Breaking: DeMar DeRozan is going from the No. 11 he wore with the Bulls to No. 10 with the Sacramento Kings.

                DeMar DeRozan is going from the No. 11 he wore with the Bulls to No. 10 with the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings signed DeRozan for $74 million. Instead of being in the position of rebuilding with the Bulls, he will be a missing component on a team that is capable of making the playoffs because he will be playing for the Kings.

At the end of the day, I am all for winning. “The expression of being wanted and needed; to do something bigger than, you know, just me—I am all for winning.” With that being said, DeRozan stated, “You know, I just want to win at the highest of levels, you know, and me being able to be a part of something the team may be missing to help them take them over that hump, you know, that’s all I needed to see.”

Harrison Barnes and an unprotected first-round pick from the year 2031 were traded to the Spurs by the Kings as part of a three-team sign-and-trade for other players. As compensation for their participation in the transaction, the Bulls were awarded Chris Duarte as well as two second-round picks.

After signing a contract worth $85 million with the Spurs, DeRozan made his move to the Bulls three years ago. The deal was a sign-and-trade agreement between the two teams.
