Sacramento Kings Rumours

07 Jun 2026 16:19:30
SAC - PHX

SAC: Jalen Green, Oso Ighodaro, Grayson Allen, future 1st round pick lotto protected, 2 2nd round picks
- obviously, DeRozan, LaVine and Allen will be offered to other teams after

PHX: Domantas Sabonis, Russell Westbrook, Devin Carter
- gets offensive help inside and a vet point guard

PG Westbrook - Gillespie
SG Booker - Goodwin - Carter
SF Brooks - Dunn
PF Oneale - Maluach
CE Sabonis - Williams

30 May 2026 16:00:22
Kings trade LaVine, Carter, 34th pick
Memphis trades Ja Morant

Enough for Memphis to get off Morant contract by shortening it to LaVine one year?

02 Jun 2026 22:02:42
Getting Carter and a 2nd for Morant is a win for Memphis. They also dump the bad contract. Memphis should say yes.

25 May 2026 09:39:08
Boston-Atlanta-Sacramento

Boston - Domantas Sabonis, Buddy Hield & 8th pick 2026 from Atlanta & future 1st round pick swap with Atlanta
- Boston get their big and a shooter to come off the bench plus have a chance to have a swing at the draft

Atlanta - Jaylen Brown & Russell Westbrook
- adds a hometown star

Sacramento - Zacharrie Risacher, Corey Kispert, Asa Newell, 27th pick via Boston & 2029 1st lotto protected via Atlanta
- move on from Sabonis and develop Raynaud and Cardwell. Also get a chance at Risacher


White-Pritchard-Harper
Shiermann-Hield
Tatum-Gonzales
Sabonis-Walsh-draft pick
Queta-Garza

Alexander Walker-Westbrook
Daniels-McCollum (resign)-Wallace
Brown-Kuminga
Johnson-Gueye
Okongwu-Landale

Flemings (7th)-Carter
Lavine-Monk-27th
Derozan-Risacher-Clifford
Murray-Hunter-Kispert
Raynaud-Cardwell-Achiuwa

25 May 2026 19:59:17
Looks good. Atlanta is particular would benefit greatly from your trade.

21 May 2026 09:52:47
SAC - UTA

Assume Acuff Jr. does not fall to the Kings and they are not enamored with the other guards in their draft range. Also assume UTA does not make a deal for Dybantsa and takes Peterson at #2.

Kings receive: George, Sensabaugh, Williams

Jazz receive: #7, Monk

Kings waive DeRozan (possibly stretch the $10m guaranteed portion over 3 years) to save cap space.

Sacramento depth:
George / Carter / FA
LaVine / Clifford / Williams
Hunter / Sensabaugh / #45
Murray / #34 / FA
Sabonis / Raynaud / Cardwell

Utah depth:
Collier / Brown Jr. #7 / FA
Peterson #2 / Monk / Konchar
Markkanen / Bailey / Mykhailiuk
Jackson Jr / FA / FA
Kessler (Re-sign) / Filipowski / FA

Kings take some of the risk of #7 being a bust out of the equation and land George, who had a breakout season but will be getting paid soon. They save cap space on Monk's '27-'28 salary and don't have to pay the rookie scale contract for #7.

With Markkanen, Jackson Jr., and Kessler likely under long term large contracts, the Jazz could opt to smooth out their cap hits by having Peterson and Brown Jr. (or whoever they would take at #7) on 4 year rookie deals. It may not make sense to pay / keep George if Peterson is going to be a star offensive player.

21 May 2026 20:23:33
Utah won't trade George for that.

17 May 2026 22:28:42
Memphis trade Ja Morant and 3rd pick.

Kings trade LaVine, Devin Carter, 7th pick and 2027 first round pick.

Kings take shot on Ja and take Caleb Wilson.

Memphis gets out of Ja contract into shorter LaVine, gets a PG in draft such as Flemings and adds a good first round pick for next year.

