The San Antonio Spurs are reportedly involved in a three-team trade that would send DeMar DeRozan from the Chicago Bulls to the Sacramento Kings ¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵. The Kings have been pursuing DeRozan and are believed to be in serious talks with the Bulls to acquire him in a sign-and-trade deal. The Spurs are expected to be the third team involved in the trade, which would help facilitate the deal.
The trade is complex, with the Kings not having enough cap space to offer DeRozan a fair market value contract ¹. The Bulls are also unwilling to take on expensive contracts, making a third team necessary to absorb some of the salary. The Spurs, with around $20 million in cap space, are well-positioned to facilitate the trade.
DeRozan, a six-time All-Star, averaged 24 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game last season with the Bulls ² ³ ⁴ ⁵. He is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Kings as part of the sign-and-trade agreement. The trade would be a significant move for the Kings, who are looking to improve their roster after a play-in loss last season.
