NBA insider Chris Haynes reports that the Kings are looking to trade six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan following a disappointing season. Should trade talks fail, Sacramento will waive and stretch his contract, as the team shifts focus toward a significant roster overhaul.<\/p>\n

The Sacramento Kings<\/a> are expected to trade six-time All-Star Demar DeRozan<\/a> in the next month, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reports surfaced Tuesday that the Kings are looking to waive-and-stretch DeRozan, who is on a $25.74 million expiring contract.<\/p>\n

Since only $10 million of the deal is guaranteed, that figure can be stretched over the next three seasons.<\/p>\n

However, Haynes noted that Sacramento will attempt to find a trade partner for the 36-year-old by early August; if no deal materializes, the team will proceed with the waive-and-stretch plan.<\/p>\n

DeRozan’s tenure with the Kings <\/p>\n

Following another disappointing season with the Chicago Bulls<\/a>, DeRozan was traded to Sacramento in the 2024 offseason.<\/p>\n

While the prospect of joining forces with De’Aaron Fox<\/a> and Domantas Sabonis<\/a> seemed like a solution for the struggling Kings, the experiment ultimately faltered.<\/p>\n

In his first season in Sacramento, the forward averaged 22.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game.<\/p>\n

Though he helped the Kings secure the tenth seed, their season ended with a play-in tournament loss to the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sacramento finished DeRozan’s second season in 14th place as his averages dropped to 18.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game.<\/p>\n

Sacramento Kings rebuild and Domantas Sabonis trade talks <\/p>\n

The Kings are now seeking to revitalize their roster, with Sabonis emerging as a name in trade talks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sabonis, still recovering from a meniscus tear suffered last November, averaged 15.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 4.1 assists across just 19 appearances.<\/p>\n

Per reports<\/a>, Zach\u00a0<\/a>LaVine<\/a>‘s contract is another piece Sacramento would like to move on from in order to free up cap space for additional moves.<\/p>\n

Limited to 39 games by a right hand injury, the star guard averaged 19.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.<\/p>\n

One potential acquisition is NBA champion Mitchell Robinson<\/a>, as reported back in May<\/a>; Robinson recently helped the New York Knicks<\/a> lift the NBA Finals trophy as a backup center.<\/p>\n
