The Kings will try to close a trade for Richaun Holmes

The good moment that the Sacramento Kings are going through has in turn claimed its first victim. Richaun Holmes, until recently the team’s starting center, has seen the addition of Domantas Sabonis and the arrival of Mike Brown as the new head coach have completely pushed him out of the rotation. In fact, Holmes hasn’t played a single minute in six of the last seven games.

Chimezie Metu and Trey Lyles have also surpassed him from the second unit, so the California offices are exploring the market with a view to closing a transfer for him, according to journalist James Ham. Holmes has another two years left on his contract for a total of $25 million, with the 2024-25 season subject to a player option.

The gerente general of the Kings, Monte McNair, has proven to be aggressive in the market and is aware that the Kings roster needs some adjustments, mainly in the defensive section. A deficiency that would try to be addressed through the transfer of Holmes, of which the only thing left to be verified is his poster in the NBA as a result of his current situation.

In his four seasons in Sacramento, Holmes, 29, has played a total of 159 games, 136 of them as a starter, in which he has averaged 12.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.
