After playing several seasons for the Raptors, DeMar DeRozan built a name for himself as a high-caliber player. The six-time All-Star did some of his best work there before moving to the Spurs.
He was traded to the Kings after a few seasons in Chicago, and it was a trainwreck. Not because of anything DeRozan did. He actually played quite well.
No, the problem with the 2024-2025 season was the organization itself. Even by the Kings' standards, it was an impressively unstable season, one that led into a tumultuous yet lame offseason. From the outside, it looked like the Kings weren't making moves to improve.
