The Sacramento Kings are in free-fall mode, sitting 14th in the West with a 4-13 record. On Sunday, NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that the team is "willing to listen to offers for players up and down their roster... particularly for Sacramento's veterans." When it comes to Domantas Sabonis, though, a trade may not happen (subscription required). Fischer noted Sabonis's "affinity" for Sacramento, how Vivek Ranadive holds Sabonis in high regard, and that Sabonis isn't expected to request a trade.
Fischer also touched on the difficulties that could arise for the Kings if they made Sabonis available, as one Western Conference executive told him, "It's tough to pay a center that much who doesn't protect the rim and doesn't shoot threes — no matter how great of an offensive hub he can be.
