The Sacramento Kings have popped up in NBA trade rumors this summer with early buzz that the front office wants to shed payroll and offload several veterans for a rebuild. It appears one of those key starters could have interest from the Eastern Conference.
NBA insider Marc Stein mentioned that if the Detroit Pistons are unable to get involved as a third team in a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade to acquire Tyler Herro, they could pivot to acquiring All-Star guard Zach LaVine.

Stein made it clear that LaVine would not be a top target for Detroit. Instead, the Pistons have interest in Coby White and Isaiah Joe, with an eye also on the trade market for either Kyrie Irving or Trey Murphy III. If none of those players can be acquired, then Detroit could pivot to LaVine.
