The Sacramento Kings are pursuing veteran wing DeMar DeRozan in a potential three-team trade, with the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs potentially involved. DeRozan, a six-time All-Star, is meeting with the Kings to discuss a potential sign-and-trade deal. At 35, DeRozan is coming off a strong season with the Bulls, although he did not make the All-Star Game. The Kings, in need of a third star to complement their roster led by Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox, are looking to add DeRozan to bolster their playoff chances. With the Kings likely having to part with at least one key player in a sign-and-trade, their roster could feature a strong core of Sabonis, Fox, DeRozan, Malik Monk, and Keegan Murray. While it remains unclear if this move would make the Kings championship contenders, they would be a competitive force in the deep Western Conference.
