“That’s what we do. This is Sacramento’s location. When people come here, they understand.” – Doug Christie on the cheer DeMar DeRozan received from Kings fans during tonight’s game

I am honored that DeMar DeRozan has worn a Chicago Bulls Jersey for the past three seasons. That guy is a professional on and off the field. I’m glad he got to go back to the West where he wanted to be. I don’t wish him well.

DeMar DeRozan finished his Bulls career second in points per game behind only Michael Jordan.

MJ – 31.5 PPG
DeMar – 25.5 PPG

Few things better emphasize how great he was in Chicago than that. The kings found a good one.

The results may not make it feel like it, but DeMar DeRozan is a certified Bulls legend.

From back-to-back shutouts to his 41-point effort against the Bucks on the road to leading the league in minutes played … that man gave this team EVERYTHING.

Thanks, DeMar.

A Fox, DeRozan, Sabonis, Monk, Murray core with the assets to do more.

Times have changed for the Sacramento Kings.

The fact that the Sacramento Kings were able to sign a player of DeMar DeRozan’s caliber speaks volumes about how the culture of the franchise has changed in recent years.
