A proposed blockbuster trade could see six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan joining the Miami Heat, as the Sacramento Kings enter a rebuilding phase. DeRozan, who signed a three-year, $74 million contract with the Kings in 2024, is reportedly being considered for trade as the team retools its roster.
The Miami Heat, aiming to strengthen their lineup around Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, are viewed as a potential destination for DeRozan. A proposed trade package includes the Heat acquiring DeRozan and guard Terence Davis in exchange for Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Pelle Larsson, and a 2028 first-round pick.
Despite being 35, DeRozan continues to perform at a high level, averaging 22.2 points per game last season. His mid-range scoring ability could complement Miami’s existing core, providing the offensive boost needed after the team’s early playoff exit.
For the Kings, acquiring young talents like Jaquez and Larsson, along with a future first-round pick, aligns with their rebuilding strategy. Robinson’s expiring contract could also offer financial flexibility.
While the trade remains speculative, it presents a scenario where both teams address their current needs: Miami adds a seasoned scorer, and Sacramento gains assets for the future.
