DeRozan will sign a three-year, $76 million contract with the Kings after Sacramento agreed to a sign-and-trade with the Bulls and the Spurs,
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN of ESPN reports.
ANALYSISThe deal will be a three-team agreement, and while it appears the Kings will win this trade on paper, they will also send
Harrison Barnes to San Antonio and then
Chris Duarte plus two second-round picks and cash to Chicago. The presence of DeRozan should make the Kings a true contender in the Western Conference, as he'll form a Big Three with
De'Aaron Fox and
Domantas Sabonis. DeRozan averaged 24.0 points, 5.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign across 79 regular-season appearances.
