According to multiple reports, the Sacramento Kings are expected to take offers on DeMar DeRozan. With Scott Perry becoming the new general manager, he may want to become aggressive and take a new approach with this organization.

The past regime brought DeRozan in through a sign-and-trade worth $74 million over the course of three years. By doing this, it would set up a “Big 3” around him, De’Aaron Fox, and Domantas Sabonis.

However, it all began to fall apart when Fox was traded to the San Antonio Spurs after both sides had a falling out. Sacramento was seen remodeling their team, which included Fox and former head coach Mike Brown.

Before the Kings decided to trade Fox, DeRozan went public saying he would “reconsider his future” with the team if they traded his teammate. The organization went through with the deal, as they could be looking to shop the veteran as well.

For a win-now team, trading for DeRozan could be the smartest option. He’s a great piece to a championship-contending team, plus a cheaper option. If being compared to the likes of Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

With Sacramento recognizing that, they may find it more favorable to trade him than to keep him. This would presumably launch a full rebuild around Sabonis and Zach LaVine.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, confirmed by the Sacramento Kings, interim head coach Doug Christie will remain with the organization as their permanent head coach.

Christie signed a multi-year contract Tuesday morning to complete his journey of being a former player of the Kings to their assistant coach to now their head coach. An incredible story to be told here.

Sacramento has been, and will continue, revamp their team to remain competitive in the Western Conference. Christie replaced Mike Brown as Sacramento’s coach in December.

For their front office, the Kings parted ways with Monte McNair immediately after getting bounced in the Play-In Tournament. Scott Perry took over to run Sacramento’s front office.

The team went 27-24 under Christie, while ranking ninth in offensive efficiency. A positive sign for their fans and for their future.

According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, current interim head coach Doug Christie is in a “well-positioned” spot to become the Sacramento Kings permanent head coach.

While he hasn’t been told anything or given any reassurances, when the Kings are doing their process, his name will be in the mix.

After former general manager Monte McNair and Sacramento parted ways, the Kings immediately hired Scott Perry to run their front office. With that hiring, Perry will have a say in who leads the team next season.

Christie has been with the Kings since 2021, a year before former head coach Mike Brown was hired to run this basketball team.

The former basketball player has only 51 games of coaching under his belt, which stems from this season. Christie, as an NBA player, played for Sacramento for five years. His ties to the team goes beyond being assistant/interim coach.
