Overview
- The Athletic's Sam Amick said on SacTown Sports that at least a few teams have signaled interest in discussing a Sabonis trade.
- Sacramento radio host Allen Stiles said a California team "down the freeway" is monitoring Sabonis, a description widely interpreted by outlets as pointing to the Warriors.
- The Kings are 3–9, yet there has been no public indication Sabonis is available, and he remains under contract through 2027–28 while continuing to lead the NBA in rebounding.
- Media proposals remain hypothetical, including a Sports Illustrated framework cited by Heavy that sends Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and multiple picks to Sacramento, with Kuminga not trade-eligible until mid-January.
- Analysis pieces name the Warriors and Lakers among plausible suitors, but NBC Sports notes any deal must match Sabonis’ large salary, and Heavy flags the Feb. 5 trade deadline as a likely inflection point for real talks.
