The One Kings Star Most Likely to Be Traded During 2026-27 Season

The Sacramento Kings have not made major trades during the 2026 offseason, keeping their core mostly intact. Their notable move was sending former lottery pick Devin Carter to the Atlanta Hawks and, on draft night, trading for another first-round pick to select Alex Karaban. While there was speculation about trading Domantas Sabonis or Zach LaVine, the team couldn’t move either. The article argues that the situation could change during the regular season, especially ahead of February’s trade deadline, when one Kings star is “certain” to be on the block: Sabonis. At age 30, Sabonis has two years left on his contract, owed $45.5 million this season and $48.6 million next. With teams able to assess his value based on health and performance, he remains tradeable if he rebounds after an injury-plagued 2025-26.
