Chris Watkins and Brenden Nunes joined The Allen Stiles for another edition of The Kings Roundtable to break down the Sacramento Kings not participating in the California Classic Summer League, continued DeMar DeRozan trade rumors, and plenty more.
For Summer League, Las Vegas has always been the true highlight with every NBA team sending a squad to participate.
But smaller leagues exist for short portions before Vegas, including Miami, Utah, and, recently, Northern California. Despite alternating hosting between themselves and Chase Center, home of the Warriors, the Kings will not be participating in 2025.

Allen, Brenden, and Chris discussed the potential reason, given that the change is taking place after the new general manager, Scott Perry, has taken over.
Plus, plenty of rumors about Sacramento’s veteran guard DeMar DeRozan, and his potential landing spots this offseason continue to swirl.
All that and PLENTY more!
