\"DeMarThe public of Sacramento will not be able to blame him for his efforts. While his team was exceeded in the second half against MAVs, DeMar DeRozan<\/strong> was one of the few to continue to feed the brand on the Kings side. But his 33 points (13\/28 shots) and 7 rebounds in 43 minutes of play were in vain.<\/p>\n

\u00ab It's hard, it's hard … it's frustrating. You don't want to go out like that<\/em> \u00bb, The 35 -year -old is sorry<\/a>who says he has trouble ” To design there, immediately <\/em>“, This early elimination. A road trip that comes after what he considers to be the season ” The hardest crossing in 16 years of career. The season we had was a lot.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n

The veteran had landed in Sacramento in the hope of playing the leading roles in the west alongside De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. The playmaker having been sent to San Antonio, shortly after Mike Brown's dismissal. <\/p>\n

Rather than the title, he found himself playing, again, a modest play-in with his former teammate at the Bulls, Zach Lavine.<\/p>\n

Today he says he should ” Leave by zero, watch the other teams that still play. It sucks.<\/em> ” Also, “ It is to realize that I will start my 17th season. This is my reality, so I don't have many remaining opportunities to give me a chance to be competitive in playoffs. And that's all I want at this stage of my career. Have a chance to be there and see what is happening, and not necessarily compete in the play-in. I will think about it a lot<\/em> He develops.<\/p>\n

“I am not trying to play yet five or six years”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 9th choice of the 2009 draft had already had to wait several years before knowing its first playoff campaigns with the Raptors. Once this stadium has reached, he had chained the courses in final stages with Toronto, from 2014 to 2018, to a conference final. But without ever passing the leBron James obstacle.<\/p>\n

For these good years, he has only experienced two eliminations in the first round, with the Spurs, then the Bulls. His last playoff match dates back to 2022. <\/p>\n

\u00ab It's difficult. I am not trying to play yet five or six years. We only have a few years, and this window closes quickly. When you see things from this angle, it's necessarily hard. The opportunities are rare, and you don't want to spoil those left<\/em> “, Continues the native of Compton.<\/p>\n

He therefore intends to land in the coming days to take stock of his situation. The rear\/winger has two more years of contract at around $ 25 million. The main executives of the team are also under contract over several years. However, we imagine the Kings not to move this summer, especially after the express reference of their GM.<\/p>\n

\u00ab You always want a solid and clear base to move forward. I'm almost sure that there are a lot of decisions to make, at all levels. In the coming days, in the coming weeks, it will be necessary to digest everything that has happened. From a personal point of view, it will be a priority, and we will see what is going on then<\/em> \u00bb, Term–t.<\/p>\n
