NBA Rumors: We tell you the future of DeMar DeRozan

The future of DeMar DeRozan appears to be far from Sacramento. After two disappointing seasons for the Kings, everything indicates that the franchise and the veteran small forward are close to reaching an agreement to terminate his contract, allowing him to become a free agent and choose his next destination in the NBA freely.

According to journalist Jake Fischer, both parties expect to close a termination agreement in the next few days. The operation would facilitate the departure of a player who had already expressed his desire to leave the franchise as soon as possible.

This intention had already been revealed by Kelly Iko, who stated that DeRozan was looking to expedite his departure, either through termination of contract or via trade.

The contractual situation of the six-time All-Star favors this possibility. Although he is signed for a salary of 25.7 million dollars for the upcoming season, only a portion of that amount is guaranteed, allowing Sacramento to free up financial space relatively easily.

If he becomes free, DeRozan would become one of the most attractive names in the market. At 36 years old, he remains a high-level scorer and a player capable of creating offensive advantages for both himself and his teammates.

The season of DeRozan

During the last season, he averaged 18.3 points per game, a lower figure compared to previous seasons where he had surpassed the 20-point mark for twelve consecutive seasons. Throughout his career, he maintains averages of 21.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game.

His profile continues to be highly valued by teams seeking experience and scoring from the perimeter, particularly due to his mastery of mid-range play, one of his main trademarks. However, his low volume of three-pointers and defensive limitations make his fit dependent on the context and needs of each roster.
