In doing so, the Kings will open up a roster spot and create some flexibility to potentially add a player down the line.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jalen McDaniels and a 2nd-round pick are being traded to the Spurs, per <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ShamsCharania</a>. <a href="https://t.co/Ao3Cos053X">pic.twitter.com/Ao3Cos053X</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1845918967082504241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 14, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>For the Spurs, this trade gives them a future draft asset which could be utilized in future trades at the expense of McDaniels’ contract. McDaniels, who was set to make $4.7 million this season, is going to be waived by the Spurs upon completion of this trade.</p><p>In a total of 248 games over five seasons with three different teams, McDaniels has averaged 6.9 points and 3.3 rebounds per game while shooting 44.9 percent from the floor. The 26-year-old forward is the older brother of Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels.</p><p>Earlier this offseason, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-davion-mitchell-traded-raptors-3-player-deal">Kings acquired McDaniels from the Toronto Raptors</a>. Due to having to duck below the luxury tax threshold and open a roster spot, Sacramento traded away Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov, the draft rights to Jamal Shead, and a 2025 second-round pick to the Raptors in this trade involving McDaniels.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raptors-news-player-gave-up-6-6-milllion-return-europe">Vezenkov was then waived by Toronto</a> and returned to Europe after one NBA season.</p><p>After trading McDaniels to the Spurs, the Kings now have 13 players under contract, including Orlando Robinson and his partially guaranteed contract. The Kings will be required to add at least one player to their roster in order to meet the 14-player minimum for the regular season.</p><p>It is possible that either Isaac Jones or Boogie Ellis, both of whom have played well in the preseason, could have their contracts converted to a standard deal for the upcoming season. Another possibility is that the Kings will look to add a veteran to the end of their bench with a standard contract.</p><p>Once McDaniels clears waivers after the Spurs release him, he will be eligible to sign with any other team. Whether or not a team will take a chance on McDaniels is a big unknown, especially since he has never been able to carve out a solidified role with any of his teams.</p><p>The Kings will officially announce the trade in the coming days along with the possibility of them signing another player to a standard contract in McDaniels’ place.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Mike Brown is known by many as the coach of the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers during the King’s first stint for the franchise. But while Brown has long been attached to James, the two-time NBA Coach of the Year has also made a name for himself as the man in charge of the sidelines for the Sacramento Kings.</p><p>In fact, Mike was largely credited for coaching the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-deaaron-fox-sacramento-breaking-16-year-playoff-curse-leaves-fans-emotional" rel="noopener">Kings to the 2023 NBA Playoffs</a>, ending the 16-season-long drought. The Kings just missed out on a return to the playoffs his second season.</p><p>While Brown prepares for his third season in Sacramento, there’s no question that he has a great personal life off the hardwood thanks to a loving wife and family. Let’s get to know more about Mike Brown’s wife Carolyn Brown.</p><h2><b>Who is Carolyn Brown?</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Carolyn Brown, who was formerly named Carolyn Nancy Mossman, was born on June 23, 1970, in Evergreen, Colo. She was raised by parents who adopted her and her twin sister Liz Lockley.</p><p>Carolyn would go on to study at the University of Colorado. She initially <a href="https://fabwags.com/nba-coach-mike-brown-wife-carolyn-brown/" rel="noopener">took up a degree</a> in psychology. However, she later changed her college degree to English with the hopes of becoming an educator. Although Carolyn had all the tools to become a successful teacher, she was convinced that her passion lies in being a good wife and mother.</p><h2><b>Carolyn Brown speaking out on education &amp; domestic violence</b></h2><p>With a passion for improving the education system and speaking out against domestic violence, Carolyn spends her time giving talks in schools to inspire young children. In fact, the principal of the Douglas MacArthur Girls Leadership Academy, Toni Miller, only had great things to say about Brown’s actions for the youth.