NBA offseason: Wizards target DeRozan as Hawks manage roster

The NBA offseason continues to see movement regarding veteran players and roster management. The Washington Wizards have identified former All-Star DeMar DeRozan as a priority target to provide veteran stability to their young roster. Following his release by the Sacramento Kings, DeRozan is being pursued by Washington, alongside the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks face roster constraints as they must reduce their current 17-player roster to 15 before the regular season begins. Additionally, potential moves involving Jonathan Kuminga could impact the Hawks' ability to acquire assets, as several teams including the Lakers, Timberwolves, Clippers, Bucks, and Cavaliers remain interested in the player.
