It was quite the star turn for Bulls’ wing stud DeMar DeRozan to start the week.
Aside from making headlines with his play—scoring 35 and 38 points, respectively, in double-digit road victories over the Clippers and Lakers—DeRozan also made waves in a Yahoo Sports interview, saying he thought he was headed to Los Angeles to play for the purple-and-gold until the Russell Westbrook trade took place.
The news likely struck a chord with a subset of frustrated Lakers fans, given the darkhorse MVP numbers DeRozan was putting up for the resurgent, new-look Bulls.
