Fischer Cools Sabonis-to-Warriors Talk as Bulls Emerge as Plausible Suitor

Fresh reporting points to Chicago's expiring money as the more plausible path, not Golden State.

Overview

  • NBA insider Jake Fischer says Golden State is unlikely to factor into any Domantas Sabonis pursuit due to salary-matching hurdles and fit concerns.
  • Rival executives have floated Chicago as a potential destination, citing Nikola Vucevic’s expiring $21.4 million contract and other short-term deals as workable trade pieces.
  • Sabonis is managing a partial meniscus tear in his left knee, with a re-evaluation planned in three to four weeks, adding short-term uncertainty to any discussions.
  • Fischer notes the Warriors have been reluctant to include valued younger pieces in past talks and argues Al Horford’s struggles do not warrant dismantling the roster for Sabonis.
  • Fischer suggests Anthony Davis would fit the Warriors better if healthy, while separate reporting frames any Bulls or Warriors moves as speculative with the trade deadline still months away.
