in Peak shape Min are set back for a major comeback and to my fans Don't stop believing in me wood averaged 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds last season playing a bit part role on the Lakers last season he's a clearly talented player averaging 16.6 points and 7.3 rebounds on the Mavericks in 2022 to 23 and 17.9 points and 10.1 rebounds on the Rockets the season prior to that however defensive limitations and concerns over his attitude have held him back at almost every spot his stint with the Mavericks ended in explosive fashion with the team making it as clear as they could that they didn't want to retain him after trading for him in the 2022 off season he sat in 2023 free agency for months before signing a 2-year deal with the Lakers for the veteran minimum he didn't contribute much last season so this season is crucial in woods hope to not only have a future with the Lakers but a future in the NBA dear D rozan reveals why he chose Sacramento over Los Angeles one thing that many people don't understand about sign in trades is that the player involved in the transaction needs to agree to the deal for the Sacramento Kings that means that when he orchestrated the sign and trade that landed us dear D rozan the six time Allstar actually wanted to come to us as a small Market team with a less than Rich history it is always pleasantly surprising when someone willingly chooses to play for us however what makes this situation even more shocking is that D rozan had the chance to play for one of the teams in Los Angeles as both the Clippers and Lakers expressed some degree of interest in him not only is Los Angeles the place where every player in the NBA wants to go but it is also less than 30 minutes away from where D rozan grew up Compton California so D rozan chose Sacramento overcoming home but why on Monday D rozan made an appearance on Paul George's popular podcast podcast P during the episode George someone who spent a half decade in Los Angeles asked D rozan about why he chose Sacramento over the City of Angels here is what D rozan had to say everyone knows that I'm at a place in my career where I just want to win from there I let the cards play out in a way where I could see what landscape was going to let me win and then Sacramento came about they were showing interest like real interest D rozan told George so when I stepped back and looked at them and analyzed the team they have great players and a great team and I just always remember the last couple of years seeing them light this beam winning and all that that's something you always want to be a part of a contagious culture of an organization that wants to win when I looked at all that I just felt like Sacramento fit in his 15 years in the NBA D rozan has accomplished quite a bit however he doesn't have the playoff track record that some of his contemporaries possess up to this point D rozan has never played in the NBA finals and he's only made the Conference Finals once simply put all that there is left for Rosen to do his win and in his mind the Kings gave him a better chance to do that than the Lakers or Clippers considering we've spent years looking up at them in the standings yes even the Clippers hearing that is a cool change of pace and it continues our theme of spending the summer reflecting on how far we've come as a team and you fan what do you think of
