NBA Rumors: Domantas Sabonis, an option for Golden State Warriors

The name of Domantas Sabonis is once again gaining strength in NBA rumors. The Lithuanian center, one of the most productive big men in the league in recent years, is going through a delicate moment in Sacramento. His statistical impact remains undeniable —over the last three seasons, only he and Nikola Jokic have averaged at least 18 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists per game—, but the Kings' collective performance has brought back the debate about his future. Golden State Warriors have been rumored.

Sacramento is heading to miss the playoffs for the third consecutive season, and the most striking fact is that, despite Sabonis' productivity, the team is performing 20 points per 100 possessions worse with him on the court. While his defensive weakness is well-known, it is surprising that his presence coincides with such a sharp drop in the team's overall efficiency, sparking speculations about a potential trade.

According to journalist Sam Amick, there are franchises willing to show interest in the center even though he still has two years left on his contract worth 94.1 million dollars. Amick points out that, just as Keegan Murray has garnered interest across the league, Sabonis has also been mentioned by several teams as a player they would be willing to engage in discussions for.

Warriors option on the table

In recent days, another name has emerged in this scenario: the Golden State Warriors. A recent report suggests that the California franchise could consider adding the 29-year-old player. The idea remains speculative, but it is mentioned that, although Sabonis may not be able to perform at the economic level of his current contract, he could fit into a team looking for a playmaking big man like him.
