The San Antonio Spurs failed to make it to the postseason for the first time in 23 years. With the NBA entering its offseason, coach Gregg Popovich is going to go for a rebuild to put the Spurs back in the race for the championship. And according to trade rumors, DeMar DeRozan might be the veteran player up for the trade, as he was speculated to be unhappy with the Spurs. But looks like DeMar disagrees. Even when the Toronto Raptors traded DeMar, he expressed that he wasn’t happy with that decision. Despite being loyal, they traded him off. Although DeMar performed decently this season, he hasn’t been able to fit very well with the Spurs. With just one year to go in his contract, DeMar could be up for trade in the San Antonio Spurs. The rumors came about when an anonymous NBA agent claimed that DeMar isn’t happy with the Spurs. Entering this offseason, if he leaves, then the Detroit Pistons would be a probable destination for the vet. However, DeMar has refused these accusations subtly on his Instagram. SAN ANTONIO SPURS VETERAN DECLINES RUMORS DeMar went on Instagram and posted [https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnegyxnLhi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link] a hilarious video of a confused man. The Clip contained the caption “Me trying to figure out when I said that shit.” This clearly showed that the claims made by the NBA agent are most likely false, and DeMar never said that. But, if it’s true and the Spurs do trade him, then what could be the reason? DeRozan might be great at scoring and passing, but his defense is not up to the mark. Lacking both defensively and offensively, the team can’t put up with that for very long. And if the Pistons end up taking him, what does their future look like? They could form a trio with Derrick Rose [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/derrick-rose/] and Blake Griffin. Since DeMar hasn’t been able to settle well with the Spurs, this might look like a good option for him. Do you think DeMar will stay with the Spurs on land up with the Pistons?

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>DeMar DeRozan 2021: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</strong></h2>
DeMar DeRozan is the superstar small forward for the Chicago Bulls. In an era where three-point shooting has become a must in the league, DeRozan has found a way to dominate the game without having an effective jump shot, making him one of the most unique players in the league right now.

Playing for the USC Trojans in the 2008-09 season, DeRozan had a slow start to his collegiate career. But eventually the 6'7" forward gained confidence and started putting up great numbers. By the end of the season, DeRozan was one of the top performers for the teams as he <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/southern-california/2009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 13.9 points, 1.5 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game.

[caption id="attachment_815967" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-815967" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-10-06T013313Z_809955587_MT1USATODAY16897693_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PRESEASON-CLEVELAND-CAVALIERS-AT-CHICAGO-BULLS-1.jpg" alt="DeMar DeRozan" width="1920" height="1280" /> Oct 5, 2021; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (11) brings the ball up court against the Cleveland Cavaliers during the first half of a preseason NBA game at United Center.

Given his stats and his late step up in his only collegiate season, draft stock was high for the 20-year-old. Coming up alongside the likes of Stephen Curry and James Harden, DeRozan's draft class was stacked, to say the least.

The 20-year-old ended up becoming the 9th lottery pick and was picked up by the Toronto Raptors.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the Toronto Raptors</h2>
While DeRozan was a lottery pick for the Raptors, unlike his peers, his playtime was limited. Playing off of the bench, DeRozan became a decent rotational player chipping in with averages of 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game in 21 minutes of playtime.

But the departure of superstar Chris Bosh was certainly the biggest game changer for DeRozan and the Raptors organisation. Losing their star, the Raptors found themselves in a rebuilding phase. With a pick like DeRozan in their hands, the franchise took the chance on the sophomore and made him a starter.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-124203" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/486173711-demar-derozan-and-kyle-lowry-of-the-toronto-raptors.jpg.CROP_.promo-xlarge2.jpg" alt="" width="1180" height="842" />

The forward's quality certainly showed up, as his statistics saw a massive jump. <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01/gamelog/2011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Averaging</a> 17.2 points, 1.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game, his stats nearly doubled, and the franchise knew they had a star in hand.

Over the next few years, the team brought in a second star in Kyle Lowry. Like DeRozan, Lowry started off with middling stats but eventually gained confidence and saw a jump in his numbers as well. With the duo DeRozan and Lowry about to hit their peak, the Raptors became a contender in the East yet again.

