Kings’ High-Wage Duo Stuck in Trade Limbo | Sacramento Kings News

The Sacramento Kings are stuck between a rock and a hard place with Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis—combined salaries over $94 million next season. Despite being prime trade targets this offseason, no team bit, leaving the Kings to start the year with both stars in hopes of boosting their value before the deadline. Talks with the Raptors fizzled over Poeltl’s massive contract, while Detroit’s interest in Jalen Duren collapsed when he demanded a rookie max deal, forcing the Kings to keep either Sabonis or LaVine. Sabonis has reaffirmed his commitment to Sacramento, and though the team isn’t expected to win much, these two can still deliver big stats and close games. With LaVine’s contract expiring after this season, the Kings can’t afford to let him walk for nothing—they need to move one of these big contracts to truly rebuild without financial handcuffs.
