A year ago, Domantas Sabonis was viewed as an integral part of the Sacramento Kings' roster. So far this season, he has only played 11 out of 32 games, and that mentality has definitely changed as a result. Trading him is now an inevitable part of the Kings' genesis into a rebuilt franchise.
The Kings brought Sabonis on board as part of the trade that sent Tyrese Haliburton to the Indiana Pacers. When Sacramento had De'Aaron Fox as point guard with Mike Brown as head coach, the structure of the roster almost made sense. They even made the playoffs.
