The "Light the Beam" era of the Sacramento Kings is rapidly devolving into yet another dark time for the forlorn franchise. De'Aaron Fox's refusal to sign a contract extension has forced the Kings to recoup whatever value they can retain on the trade market before the Feb.

The Sacramento Kings made a splash in the 2024 offseason, acquiring six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan via sign-and-trade with the Chicago Bulls. Pairing DeRozan with De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis was an incredible move on paper, but the Kings have had an underwhelming season.

According to recent reports, De’Aaron Fox may be leaving the Sacramento Kings soon. That would be a major loss for the Kings and it could greatly shake up the team’s chemistry and culture. How would it affect DeMar DeRozan and could it lead to him leaving Sacramento?
