DeMar DeRozan Finalizes Sign-and-Trade Deal with Sacramento Kings
Six-Time All-Star Joins Kings in Three-Year, $74 Million Agreement
Sacramento Welcomes Veteran Guard to Bolster Roster
DeMar DeRozan, a six-time NBA All-Star, has finalized a sign-and-trade deal to join the Sacramento Kings, according to multiple league sources. The three-year, $74 million agreement brings the veteran guard back to his home state of California after spending last season with the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls and Kings have agreed to the terms of the trade, which will see DeRozan leave Chicago and join a promising Kings team led by young stars Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox. The Kings have been eager to add a veteran presence to their roster, and they believe DeRozan's experience and leadership will be invaluable.
DeRozan, a Compton, California native, is known for his consistent scoring and ability to create his own shot. He has averaged over 20 points per game in each of the last six seasons, including 21.1 points per game last season with the Bulls. He is also a skilled rebounder and passer, making him a versatile asset on the court.
The Kings are hoping that DeRozan can help them make a leap forward in the Western Conference. They have not reached the playoffs since 2006, but they have assembled a talented young roster that is eager to compete. DeRozan's addition gives them a proven scorer and leader who can help guide them to success.
