Vanderbilt, LaRavia, Knecht and Bronny pitched as a package for De'Andre Hunter

With Jonathan Kuminga signed in Minnesota on a two-year, $12.4 million deal, Los Angeles is floated as a suitor for Sacramento's De'Andre Hunter, who is on an expiring $24.9 million contract.

One suggested package builds around Jarred Vanderbilt's $12.4 million salary plus Jake LaRavia, Dalton Knecht, Bronny James and draft compensation. The catch: Sacramento carries only 13 players and may balk at Vanderbilt's extra years, so a third team would likely be needed to absorb him.
