New Warriors Rumors on Kristaps Porzingis Contract amid Giannis, Mitchell Robinson, Sabonis Buzz

It might be a very busy summer for big men across the NBA, as teams play musical chairs with their rosters.

Some players may be staying put, however. According to NBA Insider Jake Fischer, the Golden State Warriors are "hopeful they can re-sign Kristaps Porziņģis on more of a cap-friendly deal after absorbing his $30.7 million expiring contract from Atlanta on Deadline Day in February."

Domantas Sabonis, on the other hand, is among the players expecting to be moved. Per Fischer, "The Kings' former All-Star center is another name, behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Memphis' Ja Morant, that league executives are projecting to be made available once again as part of this summer's trade landscape. Sacramento is known to be looking to shed some significant salary if it can this offseason and seems likely to field more interest in Sabonis than other veterans."

New York Knicks backup big man Mitchell Robinson, meanwhile, is "expected to draw significant free agent interest this summer," free throw woes be dammed. Fischer listed the Chicago Bulls, Charlotte Hornets, Los Angeles Lakers and Toronto Raptors as teams that regularly come up in league circles when Robinson's pending free agency is discussed.

Porziņģis, 30, appeared in just 15 games for the Dubs after being a midseason acquisition, averaging 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. On paper he makes sense as a floor-spacing, rim-protecting big man for the Warriors, but the reality is that injuries and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome will probably keep Porziņģis off the floor for half of the season.

At a discounted rate, that's a trade-off the Warriors can make as they look to build one last contender around Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. It's far less worth it on anything close to the $30.7 million salary he was paid last season.

Then there's Sabonis. The Kings desperately need to rebuild this roster after winning just 22 games last season. A core of Sabonis, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, De'Andre Hunter, Keegan Murray and Malik Monk just isn't going to cut it.

Rebuilding around this year's No. 7 overall pick and Murray makes far more sense than maintaining the status quo, and Sabonis is the one player with actual trade value amongst the veterans. The 30-year-old averaged 15.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists this past season, though his inability to stretch the floor limits his overall effectiveness.

The 28-year-old Robinson doesn't stretch the floor either, he's injury-prone and he just shot 40.8 percent from the free-throw line for an entire season. But he protects the basket (1.2 BPG) and rebounds at a high level (8.8 RPG in just 19.6 MPG this past season), giving him value for teams looking to bolster their defense.

Relying on Robinson as your No. 1 center carries risk. But he's been very effective coming off the bench for the Knicks, a role that would make sense for him on other contenders as well.