</p><blockquote>In a report by Cleveland.com, Miller <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2009/05/carolyn_brown_using_husbands_c.html" rel="noopener">claimed</a> “She is just a blessing, so wonderful,. I talk about her all the time — almost nonstop. She’s just so down-to-earth — and so committed. She’s such a wonderful woman.”</blockquote><p>Speaking out on these issues is certainly commendable due to the positive impact it makes to the community. However, they are surely not easy, given the attention that these actions draw which Carolyn admits.</p><blockquote>In the same report by Cleveland.com, Carolyn claims “I’m trying to embrace it. I’d never seek it, but I’m learning how to deal with it. I’d like to try and make a difference, as small as it is, for the people in Cleveland.”</blockquote><p>But despite the difficulties and adjustments required, Carolyn’s sister Lockley claims that it’s her good heart that far outweigh these challenges.</p><blockquote>In the same conversation with Cleveland.com, Lockley revealed “The first time she was on TV and the radio, it was a terrifying experience. But she has learned, as silly as she thinks it is, that her voice actually can make a difference. She does wonder why people care. But she figures that since they’re listening, she might as well talk to them about what she’s passionate about.”</blockquote><h2><b>Carolyn Brown’s marriage with Mike Brown</b></h2><p>According to Heavy, the Browns <a href="https://heavy.com/sports/2017/05/mike-brown-wife-carolyn-age-kids-family-warrirors-coach-photos-bio/" rel="noopener">first met</a> at a club in Colorado. In fact, despite the University of Colorado alum telling the current Sacramento Kings head coach that she already has a boyfriend, the two-time NBA Coach of the Year couldn’t help but to keep pursuing his eventual wife.</p><blockquote>During the encounter, Mike recalled “I thought she was amazing.”</blockquote><p>Since that night, the two would become inseparable. In fact, the progression of their relationship caught Lockley off guard.</p><blockquote>In the same report by Heavy, Lockley claimed “Carolyn didn’t ever really get too serious too fast, so for her to do something like that was pretty out of character. So I was shocked. I knew that he had to be a good guy for her to fall like that. After I spent time with him, I could see why. He’s just a genuinely nice person.”</blockquote><p>By 1995, the couple would eventually share their vows in Colorado.</p><h2><b>Mike Brown and Carolyn Brown’s children together</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Brown-Wife-Carolyn-Brown-pictures-2.webp"></figure><p>Since then, the Brown household has grown with the couple raising two sons in Elijah and Cameron. Elijah played college basketball for Butler University before transferring to New Mexico. He finished his college basketball career in Oregon.</p><p>Elijah currently <a href="https://www.proballers.com/basketball/player/177371/elijah-brown" rel="noopener">plays professional basketball</a> overseas. He recently also played for the Sacramento Kings during the NBA Summer League.</p><p>On the other hand, Cameron played football for Case Western Reserve University. After completing his college playing years, he <a href="https://athletics.case.edu/sports/football/roster/coaches/cameron-brown/41" rel="noopener">returned</a> to the college football program as an assistant defensive line coach.</p><p>Despite having an athletically busy family, the family loves to spend time together at home.</p><blockquote>In the same interview with Cleveland.com, the Brown matriarch revealed “Mike and I are private people. Our favorite place to be is at home, although Mike might say second would be in the gym with one of our kids. But we are not very social people. Anywhere with just the four of us is the greatest place for us.”</blockquote><h2><b>Browns were guardians of former WNBA player Nirra Fields</b></h2><p>Although Nirra Fields no longer plays in the WNBA, she made it there <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2011/06/16/mike-browns-three-kids-to-play-at-mater-dei-high/" rel="noopener">thanks to the guidance</a> of the Brown couple. Being the guardian of Fields was certainly a pleasure for the Browns.</p><blockquote>In a report by Daily Bruin, Fields <a href="https://dailybruin.com/2014/02/13/nirra-fields-finds-home-on-basketball-court" rel="noopener">said</a>, “I met the family, I met their two sons. Me and Ms. Brown just clicked the first day we met each other. I was sort of the daughter she never had.”</blockquote><p>While the Browns served as Fields’ guardians, she would attend UCLA before getting selected in the 2016 WNBA Draft by the Phoenix Mercury. Fast forward to today, she currently plays for Izmit Belediyespor of the Women’s Basketball Super League.</p><p>Nevertheless, this is all the information that we have on Mike Brown’s wife Carolyn Brown.