19 May 2026 07:25:39
Love Wilson for the Kings - it would be worth it for them to get a foundational piece and re-tool around Morant / Sabonis while he develops.

The Grizzlies have a good recent track record of player development and may try to continue to stockpile picks like OKC. I like the idea of the pairing of Flemings & Edey putting constant pressure at the rim / in the paint to open up everything else.

If I'm the Kings I try and offer Monk, DeRozan, #7, and their '31 MIN unprotected 1st instead for Morant and #3. That way SAC is only adding around +23m for the '27-28 season and MEM can flip DeRozan for value to a team that needs to save on the 15.74m non-guaranteed portion of his contract.

SAC depth:
Morant / Carter / Vet Min FA
LaVine / Clifford / Plowden
Hunter / #34 pick / Vet Min FA
Murray / Wilson #3 pick / #45 pick
Sabonis / Raynaud / Cardwell

(Assume waive/trade DeRozan and waive Caldwell-Pope)
MEM depth:
Flemings #7 pick / Jerome / Pippen / Clayton
Coward / Monk / Spencer
Wells / Jackson
Aldama / Cenac #16 pick / Hendricks
Edey / FA / #32 pick

16 May 2026 08:13:31
Atlanta - Sacramento

Atlanta get Domantas Sabonis & Russell Westbrook
- Move Jalen Johnson at SF and play 2 bigs with Okongwu and Sabonis. Westbrook to backup Johnson as the playmaker off the bench

Naw/Westbrook
Daniels/McCollum/Hield
Johnson/Kispert
Okongwu/Gueye
Sabonis/Landale

Sacramento get Jonathan Kuminga & Zacharrie Risacher + 2028 1st round pick lotto protected

Kings and Kuminga have been wanting each other. Kings also get a chance at Risacher and this opens up the opportunity for Raynaud to be their c moving forward
Draft Kingston Flemings
Derozan, Monk and Lavine up for trade also

Flemings/Carter
Risacher/Plowden
Murray/Clifford
Kuminga/Hunter
Raynaud/Cardwell

16 May 2026 19:21:39
I like this trade for the Kings.

16 May 2026 05:03:56

Raptors-Nuggets-Celtics-Kings

12 May 2026 20:52:29
Pretty good trades. If those firsts are lightly protected, I think all teams say yes.

14 May 2026 10:47:37
The Nuggets should throw in a pick that goes to the Celtics.

12 May 2026 10:16:06
SAC - OKC

OKC exercises team options on Hartenstein, Dort. Declines team options on K. Williams.

Thunder receive: Sabonis
Kings receive: Hartenstein, Joe, Wiggins, '26 1st #17

Thunder depth:
SGA / Mitchell / Topic
Dort / Wallace / McCain
Williams / Caruso / #37
Holmgren / #12 Lendeborg / Vet min FA
Sabonis / Williams / Sorber

12 May 2026 12:05:59
Sabonis is not what the OKC culture is.

14 May 2026 10:48:00
Hartenstein is a better fit in that OKC team.

11 Apr 2026 13:58:12
Wizards-Kings

Wizards get Demar Derozan
Kings get Dangelo Russell (waive) & Cam Whitmore

Wizards might want to sneak in into playoff contention next year with healthy AD and Young, maybe Demar can help

Young/Carrington
Coulibaly/Johnson/Hardy
Derozan/Riley
Davis/George/Reese
Sarr/Vukcevic

02 Feb 2026 10:33:44

Fanspo

Cavs get: Michael Porter Jr and Devin Carter
Nets get: Darius Garland, Lonzo Ball and 2 2nds
Kings get: Day'Ron Sharpe and Craig Porter Jr.

Why?
Cavs get a Mitchell sidekick, a Garland replacement and save money.
Nets get an all-star point guard and 2 2nds.
Kings get 2 young players.

