As the Kings get closer and closer to their rebuild and the start of NBA trade season on December 15, the likely end of Zach LaVine's tenure on the Kings draws near. He has a player option coming up in 2026-2027 that he may not take if the situation in Sacramento doesn't improve.
LaVine joined the Sacramento Kings as part of the three-team trade that sent De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs. That literally happened earlier this year, and he hasn't even played a full season with the team yet. It's been an incredibly short tenure that could come to an end soon.
