Kings officially acquire DeMar DeRozan in three-way deal with Bulls and Spurs
The Sacramento Kings announced today that the team has acquired six-time NBA All-Star and three-time All-NBA guard-forward DeMar DeRozan in a three-team sign-and-trade with the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs. As part of the deal, Sacramento sent Chris Duarte, two second-round picks and cash considerations to Chicago, and Harrison Barnes and a 2031 pick swap to San Antonio.

“We are thrilled to bring Chris Duarte into the mix here with his experience, versatility and offensive abilities,” said Executive Vice President – Basketball Operations Artūras Karnišovas. “We thank DeMar for everything he has done for our team as a leader and mentor. Everyone inside our building appreciated and respected DeMar’s professionalism and commitment to this organization and the city of Chicago, and we wish him the best in Sacramento.”
Harrison Barnes traded to San Antonio in DeMar DeRozan deal
Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources with @TimBontemps: The Sacramento Kings are agreed on a sign-and-trade that will land DeMar DeRozan on a three-year deal, send Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs and Chris Duarte, two second-round picks and cash to the Chicago Bulls.
The Kings also cannot aggregate the contract of recently acquired Jalen McDaniels. Thus, the strongest possible team Sacramento could put together would have them combine Chris Duarte and a signed-and-traded Kessler Edwards, but the Kings could only pay DeRozan a maximum of $15 million in 2024-25 and still sign a 14th player and remain below the apron. To go beyond that for DeRozan, into the $20 million a year range that one presumes might be necessary to seal a long-term deal, requires a) trading one of Kevin Huerter or Harrison Barnes, or b) aggregating Duarte and Lyles. Barnes and Huerter are signed beyond this season, however, and the Bulls likely are looking for expiring money in return for DeRozan.
The Dominican Republic was without Karl-Anthony Towns and Al Horford for the FIBA OQT. However, the Sacramento Kings guard Chris Duarte shone for the losing side, scoring 26 points and making 5 of his 8 three-point attempts.
