While a number of Kings rotation starter- or rotation-level veterans, including Malik Monk<\/a>, DeMar DeRozan<\/a>, and Zach LaVine<\/a>, are viewed as potential trade candidates, as ESPN\u2019s Bobby Marks notes (YouTube link<\/a>), center Domantas Sabonis<\/a> remains unlikely to be moved.<\/p>\n

When Sabonis spoke after the season<\/a> about wanting to meet with the new lead basketball operations executives \u2013 including general manager Scott Perry \u2013 to discuss the future, there was speculation about the possibility that he might ask for a trade, but there has been no indication that will happen this summer, Sam Amick of The Athletic confirmed during an appearance on The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross (YouTube link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, he\u2019s been signaling patience and had good conversations with the new front office,\u201d Amick said of Sabonis. \u201cThe (Dennis) Schr\u00f6der<\/a> move<\/a> to me is an interesting one in the context of Domas, because for the short term, I could see Domas saying, \u2018Listen, I just want to feel like I have a chance every night, and now you\u2019ve got me a point guard.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve still got to figure out the fact that you have so many guys who like to score the ball, and Domas wants to get back to the higher usage that he had a couple years ago. So it\u2019s still not even close to perfect, but it\u2019s enough that nobody\u2019s causing a ruckus and they\u2019re just trying to wait and see what the roster looks like in the next couple months.\u201d<\/p>\n

We have more on the Kings:<\/p>\n

Echoing reporting<\/a> from Tuesday night about the Kings\u2019 sign-and-trade talks for Warriors restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga<\/a>, Ali Thanawalla and Tristi Rodriguez of NBC Sports Bay Area<\/a> say Sacramento has talked about sending out Devin Carter<\/a>, Dario Saric<\/a>, and two second-round picks in a package for Kuminga. However, Amick hears that the Kings have made \u201czero progress\u201d toward finalizing a deal (Twitter link<\/a>). That makes sense, considering that would be a pretty light return for a Golden State team believed to be seeking at least one reliable rotation player in any Kuminga sign-and-trade.
\nThe idea that the Kings, Warriors, and Pistons are seriously discussing a three-team trade that would see both Kuminga and Schr\u00f6der signed-and-traded to Sacramento is \u201ctotally false,\u201d a source tells Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee<\/a>. Although the Kings have interest in Kuminga, those talks are unrelated to their deal for Schr\u00f6der, according to Anderson.
\nAccording to Thanawalla and Rodriguez of NBC Sports Bay Area, the Kings are considered more likely than not to part ways with Monk this offseason and haven\u2019t closed the door on sending him to Detroit in the Schr\u00f6der sign-and-trade. However, reports of Monk\u2019s potential inclusion seem to be coming entirely from Sacramento-based outlets rather than the Detroit side, so it sounds like the Kings have more interest in including Monk in that deal than the Pistons do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While a number of Kings rotation starter- or rotation-level veterans, including Malik Monk, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126327,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3792],"tags":[7,10877,1024,3208,4672,867,4056,1267,6,986,477,4055],"class_list":{"0":"post-144387","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sacramento-kings","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-dario-saric","10":"tag-dennis-schroder","11":"tag-devin-carter","12":"tag-domantas-sabonis","13":"tag-jonathan-kuminga","14":"tag-kings","15":"tag-malik-monk","16":"tag-nba","17":"tag-sacramento","18":"tag-sacramento-kings","19":"tag-sacramentokings"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114789750562899066","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=144387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/144387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=144387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=144387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=144387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
