[Woj] ESPN Sources with @TimBontemps: The Sacramento Kings are agreed on a sign-and-trade that will land DeMar DeRozan on a three-year deal, send Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs and Chris Duarte, two second-round picks and cash to the Chicago Bulls.

Happy for DeMar. That contract is a great deal for the Kings too
At his age, should have chased a ring on a better team. Sad end to his career
I’m happy for Demar Kings were actually decent last year
Kings shouldn’t have messed up the Siakam trade. Fox and Siakam pairing would’ve been better than Fox and DD.
Barnes is kind of a drag, addition by subtraction.
Couldn’t even get on a LA team, I guess they didn’t want you to come back home demar lmaoo
Gonna be honest: I think this trade is a mistake for the Kings
Yes the overall cost is low (It’s not like they had much to trade aside from Keegan) but they needed to add more defensive wings/center depth but instead they doubled down on offense – and on a player known for being a poor defender – who isn’t an outside threat
I love DeMar and i’m happy he got one last payday but this is a horrendous fit next to Sabonis, and I think Sacramento will regret this very soon (and if Fox’s shooting regress it’ll look even worse)
EDIT: The above doesn’t mention this but the Spurs got an **unprotected pick swap in 2032**: [https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1809775079846228207](https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1809775079846228207)
Play in RAPTOR NATION
Derozan would make 300 million plus after this deal career earnings
Great career
I know they’re rebuilding and getting picks but damn Chicago’s just picking up that phone high off their minds and accepting anything.
Bulls got 2 2nds for taking on Duarte.
That’s the type of stuff cap space gets you.
Going back to Cali….
Happy he got his money. Would have loved to see him go somewhere with a chance to win tho
Can Kyle Lowry get on a Vet deal and The Kings win the NBA championship next year?
But it looks like I am buying a DeMar Kings jersey.
Spurs get a 2031 unprotected pick swap from the Kings for absorbing Harrison Barnes, a slightly below average PF with two years left on his deal. Would’ve been a fine depth piece for the bench.
Fucking hell, why can’t we make moves like this? I don’t get it…
If we don’t pick up Bruce’s option we could have had Harrison Barnes and an unprotected pick swap with the Kings? Hoping Masai surprises me because I doubt we do better than that
Should’ve just traded for Siakam last season. Kings going to play zero defence. Still a play-in team in my opinion.
welcome home comp10!
Woohoo glad to see DeMar on a potential contender. That’s a solid fit for him and a whole lot of talent to work with.
Why no1 wanan trade with us man? Cmon teams, take Brown/Boucher off of us.
This is great situation for DeMar. He gets to play in California, and he’s finally back on a competitive team.
Don’t think it moves the needle for Sacramento though.
