When the Bulls had their season come to an end, he spoke about his future when he met with the media (h/t NBA TV).

Via DeRozan on April 19: "The next time I play a game will be my 16th season. You realize the window closes for you personally. I ain’t trying to play 25 years or nothing like that. You want to have the opportunity to give everything great in you an opportunity. My stance on wanting to be here is still the same but I just want to win."
