Read DeMar DeRozan’s full goodbye message to Chicago, Bulls fans

The Bulls finalized a deal to send DeRozan to the Kings on Monday

DeMar DeRozan has officially said goodbye to Chicago. One day after the Bulls finalized the sign and trade deal to send DeRozan to the Kings, the talented scorer posted a farewell message to the city, Bulls fans and the organization.

“And I say Chi City!” DeRozan wrote, in a nod to Ye’s love letter to Chicago, “Homecoming.” “A Thank you would be an understatement. The love, passion & joy you filled me with for 3 seasons was a dream. It gave me a drive every night to return the feeling.

“To the entire organization, front office, coaching staff and to everyone who worked in the United Center, I couldn’t ask for better people. To my teammates, we created a bond that’ll last forever- memories I’ll never forget. I know the nightmares started already knowing you will face me in another jersey, but it’ll only be twice!