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Upon further imagining, it was revealed that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-kevin-huerter-undergo-season-ending-shoulder-surgery">Huerter would need to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery</a> to repair his labrum.</p><p>In a total of 64 games last season, Huerter averaged 10.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 36.1 percent from three-point range. This was the lowest three-point shooting percentage of Huerter’s career, and his lowest scoring output since his rookie season.</p><p>Since being traded to the Kings from the Atlanta Hawks in 2022, Huerter has been a key shooting weapon on the wing. The Kings are hopeful that he will be able to return to full strength from this injury and once again be a shooting threat alongside All-Stars De’Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, and DeMar DeRozan.</p><h2><b>Kevin Huerter’s role with Kings</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Kevin-Huerter.jpg"><figcaption>Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Huerter will spend the next few weeks ramping up his activities in order to return to the court for actual games. When this occurs, it is certainly not a given that he will be a start for the Kings.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-player-shock-nba-breakout-2024-25-season">Keon Ellis stepped up in a big way for the Kings</a> near the end of the 2023-24 season, and many believe he will be the team’s starting shooting guard to begin the new year due to his defensive tenacity and toughness. DeRozan and Keegan Murray will be occupying both forward spots with Sabonis as the team’s starting center once again, which is why Huerter could realistically be eased back into action from his shoulder injury by coming off the bench.</p><p>This may not be the worst spot for Huerter, especially since teams always need to be aware of where he is on the perimeter. Coming off the bench, Huerter can provide the Kings with a spark, much like how <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2024-25-nba-media-poll-full-picks-mvp-rookie-of-the-year-nba-finals-more">Sixth Man of the Year candidate Malik Monk</a> is instantly a source of scoring in the second unit.</p><p>As for how Mike Brown feels about getting Huerter back, the Kings head coach is <a href="https://www.sacbee.com/sports/nba/sacramento-kings/article293864284.html" rel="noopener">excited just to get a clean bill of health</a> for once regarding the talent on his roster.</p><p>“It will be great (to get Huerter back),” Brown said, via the Sacramento Bee. “We have a handful of guys that are out right now, so to get to a point where you have your whole team so you can evaluate it the right way is very exciting.

After opening their preseason with a homecourt loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Kings went on the road and suffered another defeat to the Bay Area squad on Friday. It all leaves a bad taste in the mouths of Sacramento fans, considering all the color that’s been brewing between their favorite team and the Warriors as of late.</p><p>On the positive side, preseason is just preseason. It’s a time <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-demar-derozan-reacts-perfect-preseason-debut">for Kings players to shake off the vacation rust</a> before the real campaign commences. It’s also a period where Mike Brown can finalize his lineup combinations and decide which players in the supporting cast are ready for bigger roles.</p><p>At the moment, one particular player seems to be poised for more responsibilities: Keon Ellis. Despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-mike-brown-important-malik-monk-update-exit-warriors-game">having pieces such as Malik Monk</a> and (a recovering) Kevin Huerter on the roster, Brown decided that the starting SG spot – which was a question mark this past summer — <a href="https://sactownsports.com/nba-sacramento-kings-keon-ellis-starting-guard-mike-brown/" rel="noopener">would remain with the third-year guard</a> out of Alabama, per Sactown Sports’ Frankie Cartoscelli. And this choice is exactly why Keon Ellis is bound for a breakout season.</p><h2>Keon Ellis, the Kings’ defensive stopper</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Keon-Ellis-during-media-day.jpg"><figcaption>© Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>What does Keon Ellis bring to the table? Defense. It’s exactly why the undrafted guard drew plenty of attention during last season’s play-ins, specifically when the Kings sent the Warriors home for good. Finishing the game with 15 points, five assists, three steals, and three blocks, Ellis showed the world his brand of basketball as he hounded Stephen Curry the entire night.