Overview
- Jake Fischer reports Sacramento is “open for business,” with teams monitoring Domantas Sabonis and other veterans as the front office evaluates the roster.
- Sabonis is sidelined for multiple weeks with a partial meniscus tear, adding timing uncertainty to any potential trade.
- Golden State has been floated locally as a plausible suitor given frontcourt needs, with any serious talks likely tied to Jonathan Kuminga’s mid-January trade eligibility.
- The Clippers have shown interest in DeMar DeRozan, whose deal is partially guaranteed next season, with swap ideas such as John Collins-for-DeRozan framed as speculation.
- League voices, including ESPN’s Tim Bontemps, describe limited demand for returns Sacramento seeks, and reporting indicates Sabonis is unlikely to request a trade.
