Gabe Vincent's 'Standing' Contract Offer Revealed in New NBA Rumors Following Knicks Interest

Veteran guard Gabe Vincent has a "standing offer" from the Sacramento Kings, according The Stein Line's Mark Stein.

Stein previously reported in September the New York Knicks showed interest in Vincent, but he "elected to wait for a more sure-fire opportunity."

The Atlanta Hawks acquired Vincent from the Los Angeles Lakers midway through the 2025-26 season, with Luke Kennard heading to Los Angeles. In 53 games between the two teams, he averaged 4.4 points and 1.4 assists in 16.6 minutes on the floor.

The 30-year-old was another Miami Heat player development success story by the time he last hit free agency in 2023. Starting his career in the NBA G League, he emerged as a valuable role player for Miami.

Vincent's performance in the 2023 playoffs couldn't have lined up better. He shot 37.8 percent from beyond the arc and averaged 12.7 points as Miami reached the NBA Finals.

The Lakers signed Vincent to a three-year, $33 million contract that summer. The move proved to be a costly mistake for L.A.

Injuries limited Vincent to 11 games in his first year in purple and gold, and he was generally unable to recapture the peak he enjoyed in South Florida. During the Lakers' back-to-back first-round playoff exits, he scored 21 total points and went 5-of-20 from long range.

Perhaps as a result of the knee trouble from early in his Los Angeles tenure, Vincent has become almost exclusively a three-point shooter. He maintained a 62.9 percent three-point rate in Miami, and that number climbed to 75.8 percent over the past two years, per Basketball Reference.

That's not ideal for a player who has a sub-34 percent career clip from deep.

Vincent historically hasn't been much of a playmaker, either. According to Basketball Reference, he's dishing out 3.5 assists per 36 minutes through his seven seasons.

The Kings would at the very least give Vincent a showcase. He'd be an option off the bench behind starting guards Darius Acuff Jr. and Zach LaVine.

When Sacramento is 1-10 to open the season, it's easy to see why he's still waiting to see if a different opportunity presents itself.