</p><p>The 6-foot-4 guard isn’t the most imposing presence on the floor, but his willingness to stop elite scorers is what gives him playing time. In fact, it’s what allowed him to work his way to the first unit late last season (when Huerter went down).</p><p>Look at his impact on the team as a consistent starter. From the beginning of the 2023 season up until early March, Ellis started just four times in 63 games. In the Kings’ last 19 games, however, he started in all but two games.</p><p>During Sacramento’s first 63 games, their opponents shot 49.8% from the floor. In the final 19 outings, that percentage dipped to 44.8%. The Kings allowed foes to shoot 39.8% from three-point territory in the first 63 games. During the last 19 games? It went down to 35.1%. Opponent turnovers increased as well, going from 13.7 per game (in the first 63 games) to 14.5 per game (in the last 19 games). And as for points allowed, the Kings gave up 117.9 opponent points per game in the first 63 games. For the remainder of the season, that was brought down to 104.5 per game (stats via NBA.com).</p><p>To put it another way, inserting Ellis consistently in the first five during that 19-game span worked well for Sacramento defensively.</p><p>His offensive numbers won’t turn heads. During the 2023-24 season, Ellis put up 5.4 points (46.1 FG%) and 1.5 assists per game. But that’s because he averaged just 17.2 minutes through the 82-game span. Granting him more time on the floor will most certainly result in higher averages.</p><p>The thing is, Ellis’ lack of touches actually makes him a good fit for the first five. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-deaaron-fox-feels-demar-derozan-partnership">With De’Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan</a> as his fellow starters, Ellis won’t be tasked to create a lot of plays anytime soon. He’ll be focused on stopping opposing scorers while a lot of his points will result from off-ball buckets. Regardless, in those moments when he gets the rock, he’ll be ready. Last season, Ellis shot 41.7% from downtown, making him a reliable threat from outside.</p><p>Additionally, having both Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter in the second unit adds more depth to the bench. This, in turn, balances out the distribution of firepower within the rotation.</p><p>Keon Ellis won’t have a breakout season because of scoring, no. But on the other side of the ball, that’s where he’ll make noise. So Kings fans, be ready because the 24-year-old might just be named to one of the All-Defensive Teams this coming season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s a masterpiece that delivers consistent satisfaction on the road. In fact, the two-time NBA rebounding leader had to get one for himself.</p><p>For this purchase, Sabonis shelled out around $34,000. While it’s the cheapest car in Sabonis’ car collection, the Chevy Camaro is not a slouch by any means. But more importantly, this top-tier muscle car is one of the coveted muscle cars to this day.</p><p>The Chevy Camaro possesses an aggressive exterior that’s capable of turning some heads. But more importantly, its combination of power and speed make it an alluring must-have vehicle for any diehard car enthusiast. As a result, it’s one of the main attractions of Sabonis’ garage.</p><p>The Chevrolet Camaro operates on a 6.2-liter V8 powertrain. This allows it to produce 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque. Furthermore, it takes only four seconds to go from a standstill to 60 mph. On the other hand, this elite muscle car can go as fast as 196 mph, making it the fastest car in Sabonis’ car collection.</p><h2><b>1.

Although it’s the priciest car in the NBA All-Star center’s garage, there’s no doubt that the Land Rover Range Rover is worth every penny. In fact, it’s one of the most coveted luxury SUVs in the market for car collectors and big-time celebrities.</p><p>The Land Rover Range Rover is also a staple among Hollywood A-listers, given its sleek exterior finish combined with a spacious and lavish interior that assures comfort, making it a practical vehicle for either city driving or road trips. With a handful of amenities, advanced technology, and a roomy interior, Sabonis should have no problems in getting treated like royalty.</p><p>Aside from being designed with comfort in mind, the Land Rover Range Rover also has the ability to thrive in some of the most unforgiving terrains, as it also possesses some off-roading capabilities. This makes it the perfect luxury SUV whenever Sabonis decides to go on long adventurous trips with his family or friends.</p><p>The Land Rover Range Rover produces 395 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque thanks to a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. With an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Land Rover Range Rover can go as fast as 155 mph.

