As the 2026-27 NBA season inches closer, the Sacramento Kings roster is looking more and more final by the day as veterans Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, and Malik Monk all remain on the team after an offseason of speculation. There are still questions about LaVine's role, and recent rumors of the Kings bringing in another guard to mentor Darius Acuff Jr, but other than a few final spots here or there, the roster seems set for next season as a whole.With that in mind, let's take a look at the Kings' contracts, options, and depth chart with the roster as it currently stands.ContractsThe Kings' contracts can be broken down into three main categories: small, medium, and large. Standing alone at the high end of the spectrum are LaVine and Sabonis.
• Zach LaVine: 2026-27 – $49.0 million
• Domantas Sabonis: 2026-27 – $45.5 million, 2027-28 - $48.6 million
Thankfully for the Kings, LaVine's contract is set to come off the books after this season, but Sabonis still has another year at $48.6 million for the 2027-28 season. Only time will tell if it will be the Kings paying him that money, or if they'll be able to find a trade partner to take on Sabonis' contract at the trade deadline or next offseason.Standing in the middle ground is the trio of De'Andre Hunter, Keegan Murray, and Malik Monk. This is the area where the Kings are lacking intermediate contracts. That can make trades harder to pull off, especially with Murray being likely off the table. Hunter could end up being the Kings best trade chip at the deadline as an expiring contract who plays a position of need across the league.• De’Andre Hunter: 2026-27 – $24.9 million
