Potential Free Agent/Trade/Sign Tracker, '25-'26 Season

Cousins was a much better scorer. All 3 levels as they say. Sabonis is a better rebounder, passer, and screener. Who is better . It depends what your team needs.

don't know what the Wiz would do with Sabonis but teams have snagged some talent from the Wiz in the past in Avdija, Hachimura and Gafford maybe there is another player there that could blossom with more time and development

Even if the deal was just like Bilal, Middleton’s expiring, whatever other random dude the Wizards need us to take to make the salaries work, the OKC first this season that’s probably going to be 30th overall barring an unprecedented meltdown, the Portland 1st in 2030, and a bunch of seconds, I’d probably be cool pulling the trigger

Unlike rodman, sabonis is a below average defender and a guy who demands touches.

Ill never understand people defending sabonis the way they do. Great king, will go down as a fan favorite. But we can be honest about the player he is. Defensive liability, non existent as a rim protector, great rebounder, great screen setter, not a guy you give the ball to when you need a bucket.

We all watched the warriors series where a coach's answer to sabonis was to play him 1v1 and sag off using kevon looney. That simple coaching decision broke the kings offense and rendered the dho useless. Sabonis forced the issue drawing offensive fouls and turnovers. We suddenly turned into an iso ball team of fox/monk taking turns.

We can respect and appreciate sabonis game and contribution to the Kings, without forcing him to be a guy he wasnt. This year was further evidence that without building the system around him perfectly, he struggles immensely offensively.

I chalk it up to half the fan base upset at fox so turned to the well sabonis is our best guy anyways. Soon sabonis will get traded and the reality will set in with these folks.

And you didn’t even get to his defensive liabilities comical that some think he was close to a top ten player there’s a reason the return for Sabonis is gonna be beyond mid teams know you’re not truly contending with him