DeRozan certainly was the star man of the show, averaging more than 20  points per game for four seasons in a row and leading the team to multiple top three finishes in the regular season. But this success did not translate in the post-season.

With their championship window dwindling, the Raptors made a drastic and polarizing decision as they traded off DeRozan to the Spurs and brought in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kawhi-leonard/">Kawhi Leonard</a> instead.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the San Antonio Spurs</h2>
After being traded away from Toronto, DeRozan certainly wasn't impressed with a move to away from the Raptors. But an opportunity to play under the guidance of Gregg Popovich was an enticing prospect nonetheless.

Initially, DeRozan continued to put up his usual stats with the Spurs and even led them to appearances in the playoffs. But his game did change quite a lot with the Spurs, eventually.

[caption id="attachment_568357" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-568357" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210301120640/2021-02-28T021606Z_633818399_MT1USATODAY15643786_RTRMADP_3_NBA-NEW-ORLEANS-PELICANS-AT-SAN-ANTONIO-SPURS.jpg" alt="San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan" width="1920" height="1280" /> Feb 27, 2021; San Antonio, Texas, USA; San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (10) dribbles in against New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Bledsoe (5) in the first half at the AT&amp;T Center. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

While the mid-range continued to be his primary weapon to score the ball, his passing certainly was much better now as he had career highs in his playmaking numbers. But the Spurs were also moving to a new era and did not want to retain DeRozan in the 2021 off-season. This meant that a new destination awaited the 32-year-old.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan with the Chicago Bulls</h2>
In the 2021 free agency, DeRozan was one of the biggest names alongside his longtime friend Kyle Lowry. Being linked to moves to contenders like Los Angeles Lakers, DeRozan even admitted that he would love to play for LA.

But with Lakers making a swing for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/russell-westbrook/">Russell Westbrook</a>, that chapter was closed. While he could have signed for a lesser role with other contenders, DeRozan knew he had a lot left in the tank and signed on with the Chicago Bulls.

[caption id="attachment_815968" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-815968 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-10-26T022315Z_1817913985_MT1USATODAY17028160_RTRMADP_3_NBA-CHICAGO-BULLS-AT-TORONTO-RAPTORS.jpg" alt="Bulls' DeMar DeRozan" width="1920" height="1291" /> Oct 25, 2021; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Chicago Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan (11) goes to the basket over Toronto Raptors forwards Scottie Barnes (4) and Precious Achiuwa (5) in the second half at Scotiabank Arena. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

The Bulls who have transformed their team have been formidable so far this season. In the 11 games they played, they have simply been unstoppable winning 8 games and all of them have been in dominant fashion. With a much more balanced team around him, DeRozan has flourished and has established himself as the <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/2022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lead scorer</a> for the team. If the Bulls can carry on this momentum, they might turn out to be a dark horse contender in the near future.

<p style="text-align: center">1x Olympic Champion (2016)</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan stats</h2>
In the 13 seasons and 892 games he has played, DeRozan has been one of the stars of the league and has <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/d/derozde01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 20.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

Currently with the Bulls, DeRozan has been on a tear. In the 11 games he has played so far, the 32-year-old has led the Bulls in scoring averaging  26.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan contract</h2>
After serving out his five-year contract for worth $139 million, DeMar was a free agent in the 2021 free agency. The Bulls certainly were interested in the forward.

Ahead of 2021-22 season, DeRozan signed a very lucrative 3-year <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/chicago-bulls/demar-derozan-6327/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contract</a> worth $81 million. In the current season, the 32-year-old is set to earn around $26 million.

Although the deal was considered a costly one, given DeRozan's current form, it seems like a steal. If the veteran continues to perform at such a high level, an extension might be a viable option next season.
<h2 style="text-align: center">DeMar DeRozan's net worth</h2>
According to <a href="https://wealthygorilla.com/demar-derozan-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wealthy Gorilla</a>, DeMar DeRozan has an estimated net worth of $23 million.
