The Sacramento Kings waived veteran guard DeMar DeRozan on Monday, making him a free agent.
A six-time All-Star who has started at least 74 games in each of the past five seasons and 77 apiece in his two years with the Kings, DeRozan became a casualty of a rebuilding franchise creating financial flexibility.
Now he’s one of the top free agents on the market.
The 36-year-old DeRozan averaged 20.3 points, 4.3 assists and 3.4 rebounds playing 33.6 minutes per game during his two seasons with Sacramento
