The most recent years of DeMar DeRozan's career, who will now play for the Sacramento Kings with De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis after being traded by the Chicago Bulls in the 2024 NBA Free Agency via Sign&Trade, could have been very different for the 35-year-old player.
In 2021, DeRozan was on the brink of signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, but the arrival of Russell Westbrook ultimately prevented it from happening. He stated in an interview for Lou Williams' podcast, "It was almost a done deal before Russ went there. It caught me off guard. It was close."