Sacramento showed DeRozan love, and there was no doubt that he felt the energy while in the arena. After the game, DeRozan spoke about his <a href="https://x.com/SeanCunningham/status/1844249041619780088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1844249041619780088%7Ctwgr%5E08663de23d8c18f98dd1e990b4becf12cda93760%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fnba%2Fkings%2Fsacramento-kings-news%2Fkings-demar-derozan-reflects-on-preseason-debut" rel="noopener">first preseason game</a> with his new team.</p><p>“I don’t take any moment I ever to get play in this league for granted,” DeRozan said. “I work my butt off, and just to be appreciated and be wanted somewhere, it always feels good, especially as a competitor. To get that reception knowing it was just preseason was definitely cool.”</p><p>DeRozan finished with 15 points and shot perfectly from the field, he and said that the game felt smooth for him while he was out there.</p><p>“We’ve been working extremely hard all week and it’s been a long week of just constantly beating each other up, pushing, competing, trying to learn,” DeRozan said. “I know for me learning the offense, trying to make it easier on myself and other guys. That’s just a credit to how hard we’ve been working and get out there finally go against somebody else.”</p><h2>DeMar DeRozan set to be a big addition for Kings</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/DeMar-DeRozan.jpg"><figcaption>Ed Szczepanski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Kings went out in the offseason and traded for DeMar DeRozan, and they should be a team that many should look at as a contender in the Western Conference.</p><p>Before the season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-demar-derozan-warning-unguardable-domantas-sabonis-pairing">DeRozan talked about the pairing with him and Domantas</a> Sabonis and how it could be hard for opposing teams to match up with them.</p><p>“You can’t guard it,” DeRozan said. “That’s what I like about it, having an IQ big like that, being able to screen, pass the ball, make quick decisions. You got to make a decision. When I’m coming off, or if he’s gonna keep it, he’s gonna score it, there’s just so many options out of that. And to be able to play out of that, it makes it tough for defensive players to kind of make a decision on either one of us.”</p><p>Opposing teams will also have to worry about De’Aaron Fox, who is one of the better point guards in the league, and Keegan Murray, one of many sharpshooters that the Kings have. The hope is that the chemistry grows strong early with DeRozan and his new teammates so they can start strong. It’ll be interesting to see where the Kings stand at the end of the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On the other hand, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-land-demar-derozan-in-sign-and-trade-deal">new acquisition DeMar DeRozan</a> went a perfect 6 of 6 for 15 points, a good portent for things to come in the new season.

He’s fine,” Brown <a href="https://x.com/VanessaRomoTV/status/1844246655673184603" rel="noopener">told the press</a>, as shared by Fox reporter Vanessa Romo on X, formerly Twitter. “He left for personal reasons.

He also received a warm ovation as he took to the court for his new team, hoping to cement their position as new playoff contenders in a stacked Western Conference.</p><p>“I worked my butt off this summer, man. More than ever. And just coming into this training camp, working my butt off,” the former Chicago Bull said, <a href="https://fox40.com/sports/basketball/kings/demar-derozans-debut-15-pts-on-6-of-6-shooting-in-kings-preseason-loss/" rel="noopener">via a report</a> from Andrew Marden for Fox 40. “But I just wanted to come ready where guys could count on me to just come out and compete.”</p><p>However, it was the Warriors who stole the show, riding <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-buddy-hield-fiery-form-kings-social-media-buzz">Buddy Hield’s hot shooting</a>, to the tune of 6-7 from three-point range, finishing with 22 points. Meanwhile, Jonathan Kuminga shot 4-7, while De’Anthony Melton made four threes of his own.</p><p>With the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-dallas-completes-klay-thompson-acquisition-in-historic-6-team-trade">departure of Klay Thompson</a>, the Warriors bolstered their shooting depth to replicate his production in the aggregate. This focus on shooting reflected in their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-warriors-trade-plans-after-lauri-markkanen-failure-emerges">failures to acquire Lauri Markkanen</a> and Paul George.</p><h2><b>Two-way teams</b></h2><p>Shooting has always been the Warriors’ calling-card, but their hot offense masked their defensive versatility. In their prime, they were the perfect two-way team, with shooters who can light up the scoreboard and who can also keep the other team from scoring.</p><p>Now, though, their offseason moves haven’t really filled their defensive needs, meaning they’ll have to outshoot their opponents every single game. A cold stretch in a series against a team that knows them quite well, like the Kings, could spell the difference between playoff redemption and disappointment.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One of the masters at getting to his spots, DeRozan’s first preseason bucket as a King, characteristically, was a jumpshot from 21 feet — <a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/1844209018132132012" rel="noopener">his bread and butter</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">DeMar DeRozan's first Kings bucket? </p><p>Midrange money 💰 <a href="https://t.co/0EH5X2lbcs">pic.twitter.com/0EH5X2lbcs</a></p><p>— ESPN (@espn) <a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/1844209018132132012?