Sasha Vezenkov Wants Out Of Sacramento

The former EuroLeague MVP, now NBA player, is officially done playing for the Sacramento Kings. According to multiple reports, Sasha Vezenkov told the front office that he has no intentions of returning to the team for next season.

It appears frustrations grew after being told he wouldn’t be in the team’s plans for the upcoming season, which includes minutes. While he wants to leave, it isn’t as simple as the 28-year-old wants it to be.

He signed a three-year deal with Sacramento before last season, as next season is fully guaranteed. Sacramento isn’t going to waive him, lose all that money ($6.6 million), and be on the losing side. If anything, it would have to come through a compromised buyout agreement.

Vezenkov has two options, either get traded or come to a buyout agreement. Both options will take time, but the option of him playing for Mike Brown is no longer happening.

According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, the continued belief coming from the Sacramento organization is that Jonathan Kuminga wants to be a King.

This is revving up even more due to the off-and-on talks between the Golden State Warriors and the 22-year-old.

Reportedly, Sacramento was ready to send a 2030 first-round pick and Malik Monk to Golden State for the superstar prospect. This would have saw Kuminga sign a three-year, $63 million contract.

Whether it is the Kings or another team, to acquire Kuminga, it would have to come through a sign-and-trade.

Kuminga only appeared in 47 games last season. During those appearances, he averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.

In the end, Kuminga wants a larger role than the one he currently has with the Warriors. It’s believed he would get that if on the Kings.

According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, the most likely landing destination of Russell Westbrook are the Sacramento Kings. A return to the Denver Nuggets seems unlikely at this point in time.

Other teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder were in play, but now that seems unlikely as well. All signs point to Westbrook continuing his career in Sacramento.

Denver saw sparks of productivity from Westbrook, but management felt as though bringing back Bruce Brown Jr. as his replacement was the better option.

If the 36-year-old were to sign with the Kings, it would his sixth team in the last seven seasons.

Dennis Schroder Signing Three-Year Deal With Kings

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Dennis Schroder is signing a three-year, $45 million contract with the Sacramento Kings. This offer came to reality after the 31-year-old was able to repair his value through solid play through the end of the season and in the postseason.

The official details of this deal is that the first two years are guaranteed financially, but that third year will only be partially guaranteed.

By signing Schroder, Sacramento adds more security protection to their point guard position. This was something they needed to get done since trading De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs.

For the veteran point guard, the Kings will be his tenth team he’s played on for his career.
