U.S. News: Executives believe the Kings trio may disintegrate before the trading deadline this summer or next year

9:54pm, 5 June 2025【Basketball】

June 4th HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto reported that league executives are paying attention to the situation of the king's trio - Raven, DeRozan and Sabonis Jr.

It is reported that competitor executives believe that the Kings will explore the possibility of trading at least one of the players in the trio this offseason or next February trading deadline.

Sabonis Jr. has led the league rebounding list for three consecutive seasons, and has been considered the last two All-Star Games to be the last beads of the undraft. His contract amount for the next three seasons is $136.42 million. In comparison, Sabonis Jr. performed the most consistently, averaging 19.2 points (59.7% from the field), 13.2 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.

However, competitor executives are observing whether Sabonis will eventually request a deal if the Kings continue to perform poorly and cannot show progress beyond the playoff team.
