Sacramento considered highly likely to trade Nemanja Bjelica before trade deadline

Serbian forward Nemanja Bjelica is in the final season of a three-year, $20.5 million contract with the Sacramento Kings, but he’s been dropped from Luke Walton’s rotation.

“That is for sure going to happen,” said Zach Lowe of a possible Bjelica trade on his podcast published Wednesday. “That’s clearly a ‘We’re just going to probably put on ice until we trade you’ kind of thing.”
