As a Bulls fan, I will miss watching him in Chicago he's the ultimate professional..get ready, Sac. fans, his scoring abilities are elite, and you will love him.

[@shutupboyyy]

Lol stop it. If he was Elite we would have at least made a second round or heck even the playoffs this year.

[@august7576]

Since coming to Sacramento, Monte, Wes & co. acquired Sabonis who willingly extended his contract, brought in Mike Brown, a highly respected and accomplished head coach, re-signed a sought after free agent in Monk, and now acquired a top tier NBA mainstay in DeRozan. This is the type of talent that would never look Sacramento's way before or view it as anything other than an undesirable NBA outpost that they couldn't wait to leave to wherever the grass was greener. You may not always like their patient and measured approach, but put some respect on the green grass this front office has created for this organization and quit hating, they know what they're doing.

[@ashishbehal5903]

How can you not love this dude

[@doubledose5007]

When you realize he got away with faking mental health and faking being a Girl Dad, made his ex fiancee a sidepiece n keeps her preggo for no reason. When you realize Tristan's bm is on DeMar payroll, when you realize he lies constantly in interviews and nobody notices. Should I keep going ?? This mf faker than a $3 bill and sooner or later he'll get exposed for who he really is

[@doubledose5007]

Very easy. He fake asl and it's only a matter of time before he gets exposed for who he really is. That will be when everybody starts not liking him no more

[@Kingsplay-by-play]

IM SO EXCITED OMG

[@deebo3618]

Spurs fan here… Demar was so good for us. He ALWAYS brings his A-game. And I know this gonna sound silly, but he is so skilled. All NBA players are skilled, I know, but his ball handling, his IQ, his underrated footwork, his vision, strong finishing at the rim, his unparalleled midrange - it really stands out. He’s elite, and we loved having him. Wish nothing but the best for Demar, take care of him SAC Town.

[@lakerskid2013]

Many people might forget that he was a vital piece of why the Raptors became a perennial playoff team before he got traded to the Spurs and now he could be part of making the Kings such a team just like in his years in Toronto, of course this time around the load is going to be much taken off of him unlike back then.

I had tickets to the first game that Sabonis played in Sac (vs Twolves). The crowd was absolutely raucous, chanting his name, etc. I was lucky enough to be sitting pretty close to the court, and I saw Domantas remarking to a teammate “It’s so loud in here!”. Was really cool to see. Looking forward to DeMar joining the team, and I am sure the Kings fans will make it real fun for him to play here.

Been a king fan since (coach) Dick Motta, (players) Jim Les, Antoine carr, Lionel Simmons, Duane carswell, spud Webb, etc Saw some lean years This is easily the biggest outside free agent ever to sign with the Sacramento Kings. A player like DeRozan could have signed anywhere , respect to vlade and c Webb was different, he was already here Demar DeRozan signing easily gives kings fan hope and excitement Taking a chance on a city in nba circles thats disrespected and franchise like the kings that's thought of as NBA Siberia Great signing -Very happy kings fan here
