According to ESPN’s Zach Lowe, the Sacramento Kings are rumored to be pursuing guard DeMar DeRozan in free agency. DeRozan had a standout season with the Chicago Bulls and is being considered as a potential addition to the Kings’ roster.
The Kings see the addition of DeRozan as a way to boost their offensive capabilities, easing the scoring burden on players like Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox. However, they face competition from other teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat, who are also vying for his services.
DeRozan’s six-time NBA All-Star status makes him highly sought after by many teams, but the Kings are determined to make a compelling offer to bring him to Sacramento. While the Kings have shown improvement in recent years, they still need to take it up a notch if they want to compete with the top teams in the Western Conference. Signing a player of DeRozan’s caliber could be a game-changer for Sacramento, helping them make a push towards playoff success. The last time the Kings won a playoff series was in 2003-2004 NBA season and adding DeRozan could help them make a deeper postseason run in future seasons.
