DeMar DeRozan still remains one of the best scorers in the NBA at 35.

The former USC star is coming off his first season playing for the Sacramento Kings.

He averaged 22.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per contest while shooting 47.7% from the field and 32.8% from the three-point range in 77 games.

That said, DeRozan will make nearly $25 million next season.

According to Jake Fischer (via The Stein Line), the Kings are expected to consider moving the six-time NBA All-Star this summer.

It's unclear how much value DeRozan would have at this stage of his career.

That said, he could help a lot of teams be more productive on offense.

Via Matt George of ABC10: "The DeMar DeRozan rumors are to be expected. It's in the best interest of both sides to move on. And it's the logical first step to repairing the Kings situation."
