Growing sense Kings pivoting to DeMar DeRozan sign-and-trade
The Pelicans have dangled forward Brandon Ingram in trade talks, and the former No. 2 overall pick has drawn some interest, including from the Sacramento Kings. However, there was a growing sense heading into the weekend that Sacramento would pivot and try to acquire DeMar DeRozan via a sign-and-trade agreement with the Chicago Bulls, league sources told HoopsHype, and as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported.Source: HoopsHype

“DeMar DeRozan is too old”
DeMar DeRozan has played 74 or more games his last 3 seasons, and is averaging 25 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists over those 3 seasons.
The fewest games he’s played in a season during his career is 60. – 11:19 PM

I’ve been skeptical about most of the Kings rumors actually becoming a reality (Ingram & Markkanen especially).
The DeMar DeRozan rumors are the first that I felt were truly possible. Maybe even likely.
Go get him. – 7:43 PM

Woj states plainly:
“DeMar DeRozan had played his last game for the Chicago Bulls.”
Mentions the Kings as a primary suitor, but SAC needs a third team to facilitate a sign-and-trade

More on this storyline
James Ham: League sources confirm that Kings and Bulls have discussed a potential sign and trade for DeMar DeRozan. Trade requires a third team, which is lined up, but there is competition for DeRozan’s services. -via Twitter @James_HamNBA / July 5, 2024
Sean Cunningham: After speaking to several sources over the past 24 hours, I’m told there is “mutual interest” between DeMar DeRozan and the Sacramento Kings. The 34-year-old, 6x All-Star led the NBA in minutes played & 4th quarter scoring last season in Chicago. -via Twitter @SeanCunningham / July 5, 2024
Evan Sidery: The Bulls and Kings are currently in sign-and-trade negotiations involving DeMar DeRozan, per @wojespn : – DeRozan is officially moving on from Chicago with no scenario of re-signing. – Chicago is not willing to take on large salaries in a potential deal, so a third team has to be involved. – Sacramento becomes the favorite to land DeRozan, and it could happen within the next 24-48 hours. -via Twitter @esidery / July 5, 2024
