Last summer, the Kings made a splash by acquiring six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan via a sign-and-trade with the Chicago Bulls, but his debut season in Sacramento was not as successful as he likely hoped.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_wyofkkbdg\">DeRozan averaged 22.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game this season, but the 35-year-old&#8217;s time in the NBA is winding down, and he is likely ready to move on from the Kings&#8217; organization, which has a minimal sense of direction.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_yvrc2m2xd\">Last week, it was reported that the Kings were expected to explore potential trade options for DeRozan, helping the veteran forward find his next stop after a one-year stint in Sacramento.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_g0bjsz9i8\">DeRozan is certainly past his prime, but he showed he still has some gas left in the tank after a productive year 16.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_3lk8sgrlz\">The Kings ended their 2024-25 campaign much sooner than they hoped, losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the play-in tournament, and the veteran forward seems to have taken a break since their season-ending loss over a month ago.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_3g7v27yg2\">DeRozan took to Instagram to share a hilarious post about returning to the gym after a month-long break, showing off his struggle of getting back at it.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_77bfovrhe\">Via DeMar DeRozan: &#8220;Current Mood-first day back at it\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_90jd2j55j\"><\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_9m5kml7oj\">DeRozan&#8217;s post got plenty of attention, including reactions from Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and a few former NBA players who found the video funny.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_nxmn7c2mc\">Via LeBron James: &#8220;\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_tx1gdx1dx\">Via Matt Barnes: &#8220;\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_1olqvmhfa\">Via Leandro Barbosa: &#8220;\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_3i0orf4oy\">Via Quentin Richardson: &#8220;\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_jzomi702t\">James is, of course, a physical anomaly at age 40, but he seems to still relate to DeRozan&#8217;s post. With DeRozan trade rumors circulating and the veteran star from Los Angeles, we could even see him teaming up with James as early as next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sacramento Kings had an underwhelming 2024-25 season, going just 40-42 and missing out on the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
