Advertisement Because of this, the Kings could still look to add another point guard this offseason either through free agency or via trade and they have recently emerged as a potential landing spot for a former New York Knicks point guard. According to Kings play-by-play announcer Kyle Draper, Cameron Payne has interest in joining Sacramento in free agency this offseason. 'His representatives are trying to angle him to Sac,' Draper said about Payne.

Last season, the 30-year-old guard averaged 6.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting 40.1% from the field and 36.3% from three in 72 games in New York.

Schröder, who turns 32 in September, has averaged 13.9 points on 43.2-percent shooting from the field and 34.2 percent from 3-point range, with 2.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 27.3 minutes.

Lakers Receive Unfortunate News on Free Agency Target
Lakers Receive Unfortunate News on Free Agency Target originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers have had some good news and bad news this offseason. Most notably, they signed Deandre Ayton as their starting center for eight million next season, but also lost Dorian Finney-Smith to the Houston Rockets. Advertisement With Finney-Smith no longer on the team, the Lakers must turn to potential replacements. One option is De'Anthony Melton, who has been linked to Los Angeles. The rumblings were so strong that Jake Fischer reported last Thursday that "we're just still expecting he will eventually sign with the Lakers." Melton only appeared in six games for the Golden State Warriors last season before tearing his ACL, but he averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists while shooting 37.1% from three. After suffering his season-ending injury, they traded him for Dennis Schroder. Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (8)© Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Melton would make sense as a Finney-Smith replacement, but as it turns out, he may not be a Laker after all next season. Marc Stein reported that the Warriors appear to be the Melton free agency sweepstakes leaders. Advertisement "The Warriors have emerged as a strong contender to bring back De'Anthony Melton in free agency, league sources tell (Stein), in addition to Golden State's well-chronicled interest in signing Al Horford," Stein wrote. The Warriors technically have not signed anyone yet this offseason, but have lost Kevon Looney, as he signed with the New Orleans Pelicans. Adding Melton and Horford to a team that was up 1-0 in the Western Conference Semifinals before Stephen Curry's hamstring injury would make it a successful offseason for them. If Melton is off the table for Los Angeles, they could turn to Gary Payton II and Amir Coffey as potential Finney-Smith replacements.

Kings steal Dennis Schroder from Pistons with $45 million contract in free agency
The post Kings steal Dennis Schroder from Pistons with $45 million contract in free agency appeared first on ClutchPoints. Veteran point guard Dennis Schroder and the Sacramento Kings, came to an agreement in free agency on Monday evening, league sources told ClutchPoints. As the Kings continued to look for ways to maximize their offer for Schroder, discussions about whether they would do a sign-and-trade loomed large. Advertisement Ultimately, after trading Jonas Valanciunas to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, the Kings were able to finalize a three-year, $45 million contract with Schroder to become the newest face of their backcourt. Malik Monk, who was brought up in multiple sign-and-trade scenarios between the Kings and Detroit Pistons, will remain own Sacramento's roster for the moment. ESPN was first to report the terms of Schroder's contract on Tuesday. Schroder, 31, had become a free-agent target for multiple contending teams around the league this offseason. Although Schroder made it clear he was seeking a new contract with the Pistons, who he had been traded to during the 2024-25 season, the organization wasn't prepared to wait for him with other players available on the open market. The Pistons acquired Schroder from the Utah Jazz immediately after he was traded by the Golden State Warriors in a multi-team deal that sent All-Star forward Jimmy Butler to the Dubs. Before going to Detroit or Utah, Schroder was traded from the Brooklyn Nets to the Warriors for De'Anthony Melton, who had suffered a torn ACL, and three second-round picks. Advertisement No matter where he has been throughout his 12 years in the NBA, Schroder has been a productive factor for his team in the backcourt, either in or out of the starting lineup. During the 2019-20 season when he was with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Schroder finished second in the voting for Sixth Man of the Year to Montrezl Harrell. In 75 combined games with the Nets, Warriors, and Pistons last season, Schroder averaged 13.1 points and 5.4 assists per game while shooting 40.6 percent from the floor and 34.2 percent from 3-point range. He will immediately become a contributing factor for the Kings, who have other questions to address this offseason outside of finding a lead guard in their backcourt. The Kings, run by new GM Scott Perry, are operating with all doors open regarding the future of the franchise. After missing the playoffs for the second straight year and trading De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs, the Kings are expected to make further changes to their roster. More specifically, DeMar DeRozan and Monk continue to appear in trade rumors around the league. Advertisement Numerous teams have also called Sacramento to express interest in All-Star big man Domantas Sabonis, yet the Kings have not given any indications that they want to move on from their star big man, sources said. Still, a lot of uncertainty surrounds his future with this organization. By adding Schroder, the Kings are hopeful that he will help bridge some gaps that exist between Sabonis, Zach LaVine, and others on the roster. He has always been a solid presence in the backcourt, and Schroder is more than capable of leading his team's offense at any speed. The Kings will be the 10th different organization that Dennis Schroder has played for in the NBA.
