It was clear last night that the Bulls are making a concerted effort to shoot more threes and at times it looked pretty good with Coby driving and dishing, and guys swinging it around the perimeter for the open shot. But DeMar just doesn’t fit with that approach. It’s not his game and he never looked comfortable being part of those sequences. (Patrick Williams isn’t a great fit for this either but you can maybe live with him as the worst and most reluctant shooter on the floor.) It didn’t surprise me at all when I saw that DeMar was -29 for the game despite having decent numbers.

I love DeMar and I’ll always have a place for him in my heart after his late game heroics two seasons ago, but he’s on the last year of his deal and he doesn’t fit the offensive gameplan. And most importantly, he still likely has some trade value. So I say trade him while we can and get another shooter into the lineup. Even if it’s Torrey Craig or Jevon Carter but ideally someone better and younger than them we could get in the trade.
