With Lauri Markkanen reportedly available, the Sacramento Kings could get their third star.
. However, after being linked with trades for Alex Caruso, Zach LaVine, Kyle Kuzma, and Brandon Ingram, a new name has emerged as a potential trade target for Sacramento, which could propel the Kings into title contention.All-Star Lauri Markkanen is likely available, stating “The teams negotiating with the Jazz do think there’s a good chance they’re going to move him.” Thehave reportedly shown interest in a trade for the 27-year-old from Finland.
It’s no secret the Kings are in the market for an upgrade at the forward position. After “running it back” in the 2023-24 season, the Kings lost in the play-in tournament and failed to make the playoffs despite finishing the regular season with a respectable 46 wins. Kings General Manager Monte McNair may feel now is the time to go all-in on a player like Markkanen to complement All-Stars De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.
Building a trade package for Markkanen would be tricky, as the Jazz will almost certainly want fan favorite and budding star Keegan Murray included in the deal. But Kings GM Monte McNair has shown no hesitation in the past to trade fan favorites in order to improve the roster. It will be interesting to see what the Kings do to improve their roster between now and the start of the 2024-25 NBA season in October.
