DeMar DeRozan has signed a three-year contract worth $74 million with the Sacramento Kings in a three-team sign-and-trade deal. The Kings are trading Harrison Barnes and other assets to acquire the six-time All-Star guard, who is known for his scoring abilities and clutch performances. DeRozan will join forces with De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis to bolster the Kings' offense in the competitive Western Conference. At 35 years old, DeRozan is coming off an impressive season with the Bulls, where he averaged 24 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. His addition is seen as a significant move for the Kings, who are looking to build on their recent success under coach Mike Brown. The deal also sees Barnes moving to the San Antonio Spurs, adding depth to their roster.
