The Sacramento Kings’ offseason got busier this weekend. They acquired All-Star DeMar DeRozan in a sign-and-trade deal with the Chicago Bulls.
Sacramento acquired DeRozan via a three-team trade with the Bulls and the San Antonio Spurs. After the trade goes through, Sacramento will sign the former All-Star to a three-year deal worth a reported $74 million.
Chris Duarte and Harrison Barnes are also involved in the trade. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the details of the trade on Saturday night.

DeRozan had spent the last three seasons with Chicago. He averaged 25.5 points per game in his three years in the Windy City, earning two All-Star nods in the 2021-22 season and the 2022-23 season. Last year, he finished second in Clutch Player of the Year voting.
DeRozan has six All-Star selections in his career, which stretches all the way back to the 2009-10 season. He’s earned trips with Toronto, San Antonio, and Chicago. We’ll see if he can earn his fourth All-Star trip with a fourth team after he officially joins the Kings this season.
