Domantas Sabonis and Sasha Vezenkov will be the blondest frontcourt in the NBA next season. High-basketball IQ here and effectiveness on both ends of the floor. #BeamTeam #SacramentoProud11:31 AM

Fun fact: Bruce Brown has a higher average salary than Domantas Sabonis and Dejounte Murray. pic.twitter.com/o5PfwSTnRK6:24 PM

FWIW, the Kings wouldn’t need to use cap room to reno Sabonis if an extension fits within 140% of his salary this next season. Only if it’s more would that be needed. I don’t know his market yet, as the landscape is evolving with the new deal – 9:56 PM

I will say: I’m a little confused about the Kings’ decision to trade the No. 24 pick to get off of the Richaun Holmes deal unless this leads to a corresponding free agency move or a re-negotiation and extension for Sabonis. – 8:44 PM
Eric Pincus @EricPincus
Kings, I expect, reno-and-extend Sabonis, keep Lyles and have about ~$8 mil ish for either T Davis or a FA. Then the RMLE (~$7.7m) for one more upgrade. Something like that – 8:31 PM

Jason Anderson: League source confirms to The Sacramento Bee: Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis has agreed to a contract renegotiation and extension worth a total of $217 million over five years. I’m told there are no team or player options. Massive deal that is good for both sides. -via Twitter @JandersonSacBee / July 1, 2023
Bobby Marks: Sacramento still has flexibility this offseason after the Harrison Barnes extension. Options include: 1. Using $18M in room and also bring back Trey Lyles; 2. A combination of renegotiating Domantas Sabonis contract, bringing back Lyles, use remaining room and also the $7.7M room midlevel. 3. Act as a team over the cap -via Twitter @BobbyMarks42 / June 29, 2023
