It is revealed that the king is considering signing Westbrook! He is also interested in Kumingga and has no intention of renewing his contract with Lavin in advance

On June 26, according to TA's famous reporter Sam Amick, the Kings are considering signing a point guard, and their targets now include Schroeder, Tyame Jones and Westbrook. In addition, the king is also very interested in Kumingga and has no intention of renewing his contract with Lavine early this summer.

League sources said the Kings had explored the possibility of Ju Holiday (before he was traded from Boston to Portland), but ended up worried about his age (35) and salary costs (total $104.4 million, including player options for the 2027-28 season). League sources say the Kings are not interested in pursuing Trae Young because of his playing style (offensively centered) and salary costs (he is eligible for a renewal this summer, but will earn $45.9 million next season and a $48.9 million player option for the 2026-27 season).

These situations provide a reference for the Kings' second wave of point guard chases, who are now turning to a more pay-friendly free agent option. League and team sources said the Kings are indeed interested in veteran Dennis Schroeder. Of course, the premise is that he didn't first reach an agreement with the Detroit Pistons (area source said he has been negotiating with the Pistons this week). Free players Tyame Jones and Russell Westbrook are also considered options the Kings are considering. The free agent market will officially open next Monday afternoon local time.

However, besides the vacant point guard position, league sources said the Kings were open to discussing the various possibilities of the lineup. It's no surprise that they are willing to listen to any player's offer.

Zach Laven (total $96.4 million, including player options for the 2026-27 season) is the top of it. Although the 30-year-old two-time All-Star player is eligible for a contract renewal this summer, team and league sources say the Kings have no plans to prioritize a new deal with LaVine.

It is obvious that if they were to pay such a salary, it would be for a younger player who can be a long-term member of the team. To this end, league sources say the Kings are one of the teams interested in the Warriors’ Kuminga and will follow its dynamics as his restricted free agent market begins. While it seems unlikely that Cuminga will eventually join the Kings, it shows their vision and the possibilities here, and they even focus on such players.

Kuminga's first free agent attempt was not only to find the contract he wanted, but also to find the role he wanted.

On the basis of cornerstone players, team and league sources said the Kings continued to express their commitment to veteran big man Sabonis. Although Sabonis’ dissatisfaction with the team’s handling of the Fox incident has been widely reported, league sources said Sabonis did not request a deal and had a positive preliminary discussion with Perry about the Kings’ vision this summer. Sabonis, the 29-year-old three-time All-Star, will receive a total of $140.3 million in the next three seasons, and he has been patient with the process so far. Of course, if the Kings could sign a quality point guard, he would feel better.
