Kings Stuck With LaVine's Contract | Sacramento Kings News

from Sacramento Kings News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Sacramento Kings are stuck with Zach LaVine’s massive $49M player option, a contract that far outpaces his current on-court value—and that’s making trades nearly impossible without giving up precious draft picks or young talent. With LaVine’s scoring prowess but defensive shortcomings clashing with the team’s rebuild goals, the Kings face a tough choice: trade him at a steep cost, risk their future, or hold onto him and hope his value rises—or his contract expires—by 2027.
