Their team has made minor adjustments, but Sacramento Kings fans are waiting for more.
Is a big change on the horizon?
A new clip shared by NBACentral on X features Allen Stiles speaking about a “handshake agreement” between the Kings and DeMar DeRozan.
“I believe that there is a handshake agreement between DeMar DeRozan and the Sacramento Kings. That is my belief. If Jonathan Kuminga is acquired by the Sacramento Kings, they will get their butts in gear as far getting DeMar DeRozan to another team. You just take Terry Rozier, two [second-round picks], and it’s essentially a salary dump,” Stiles said.
There’s a possible handshake agreement between the Kings and DeMar DeRozan that they will move him if they acquire Jonathan Kuminga, @The_StilesFiles
One idea: Terry Rozier and two second-rounders

This Jonathan Kuminga situation has everyone looking at the Golden State Warriors, Kings, and other teams.
Even before last season ended, people were talking about Kuminga leaving the team.
He has made it clear that he wants a bigger role and is tired of being a second-unit player, but he might not get those responsibilities with the Warriors.
At the same time, it’s not clear if Golden State is ready to part ways with him.
There have been rumors of them holding onto Kuminga in order to facilitate a bigger trade for a larger star.
If they do come to terms with the Kings, it means that DeRozan would be packing his bags, according to Stiles.
Whether he goes to the Miami Heat or another destination isn’t clear, but DeRozan would end his time in Sacramento, and the Kings wouldn’t receive a huge haul for him.
Kuminga’s relationship with the Warriors was already getting a lot of attention, but now it’s sure to receive even more.
