Kings consider trades involving DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis
Summary

The Sacramento Kings have emerged from the 2026 NBA Draft with a stronger young core, leading to a potential reshaping of the roster. NBA insider Sam Amick reports that while trade discussions for Domantas Sabonis may face obstacles, the Toronto Raptors have shown some interest. However, the Kings' reluctance to absorb certain contracts complicates matters. DeMar DeRozan is expected to be traded or waived, while Zach LaVine will exercise his $49 million player option, with limited trade interest at this time. The Kings will prioritize freeing up salary space for their young players.
