According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings are signing Doug McDermott to a one-year deal. The money was never made public.

This roster move comes after Tuesday’s trade getting rid of Jalen McDaniels to clear salary and for roster flexibility.

McDermott, who is 32 years old, played for the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers last season. With Indiana, he averaged 4.2 points in 11.3 minutes. With San Antonio, he averaged 6.0 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 15.2 minutes.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, De’Aaron Fox is not entertaining this offseason/preseason’s three-year, $165 million extension. The 26-year-old is setting his eyes on a bigger prize.

There are two options on the table for him: the first option would be a four-year, $229 million maximum extension Fox could sign with Sacramento during the 2025 offseason. The second option would be a five-year, $345 million supermax if he makes an All-NBA team this season.

It is important to note that both sides want to keep the relationship going, as Fox has been publicly and privately loyal to this organization. Management and ownership have given Fox exclusive abilities to be able to influence who they sign, what direction the team goes, etc.

Under his current deal, Fox is making $34.8 million this season and $37.0 million the following season. There is no team/player option in this contract; he will be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

Last season, Fox averaged 26.6 points (career-high), 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 2.0 steals in 74 games. He also had a career-high in minutes played with 35.9 minutes.

Sacramento opens their season at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 24th.

In a salary-dumping move, the Sacramento Kings have traded Jalen McDaniels to the San Antonio Spurs; a second-round pick has also been attached.

San Antonio is using their $8 million room midlevel exception to obtain McDaniels, but they are waiving him with his $4.7 million expiring contract.

By doing this, Sacramento will have the flexibility to add to its roster later in the year.

Last season, the 26-year-old averaged 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 50 games for the Toronto Raptors.
