Kings struggle to find trade market for Domantas Sabonis
Sacramento want draft picks for Domantas Sabonis, but insider Jake Fischer says other NBA clubs expect compensation to take on his two-year, $94m contract.
Sacramento have not yet found a workable trade for Domantas Sabonis, and other NBA clubs do not share the Kings' view of what the centre is worth, according to insider Jake Fischer.
Sacramento want draft picks in return. Fischer said that is not how the rest of the league sees it.
"The Kings believe Sabonis has positive value and that a draft pick should be provided in a deal for him. But from my conversations with executives on other teams, many hold the opposite view and think they themselves should be compensated for the remainder of his contract," Fischer said.
Sabonis has two years left on his current deal with Sacramento, worth about $94m in total.
