Demar is strengthening a HOF bid if you view his career macro. He's gonna be an All-Star and All-Pro again, and you're gonna be able to trace his career with other mid-level stars of his time from PG to Butler to Booker to Klay to Simmons to Tatum to several more, and be able to weigh his game and impact vs others who are assumed HOFers...
And this is a different Demar than Toronto Demar, it's clear as day his feel for the game and control on the court are what's different. Chicago is in a really, really good spot, and the top of The East is wide open. Bulls, Nets, Bucks, Heat are the Big 4, Bulls have as good a chance as any to come out The East...
Demar doesn't have to press with another elite scorer next to him, he's never had that...