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>This then sparked a buzz among Kings fans who believe that DeRozan’s connection with Sabonis in dribble handoffs will introduce a welcome new element to their offense that will be <a href="https://x.com/Valladares7B/status/1844214150391841077" rel="noopener">difficult to stop</a>, thanks to the 35-year-old’s proficiency from the midrange area.</p><p>“DeMar Derozan being an elite midrange threat off the Sabonis DHO’s is going to be such a mismatch for teams 😭,” X user @itsabestill wrote.</p><p>“Demar just automatic from the midrange,” user @MagnusSav added.</p><p>“Demar DeRozan should have the same impact for the Kings as Siakam did for the Pacers. Diversifies their offensive approach by being one of the best midrange shot creators in all of basketball,” user @Valladares7B furthered.</p><p>There was no better way for DeRozan to endear himself to Kings fans with the way he performed in the first half of their preseason clash vs. the Warriors. He made four midrange jumpers in the first quarter alone, and then he added a three-pointer, two made free throws, and a layup during the second period all while <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1844216410882572588" rel="noopener">failing to miss</a> a single attempt from the field, finishing with 15 points on 6-6 shooting from the field on the night.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">DeMar DeRozan is PERFECT from the field 🔥</p><p>He has 15 points, 6-of-6 FG, and 3-of-3 from three!!<a href="https://t.co/qUm8w4EHlb">pic.twitter.com/qUm8w4EHlb</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1844216410882572588?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 10, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Like clockwork, DeRozan continues to fill up the scoring column, which is just about <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-demar-derozan-reveals-hardest-part-of-changing-nba-teams">everything the Kings could ask</a> from their major offseason addition.</p><h2><b>Will DeMar DeRozan be the difference-maker for the Kings?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Kings-forward-DeMar-DeRozan-10-controls-the-ball.jpg"></figure><p>The Kings sacrificed fit for talent when they decided to jettison Harrison Barnes in the process of bringing DeMar DeRozan in via a sign-and-trade. Barnes is a much more proficient shooter from beyond the arc than DeRozan, although DeRozan simply does a lot of things on a higher level than Barnes, which is what makes the Kings’ gambit interesting.</p><p>DeRozan gives the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-demar-derozan-prediction">Kings more offensive juice</a>; he can create something out of nothing on offense, and his ability to be automatic from midrange gives the Kings a higher floor of production on offense on a nightly basis. Unlike Barnes, who tends to be invisible when his shot is off, DeRozan’s playmaking and ballhandling gives him other avenues to contribute even during off-nights.</p><p>The Kings have certainly decided to go all-in on offense with their move for DeRozan. Their offense last season fell off, especially when compared to their league-leading offense during the 2022-23 season, and bringing DeRozan in could elevate them back to where they were.</p><p>But as far as whether or not DeRozan could prove to be the piece that elevates the Kings into the title-contending picture remains to be seen. The competition in the Western Conference is as tough as ever, and the Kings will have to bring out their best every single night so they could return to being the Beam Team everyone grew to love.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

To help get back in the Western Conference arms race, the Kings pulled off a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-land-demar-derozan-in-sign-and-trade-deal">sign and trade deal with the Chicago Bulls for DeMar DeRozan</a>. With DeRozan in the fold, the Kings can play a bit of a two-man game with him and Domantas Sabonis.</p><p>During a recent media availability session, DeRozan spoke about the difficulties opposing teams will have trying to stop the pairing with Sabonis, as per Sean Cunningham of FOX 40.</p><p>“You can’t guard it,” DeRozan said. “That’s what I like about it, having an IQ big like that, being able to screen, pass the ball, make quick decisions. You got to make a decision. When I’m coming off, or if he’s gonna keep it, he’s gonna score it, there’s just so many options out of that. And to be able to play out of that, it makes it tough for defensive players to kind of make a decision on either one of us.”</p><p>Having DeMar DeRozan in the lineup gives the Kings an additional ball-handler and playmaker that they did not have last season. He is expected to slot in as the starting small forward, replacing Harrison Barnes who was dealt to the San Antonio Spurs in the same trade.</p><h2><b>Kings reloaded in the West<br></b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/The-Kings-at-media-day.jpg"><figcaption>Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>On paper, the Kings possess one of the better starting lineups in the Western Conference. De’Aaron Fox and Keon Ellis are expected to be the starting guards, DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray as the starting forwards and Domantas Sabonis as the Kings’ starting center.