The NBA trade deadline brought few changes to the Sacramento Kings’ roster.
Aside from Saturday’s deal that sent guards Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder to the Cleveland Cavaliers in return for forward De’Andre Hunter — a move that also sent forward Dario Saric to the Chicago Bulls — it was a quiet week for first-year general manager Scott Perry.
Sacramento was involved in trade discussions that would have sent All-NBA center Domantas Sabonis to the Toronto Raptors, but no deal came to fruition as draft picks and returning salary caused both teams to table talks until the offseason.
Zach LaVine, who is likely to pick up his $49 million player option for 2026-27, generated some interest around the league, mostly from the Milwaukee Bucks, before they pivoted their stance to soft-selling as they plan to evaluate Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future this summer.
DeMar DeRozan, who has a partially guaranteed deal ($10 million) next season, didn’t garner much interest on the market, although he holds impressive averages of 19.3, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.9 assists on 50 percent shooting from the field and 34 percent from beyond the arc.
Here’s what the Sacramento Kings roster looks like following the deadline.

When is the next Sacramento Kings game?
The Sacramento Kings will continue a three-game homestand on Friday night against the new-look Los Angeles Clippers at Golden 1 Center.
Los Angeles traded star guard James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this week in a move that brought All-Star guard Darius Garland to the Clippers.
After starting the season in a 6-21 hole, Los Angeles has gone 17-5 over the past 22 games to pull itself back into the Western Conference postseason race.
