NBA Trade Rumors: Domantas Sabonis on Hornets’ Short List of Targets, But What Would Charlotte Have to Give Up?
- On Wednesday, the Sacramento Kings and Charlotte Hornets held preliminary negotiations regarding a potential trade for three-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis, according to NBA insider Sam Amick of The Athletic.
- Seeking a stronger frontcourt to support young stars like LaMelo Ball, the Hornets are exploring upgrades after finishing with a 44-38 record this season.

- Sabonis has two years remaining on his contract at $45.472 million next season; the 10-year veteran averaged 15.8 points and 11.4 rebounds last season, though knee issues limited him to 19 games.
