The Sacramento Kings have been relatively quiet during the NBA offseason, but recent reports suggest that they are actively exploring a potential sign-and-trade deal with the Chicago Bulls for DeMar DeRozan. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Kings have been engaged in discussions with the Bulls, with the need for a third team to facilitate the deal.
Despite interest from other teams, including the Sacramento Kings, DeRozan’s future remains uncertain as the NBA offseason progresses. Chicago is open to assisting DeRozan in landing a more lucrative contract, but they are unwilling to take on additional contracts in a potential trade.
General manager Monte McNair and the Kings front office have a challenging task ahead of them in reshaping the team to compete in the tough Western Conference, and acquiring a player like DeRozan would undoubtedly bolster their efforts. For the Kings, a player of DeRozan’s caliber could be a valuable addition to their roster as they look to make a push for the playoffs next season.
