The Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers are considering a trade for Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis, who may be available this offseason. Sabonis, a former All-Star, had an injury-troubled season, limiting him to 19 games. Both teams are seeking to strengthen their frontcourts, with concerns over current players Kristaps Porzingis and Deandre Ayton.
