The Charlotte Hornets are reportedly targeting All-Star center Domantas Sabonis in trade talks. Sabonis, who has two years, $94 million remaining on his contract, is a three-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA selection. The Hornets are looking to add more toughness inside, particularly after their lack of size was exposed in their play-in tournament elimination. The team holds the No. 14 and No. 18 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, but Sacramento reportedly wants one of those selections to part with Sabonis. The Hornets haven't been willing to meet that asking price. Sabonis is one of the very best rebounders in the league while also being a gifted playmaker, solid interior scorer, and efficient low-volume three-point shooter. This feels like a good match for both teams, but Charlotte would be smart not to give up a top-20 pick for him at that salary. The Celtics have been mentioned as a possible Giannis suitor, and that would require shipping Jaylen Brown out to a third team. NBA insider Sam Amick said pump the breaks on any Brown trade talk, telling a local Boston outlet 'There's no sign that they're putting Jaylen out there at all.' Brown is owed $183 million over the next three seasons. That's a massive contract even for someone as good as he is. The Pelicans' wing will be 26 years old for next season, and he's one of the better shooters and off-ball scorers in the NBA. Don't think the Pelicans are going to trade Murphy for picks just because the team has finished with 21 and 26 wins the last two seasons. New Orleans wants players who can help now, not future assets, for Murphy if he is moved, according to insider Jake Fischer.
