2025-26 Cap Figure: $160,966,092

Cap Space Projection: No space, tax is possible

Having taken both Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan from the Chicago Bulls in the last year, the Kings have high future payroll commitments, with more than $151 million already committed to the 2026-27 season. In consideration of both this and the hard-capping that comes from using the full non-taxpayer amount of the mid-level exception, then, their free agency plans may be limited to only the taxpayer amount, which helpfully will slide into the space availed by the expiration of Trey Lyles’s contract.
