"The Sacramento Kings reportedly haven't discussed a potential buyout for DeMar DeRozan, but you can't help but wonder if that could all change after the season-ending injuries to both Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine. And if that were a route the two sides were willing to go down, the Miami Heat could make sense as a match made in basketball heaven."
"If the Heat whiff on Giannis Antetokounmpo during the summer (again), DeRozan could emerge as somewhat of a stopgap plan B until something better materializes. And, honestly, if the Heat didn't have to invest in a multi-year contract for DeRozan, I don't think the fan base would hate it. Especially if the Heat doesn't want to double down on a complete rebuild of the roster, a one-year rental plan with DeRozan wouldn't be the worst-case scenario."
Sacramento hasn't discussed a buyout for DeMar DeRozan, but season-ending injuries to Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine could prompt reconsideration. A buyout could also happen during the offseason since DeRozan has one year remaining on his contract after this season. The Miami Heat have shown past interest in DeRozan and could pursue him at a discount as a one-year rental. DeRozan averages 19 points and four assists on 49 percent shooting and 34 percent from three this season. A buyout acquisition could serve as a stopgap if the Heat miss on larger targets.
