Sacramento Kings / Schedule
He is already set to earn $47.5 million this season.
Given the massive amount of his salary and his plans to pick up his player option next year, the Sacramento Kings will face further challenges to move him.
The two-time All-Star is already expected not to be dealt ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.
LaVine appeared in 37 games so far this year, averaging 19.8 points, 2.8 boards, 2.3 assists while draining 48.3 percent from the field (39.5 percent from threes).
