Sacramento Kings expected to part ways with DeMar DeRozan soon
Summary

The Sacramento Kings anticipate reaching a buyout agreement with All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan in the coming days. This move aligns with the team's shift towards a youth movement, led by point guard Darius Acuff Jr. DeRozan, coming off a season averaging 18.4 points, has a partially guaranteed contract for $25.74 million next season. The Kings sought to trade him this summer but found no takers for his contract. Once a free agent, DeRozan may attract interest from several contenders or potentially the Los Angeles Clippers.
