The two teams and the DeRozan camp are trying to work out a sign-and-trade, though some obstacles still need to be worked out, as we reported on Friday.

The six-time All-Star and the Bulls have officially declared an end to their relationship, and he will be moving on, apparently imminently.

DeRozan, a 25-point-per-game scorer, would be a huge piece for the Kings at forward, as they try to add to their All-Star pairing of guard De'Aaron Fox and center Domantas Sabonis, and get to the next level in the Western Conference.

The Kings snapped a 16-year playoff drought in 2023 when they went 48-34 before losing in the first round. This past season, they won 46 games, and lost in the play-in.
