The Kings are rumored to be pursuing guard DeMar DeRozan in free agency, according to ESPN’s Zach Lowe. DeRozan, who had a strong season with the Chicago Bulls, is being considered by Sacramento as a potential addition to their roster. The addition of DeRozan could provide the Kings with a boost on the offensive end, easing the scoring burden on players like Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox.
Though the Kings are interested in signing DeRozan, they face competition from other teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat. DeRozan’s six-time NBA All-Star status makes him a highly sought-after free agent, and the Kings are vying to make a compelling offer to bring him to Sacramento.
While the Kings have shown improvement in recent years, they still have a way to go 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 to make a push towards playoff success. The last time the Kings won a playoff series was in the 2003-2004 NBA season, and the addition of DeRozan could help them make a deeper postseason run in the future.
