Might have to send Poeltl to a 4th team to even up money.

31 Aug 2026 13:47:37
Scoring wise this trade makes sense but im not trading Barrett for LaVine that would be stupid you would definitely send Poeltl away but even then you lose a big and we only have 1.

SAC/TOR/PHX

SAC get Jalen Green

TOR get Domantas Sabonis

PHX get Immanuel Quickley & 1st round pick TOR.

10 Aug 2026 17:56:08
I would do this trade but we need shooting more. So trading Poeltl would have to be done afterwards for a shooting PG. I think healthy Quickley can be an all-star. He's fast and can shoot and play decent defense.

12 Aug 2026 03:01:58
That's awful for SAC

04 Aug 2026 23:50:09
Sac - Por

Sacramento receives: Holiday, Lillard

Portland receives: LaVine

Sac depth:
Lillard / Acuff / Monk
Holiday / Clifford / Sharp
Hunter / Karaban / Plowden
Murray / Achiuwa
Sabonis / Raynaud / Cardwell

Por depth:
Morant / Henderson
LaVine / Sharpe / Krejci
Avdija / Cissoko
Camara / Sochan / Potter
Clingan / Williams / Yang / Carlson

The Kings get the perfect mentors / culture setters for Acuff / their young team.

The Blazers save $48m for '27-'28 and prioritize their younger players / long-term future. Lillard would have to waive no trade clause though.

05 Aug 2026 04:26:38
Naah for Portland.

16 Jun 2026 13:55:09
Oklahoma City-Sacramento-Dallas

Oklahoma City get #7 pick via Kings (Nate Ament), Caleb Martin

Sacramento get #9 pick via Dallas, #13 pick via OKC, #17 pick via OKC, future 1st round pick via OKC, Daniel Gafford (can flip for another 1st), Isaiah Joe, Klay Thompson (buyout)

Dallas get Domantas Sabonis, Aaron Wiggins, 2nd round picks from Sac

Reasoning
Oklahoma City move up in the draft by using their assets and select a PF to develop while dumping some money in the process

The Kings trade away Sabonis and his salary to gain more assets and develop Raynaud as their future starting center

Dallas make a move for Sabonis to help out Kyrie and Cooper compete.

16 Jun 2026 21:11:43
Seems wildly good for Sacramento. Trading down only 2 spots and they get a king's ransom.

I see that Sabonis is also a part of the trade. He probably has neutral value at best.

10 Jun 2026 19:34:04
Clippers: J Brown
Celtics: Garland+Sabonis
Kings: I Jackson+Hauser+Garza+ #5+ #27+ 1rnd pick Clippers 30

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.
