Similarly, there was a push among some power-brokers for Sacramento to go after Atlanta’s Trae Young, but league sources say the Kings didn’t have interest because of his style of play (offense-first) and cost (he’s extension-eligible this summer but is slated to earn $45.9 million next season and has a player option worth $48.9 million in 2026-27).

Lot of sane deals being done the last few days. Boston’s moves make sense, given circumstances. Atlanta looking to take one more swing w/Trae. Wiz clearing a ton of cap space for ’26. FVV deal is good for him and Houston. No real head scratchers. – 12:18 PM

Good news for the NBA: the Hawks going for it this year probably means that the Spurs are getting worse picks from Atlanta in 26 and 27. That’s a potential bullet dodged for everyone else, assuming Trae Young extends. Last thing anyone wants is more assets for Wemby’s team. – 8:17 PM

So Atlanta has Trae-Dyson-Risacher-Jalen-Porzingis-Okongwu-No. 13 pick, plus around $28 million below the tax with a $25 million trade exception from the Dejounte Murray deal.
That’s pretty interesting in a weak East provided KP stays healthy. – 8:02 PM

More on this storyline
What’s your sense as far as the Sacramento Kings’ aggression or lack thereof going into the summer?” Sam Amick: “Yeah, I mean, I do have indications that they are looking at a lot. I don’t know how much they’re going to overhaul the roster, but I think they’re looking at big stuff. I think they’re looking at small stuff.” “You know, the point guard pursuit is very real. I don’t know where they’ll land on that front. It’s kind of a, ‘If only Jrue Holiday was five years younger’ type thing. That kind of option has been considered and explored, but it’s imperfect because of his age.” “And then if you go younger, there are a lot of Trae Young rumors. My understanding is there’s not interest there—unless it came attached to a bunch of first-round picks. So, I don’t know what the outcome will be on the point guard side.” -via YouTube / June 18, 2025
Trae Young: Hell nahh🤣 -via x.com / June 11, 2025
While Sacramento has interest in Garland, multiple league sources told RG that the Atlanta Hawks have spoken with the Kings on a potential trade framework centered around Trae Young in recent weeks. However, those talks have since stalled. -via Responsible Gaming / June 10, 2025
