DeMar DeRozan Chooses Kings Over Lakers, Sixers, and Heat in Free Agency

DeRozan cites Sacramento's winning culture and talented roster as key factors in his decision.

DeMar DeRozan signed a three-year, $73.9 million deal with the Sacramento Kings after considering multiple teams.
The six-time All-Star was drawn to the Kings' 'contagious culture' and their recent success under head coach Mike Brown.
DeRozan seriously considered joining the Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, and Miami Heat.
LeBron James was willing to take a pay cut to help the Lakers sign DeRozan, but the deal did not materialize.
DeRozan joins a Kings team featuring All-Stars De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, aiming to build on their recent playoff appearances.
