DeMar DeRozan, the 16th-highest scorer in NBA history with 26,711 points, is heading to Colorado. "Six-time NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan has agreed to sign with the Denver Nuggets on a one-year, $3.9 million deal," Shams Charania reported. Yet other sources are more cautious, saying only that the intent to sign is in place for now. The move is the logical next step after the Sacramento Kings released him in July. The 37-year-old veteran averaged 18.4 points across 77 games last season, but still found himself a free agent. A major challenge now awaits him. He is ready for it. For a competitor with 17 years in the league, a championship ring is worth more than the money.
