NBA Rumors: DeMar DeRozan linked to the Los Angeles Clippers

Sacramento Kings is a real disaster that needs to sell, while Los Angeles Clippers are a graveyard of elephants eager to buy. Thus, NBA rumors have emerged between both Californian franchises, specifically involving DeMar DeRozan. At 36 years old, and according to various league sources, the veteran forward is generating some interest from LA's underdog. His contract for the upcoming season includes a partial guarantee close to 10 million out of the total 25.7 million dollars, a contractual detail that could facilitate discussions if the Clippers decide to explore this avenue.

Another relevant case is that of Malik Monk. The shooting guard, whose name already surfaced in talks last summer for a possible exchange with Golden State for Jonathan Kuminga, is once again in the rumor mill. Monk is committed to 41.7 million dollars for the next two seasons, including a player option for 2027-28. The possibility of reopening negotiations with the Warriors does not seem ruled out.

Other Moves in the Kings

In Sacramento, there is also interest around a much younger player. Keon Ellis, a fourth-year shooting guard with an expiring contract of 2.3 million dollars, is seen by numerous teams as one of the most attractive assets of the Kings. His recent development and the low cost of his current deal make him a compelling target for multiple franchises looking to strengthen their perimeter without compromising their salary cap flexibility.
