The Sacramento Kings may be preparing for significant roster changes as their offense continues to falter early in the season. Several rival NBA executives, according to insider Evan Sidery, believe the Kings could soon explore trading star player Domantas Sabonis.
Through the first ten games, the Kings have a 3-7 record. A notable shift this season is the decreased role of Sabonis as the offensive centerpiece. The All-Star forward's assist average has dropped to 3.9 per game, his lowest in nine years, reflecting a less fluid offensive rhythm.
Despite these solid overall stats, Sabonis has struggled with perimeter shooting, hitting only 15.4% of his three-point attempts early in the season.
