DeMar DeRozan Waived by Sacramento Kings, Enters Free Agency
The Sacramento Kings have officially waived six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan, making him a free agent. This decision follows a failed trade attempt and is part of a salary cap strategy for the team. DeRozan, who was owed a $25.7 million salary with a $10 million guarantee, is now considered a top free agent target, with potential landing spots including the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors, and Detroit Pistons. Speculation surrounds possible reunions with former teammates, particularly in Los Angeles and Toronto.