02 Feb 2026 12:40:49
I like this idea.
Garland is a nice building block for the Nets.

02 Feb 2026 13:10:00
The Nets just drafted two promising point guards.

26 Jan 2026 01:11:13
Warriors - Kings

Warriors - Sabonis, Derozan, Monk

Curry-Podz
Melton-Monk-Payton
Derozan-Moody
Green-Horford-Santos
Sabonis-Post

Kings - Butler (inj), Kuminga, Spencer, TJD, 2 1sts & pick swap

Westbrook-Schroder-Spencer
Lavine-Ellis
Murray-Clifford (Butler)
Kuminga-TJD
Raynaud-Cardwell.

26 Jan 2026 01:31:16
This is a great trade for the Warriors. It would pretty much save their season. Kings get great value as well. Good job.

25 Jan 2026 10:44:48
Suns Fan
Suns; Sabonis Morant
Grizzlies; Green, Maluach
Kings; Vucevic, White, Dunn, Gilespie
Bulls; Allen, O`Neale, Gillespie.

25 Jan 2026 13:09:32
I feel like the Bulls need a C if they're trading Vuc.

22 Jan 2026 11:49:34
Cavs trade

Cavs get: Michael Porter Jr., Donovan Clingan, Devin Carter, '28 first Blazers via Magic and '31 Kings via Timberwolves
Blazers get: Jarrett Allen, Ziaire Williams and Jalen Wilson
Kings get: Darius Garland, Day'Ron Sharpe, Kris Murray and Tyrese Martin
Nets get: DeMar DeRozan, Dennis Schroder, Robert Williams III, Lonzo Ball, Dario Saric, '27 Kings via Spurs and 6 2nd round picks

Why?
Cavs add better fitting pieces, some firsts and save a ton of money.
Blazers get an all-star caliber big man and some other role players.
Kings get an all-star caliber guard and some other role players.
Nets turn Michael Porter Jr. into a nice package of players and picks.

I’m not a Blazers fan, but it behalf of them, i’m telling you they arent trading Clingan for Allen.

22 Jan 2026 19:39:50
I am that Blazer fan. Hardest of passes. Not giving up Clingan for Allen, let alone the first that they give up too.

18 Jan 2026 16:30:47

Kings:Van Vleet+Finney-smith+1rnd pick Suns 27

Rebuilding the Kings

1)Sacramento-Portland
Sac:T Harris+R williams+ 1rnd pick Det 26+1rnd pick Port28 (or bucks swap)
Port:Sabonis
Det:J Grant

2)Sacramento-Philly
Philly:T Harris+Derozan
Sac:P George+ 1rnd pick Clippers 28

3)Sacramento-Bucks
Bucks:Z LaVine
Sac:Kuzma+Portis+Porter Jr+ 1rnd pick Bucks 32.

13 Jan 2026 16:47:25
That Bucks swap is way more valuable than Sabonis. I don’t think I’d want him at all with Portland's current front court.

11 Jan 2026 16:44:26
Mavs - Kings - Hawks

Mavs- sabonis, risacher

Kings- porzingis, marshall, 1st hawks, 2nd mavs

Hawks- AD.

11 Jan 2026 10:43:19
IF.

Mavs have to realize, Harrison and also the fat Drummond created the irreversible damaged.

Reset and start complete new is the only way out. And only iF they do see, I and a lot others may look on it.

I do not understand why Mavs did not agree with Hawks to get
Young and the first 2026 of PEL for Davies. They should have offered:

ATL Davis, Irving
DAL 1st 2026 PEL, Young, Porzingis, Kennard

Why not? Play Young two years or trade him further.

Anyway, what is next?

Fire Kidd.

Offer to Kings:

SAC Irving, Davis, 1st 2029 LA
DAL 1st 2026, Carter - LeVert, Schröder, Monk.

11 Jan 2026 21:13:15
I don't think Atlanta has any interest in trading that pick. It's perhaps the most valuable asset in the whole league.

10 Jan 2026 22:47:54
Kings trade lavine
Trailblazers trade jerami grant and Robert Williams

Trailblazers get better scoring and shorten contract by a year from grant to lavine
Kings get better positional fit and better defense.
