The Detroit Pistons might be interested in Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine, according to Marc Stein.
Though LaVine isn’t the only player listed on the Pistons radar, he is entering the final year of his contract and that might be helping the interest.
REPORT: The Pistons are interested in Zach LaVine, per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer.

The 31-year-old averaged 19.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.3, 47% from the field and 39% from three in 39 games last season.
This will be the final year of LaVine’s 5-year contract he inked with the Chicago Bulls. LaVine is expected to opt in to collect his remaining $49 million.
Trae Young Opting Out
Speaking of opting in or out, it was reported recently that Trae Young will opt out of his player option for $48 million next season. While he is expected to re-sign with the Wizards, “multiple teams are expected to have interest.” The Kings have been rumored in the past to be a suitor for Young. Highly doubtful anything transpires here, especially considering in January it was reported Sacramento still did not have interest, but worth noting.
Kingston Flemings Works Out With Kings
Separately, Kingston Flemings reportedly worked out with the Kings last week. Flemings is widely expected to be available when Sacramento selects 7th in next week’s NBA draft. The big question right now is will Darius Acuff Jr., who many believe is who the Kings want, be there as well at 7?
