The Washington Wizards could still have a move up their sleeve, specifically with six-time NBA All-Star and three-time First Team All-NBA selection DeMar DeRozan.
DeRozan is heading into his 18th NBA season. He has been around the league, beginning his career with the Toronto Raptors before stints with the (in order) San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, and, most recently, the Sacramento Kings.
The Wizards are exploring whether they could be DeRozan’s next stop.
Wizards Show Interest in DeMar DeRozan
DeRozan, who turns 37 in August, is one of, if not the, top options still available to the Wizards in free agency.
It makes sense, then, that they would at least kick the tires.
“One new team over the last several days that has had some conversations with DeMar DeRozan: the Washington Wizards,” ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on “NBA Today” on July 28. “You think about a team that’s clearly trying to compete around Anthony Davis, Trae Young, and AJ Dybantsa. We’ll see where that goes.”
DeRozan averaged 18.4 points, 4.1assists, and 2.9 rebounds while shooting 49.7% from the floor with a 52% effective field goal rate.
He has earned over $305 million in his career. He has also earned individual accolades, but the top prize has eluded him. That strongly suggests DeRozan’s next team will be one with which he believes he can contend for an NBA championship.
