The Chicago Bulls have said farewell to DeMar DeRozan as the Sacramento Kings acquire the 34-year-old guard in a three-year, $74 million sign-and-trade deal. DeRozan’s move to the Kings forms a new Big 3 alongside All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox and All-Star center Domantas Sabonis. The trade sees Sacramento sending forward Harrison Barnes and an unprotected 2031 pick swap to the San Antonio Spurs, while guard Chris Duarte, two second-round draft picks, and cash are sent to the Bulls. DeRozan, a six-time All-Star, joins his fourth NBA team after standout years with the Bulls, earning All-Star nods and being a finalist for the NBA’s Clutch Player of the Year Award. The Spurs gain Barnes, a solid offensive player, to play alongside Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama, while the Bulls welcome the young guard Duarte to their roster.
