As the NBA offseason approaches, the Sacramento Kings are generating buzz in trade discussions involving their star players. After a disappointing season and a coaching change, the Kings may look to offload DeMar DeRozan from their roster.

Bleacher Report’s Andy Bailey proposed a trade that would send DeRozan to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Marcus Smart, who brings solid defensive skills and playmaking abilities to the table. This swap could allow Sacramento's remaining stars, Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine, to maintain offensive control while bolstering their defense.

However, the potential acquisition of Smart raises questions due to his injury history, having not played more than 60 games in a season since 2022. Sacramento must weigh the risks against the benefits as they seek to return to playoff contention.
