On July 7, Beijing time, the NBA free market has been opened, in which Mavericks general manager Harrison said that Klay's championship experience and big heart performance are all needed to compete for the championship, and the president of the Knicks talked about the bridge, and he is very happy to join a player of this level, he is great on and off the court. Just now, for 3 years and 70 million US dollars, the Sacramento Kings and the Chicago Bulls reached a five-for-one deal, and DeMar DeRozan officially teamed up with Sabonis, and also announced that he would not be able to partner LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
According to the latest report from Woshen, due to James Harden's contract extension to the Los Angeles Clippers and Klay Thompson joining the Dallas Mavericks, the curtain has officially come down on DeMar DeRozan's whereabouts, and there is a final destination, with the Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, and San Antonio Spurs reaching a five-for-one three-way deal. It is important to emphasize that the Sacramen Kings sent Harris Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for the addition of DeMar Rozan, and the Chicago Bulls received Duarte, two second-round picks, and cash.
It is worth mentioning that DeMar DeRozan, who plays for the Chicago Bulls in the 2023-2024 season, played a total of 79 games in the regular season, averaging 24 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. On the other hand, playing for the Sacramento Kings, Harris Barnes played a total of 82 games in the regular season, averaging 12.2 points, 3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
You must know that after DeMar Rozan officially joined the Sacramento Kings, he chose to reach a three-year $70 million contract with the team management, with an average annual salary of about $23.33 million. After the completion of the DeMard Rozan deal, for the Los Angeles Lakers, their dream of forming a Big Three was completely shattered, and for superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the last hope was gone, and it was very difficult to break out of the West and compete for the championship in the new season.
Now, with the Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, and San Antonio Spurs, a five-for-one three-way deal has been reached, by sending away champion small forward Harris Barnes, Duarte, two second-round picks, and some cash in exchange for DeMar DeRozan, to join forces with Sabonis to form the youngest Big Three in the West, and strive to break out of the West to win the championship. It should be noted that DeMar DeRozan's joining the Kings means that the Los Angeles Lakers are completely out of the game and have no chance to partner LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
