“Toronto will always be No. 1, first of all,” DeRozan said, smiling. “But, I’ve got to put Chicago second because, mentally, of the space I was in after I got traded (to San Antonio). San Antonio helped my profession a lot. However, the place I used to be with my pleasure mentally, I used to be going by a lot stuff personally. “So, to sort of have a renewed ambition coming to Chicago … I bear in mind the primary assembly I had with (govt vice chairman of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas) and (basic supervisor) Marc (Eversley). They stated, ‘Come right here and simply be you.’ For that to translate to me being an All-Star, to doing all of the unbelievable issues I did right here, it simply exhibits you that in case you stick with one thing, it’s going to repay you. It gave me a renewed ambition coming again right here.”
