a handful of teams for sure. It’s clear. It was a huge motivational effort that he-she took.”
“As the season approached, the quote I kept reading every day was a quote from The Godfather: ‘The best way to deliver revenge is cold.’ And I stuck with that. That was my whole mindset every time I went out to play.”
Now, we can go back to DeRozan’s game history as Redick suggested (And someone already did it) to determine which teams DeRozan . can Probably be a reference here.

“I’m looking at my phone like, ‘Damn, that happened. Well, I guess that’s out the window. DeRozan He said On Redick’s podcast. “In my opinion, that was the only option for me to go with. I was sold on it. Agreed. I didn’t even think of anything else because I let this situation work itself out. So when I see the trade happen, I know there is no way for me to To go to the Lakers at this point. So now it’s scramble mode.”
This eventually led to DeRozan’s move to Chicago, a team he said was one of his top three options. DeRozan’s only concerns with the Bulls were their primary position and whether Zach Lavigne He wanted to stay in Chicago. After LaVine assured DeRozan that he would re-sign and the bulls completed the signing and trading Lonzo PoolDeRozan landed in Chicago in the brand and trade of San Antonio Spurs.