</p><p>In 2022-23, Mike Brown’s first year as head coach, the Kings finished with a top three record in the West and homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs. They were eliminated in seven games by the Golden State Warriors, but looked like they would be a force in the West for years to come.</p><p>But after last season’s disappointment, they reloaded by adding DeRozan, a proven All-Star and veteran player. Last season, DeRozan averaged 24.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.1 steals with splits of 48 percent shooting from the field, 33.3 percent shooting from the three-point line and 85.3 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>DeRozan also finished second in the Clutch Player of the Year voting behind only Stephen Curry. With Fox and DeRozan, the Kings now have two players capable of putting pressure on opposing defenses off the dribble and in clutch situations.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His value had plummeted on the bottom-feeding Charlotte Hornets, allowing the Lakers to sign him in 2022, where he became one of the bright spots on that forgettable season for the Purple and Gold. After that season, Malik Monk signed with the Kings and helped propel them to their first playoff appearance since 2006.</p><p>Then, he even took a paycut to stay with the Kings, which allowed them to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-land-demar-derozan-in-sign-and-trade-deal">land DeMar DeRozan in a sign-and-trade</a> with the Chicago Bulls, sending Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs in return.</p><p>However, if there’s a player Monk looks forward to unlocking his game, it’s Sacramento’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2022-nba-draft-news-kings-select-keegan-murray-with-4th-pick">2022 No. 4 overall pick Keegan Murray</a>.</p><p>“It’s Keegan, the sky’s the limit for him,” the dynamic scoring guard told reporters on Tuesday, via <a href="https://aroyalpain.com/posts/malik-monk-thinks-sacramento-kings-player-unlimited-potential-01j99ddcn3d8" rel="noopener">a report</a> from Mat Issa for the site A Royal Pain. “He could be whoever he wants to be, so I don’t want to put a label on him.

Last season, the swingman <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/player/keegan-murray-10505" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 15.2 points in the regular season, along with 5.5 rebounds, on shooting splits of 45.4% from the field and 35.8% from distance.</p><p>He was a valuable piece for the Kings, who avenged their previous season’s first-round loss by taking out the Warriors in the play-in tournament. However, they failed to make the playoffs after the New Orleans Pelicans beat them in the next round.</p><p>Still, Murray upped his production during the play-in games, averaging 21.5 points and 8.0 boards, and 50.0% shooting from three-point land. Once the third-year forward reaches his peak, the Kings will be a dangerous team in the loaded Western Conference.</p><p>The problem, for now, is there is only one ball to go around, and the arrival of DeRozan might reduce Murray’s touches, especially in the playoffs.

The Kings are bringing back promising contributors and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-land-demar-derozan-in-sign-and-trade-deal">added star small forward DeMar DeRozan</a> to their squad. However, the team is not just thinking of itself going into the Fall basketball season. Sacramento State Athletics could be migrating to another conference, which could include the Pac-12. Thus, the Kings made the ultimate Golden 1 Center gesture to Sac State’s basketball programs.</p><p>The Kings <a href="https://x.com/chrisbhaynes/status/1841577990087705024?s=12" rel="noopener">have offered to host</a> Sacramento State’s men’s and women’s basketball conference home games at Golden 1 Center amid the athletic program’s conference migration pursuits, pending the arena’s availability, per NBA Insider Chris Haynes.</p><p>As of Oct. 2, the Hornets play in the Big Sky Conference. However, in mid-September, reports surfaced that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sacramento-state-making-strong-push-for-pac-12-mwc-invite-amid-expansion-buzz">Sacramento State was making a push for the Pac-12</a>.</p><p>“Sacramento’s local politicians and business leaders are planning a campaign to help get Sacramento State into the Pac-12 or Mountain West, a source tells FOS,” Front Office Sports reported on X (formerly Twitter). “The school would need to undergo the NCAA’s FBS transition process.”</p><p>The Pac-12 has experienced mass leave of institutions. The conference lost<br>Cal and Stanford to the ACC, USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington to the Big Ten, and Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah to the Big 12, as ClutchPoints previously noted.</p><p>However, the additions of Boise State, Colorado State, California State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, and Gonzaga have helped reform the conference. Sacramento State could be one of the next to</p><p>join. Yet, the Pac-12 wants to be strategic and carefully evaluate its options and has <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pac-12-conference-pauses-expansion-discussions-evaluate-options">paused its negotiations</a> with schools, Brandon Marcello of CBS Sports reported on Oct. 2.</p><p>Hopefully, Sacramento State Athletics will be able to figure out the long-term conference home. Until they get things sorted, the Kings are willing to help out with the school’s basketball programs with their home conference competitions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
