Marc Stein: Sacramento continues its pursuit of DeMar DeRozan via sign-and-trade and San Antonio has emerged as a potential third-team facilitator, league sources say. The Kings have chased DeRozan this week and Chicago is willing to facilitate a sign-and-trade but insists on a third team in the deal to take in salary.Source: Twitter @TheSteinLine

With the Devonte Graham trade, the Spurs have close to $20 million in cap space, which is enough to take on Harrison Barnes or Kevin Huerter’s salary.
The Bulls, Kings and Spurs are making the money work on the backend in order to complete this DeMar DeRozan sign-and-trade. pic.twitter.com/yD4FHicWD5 – 1:33 PM

DeMar DeRozan is expected to be in Sacramento today visiting the Kings as a sign-and-trade agreement with the Bulls closes in, per @damienbarling.
The Spurs are the likely third team involved as the facilitator helping Sacramento.

“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

After speaking to several sources over the past 24 hours, I’m told there is “mutual interest” between DeMar DeRozan and the Sacramento Kings.

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

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 pic.twitter.com/OAH9iPxoBG – 2:37 PM
