Buyout or Bide? LaVine’s Contract Dilemma | Sacramento Kings News

Sacramento’s rumored plan to buy out Zach LaVine is a short-term fix with long-term pain — dumping his $49M contract doesn’t solve their cap woes, just delays the inevitable. Trading him is tough because his on-court value doesn’t match his price tag, and teams aren’t biting. A buyout would still leave the Kings liable for most of that money, while offering little return. Letting him play might actually boost his trade value later — or at least avoid financial gymnastics. Rushing this move hurts their rebuild more than it helps.
