In his Bleacher Report NBA insider updates, Jake Fischer revealed that the Sacramento Kings' asking price remains steep and is unwilling to be met by the Hornets and other teams for Sabonis. "Right now, there's going to be continued disconnect between the Kings wanting to get back positive value and draft compensation for Sabonis compared to other teams not so eager to give Sabonis the contract extension he's looking for," Fischer said. "I'm skeptical at this juncture how much market there is for Sabonis at the Kings’ current asking price. I don't think Charlotte is really motivated to meet the Kings' asking price." If the situation changes, Fischer noted that the Hornets could once again emerge as a team interested in pursuing the big man. "If that Kings' asking price comes down, I would think that Charlotte is still a team monitor in Sabonis’ ultimate trade landscape," Fischer added. "But I don't think anything is coming to fruition anytime soon."
