Domantas Sabonis On Kings' Trade Block?
Domantas Sabonis is drawing real trade interest around the league, with The Athletic’s Sam Amick saying, "As it relates to Sabonis, my understanding is there are at least a few teams that have raised their hand to say, 'Yeah, he's somebody we'd want to talk about.'" Sacramento’s 3–9 start, sagging Sabonis numbers and the club’s whispers of a rebuild make him their top movable piece — a veteran under contract through 2027–28 who could fetch a sizable return. Merlin senses a crossroads: Sabonis is a do-it-all big likened to Nikola Jokić in style, and trading him could kick-start a true retool while maximizing value. With LaVine and DeRozan also on the market radar, Sacramento must weigh patience against the chance to reset now.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds of Domantas Sabonis being traded before the 2025-26 trade deadline: 45%.
