Suns Have No Trade Offers For Deandre Ayton That Would Maintain Title Odds

Domantas Sabonis said he’s “excited” about what DeMar DeRozan will bring to the Sacramento Kings next season. Sabonis said he thinks adding DeRozan will make the Kings a more versatile team.

“I think it’s going to be good for us. It’s going to make us think differently on the court, move differently, and really read each other,” Sabonis said. “We are used to playing one style but he does something at a Hall of Fame level that we’re going to have to play around and it’s going to make it so much harder for teams to guard us because we can basically score from anywhere.”

Sabonis also said he was surprised that Sacramento was able to re-sign Malik Monk given the limitations in what the team could offer their sixth man. All around, Sabonis said the Kings offseason exceeded his expectations, especially adding DeRozan.

“Definitely [exceeded my expectations]. He’s a very smart player, has been in the league forever, and has done so much, I’m excited to learn from him and pick his brain and I hope everyone else is and everyone gets better overall.”
