Sacramento doesn't hold any team options, so there's no built-in flexibility with the roster. The front office must be creative to make changes while likely staying below the projected luxury tax of $172 million.

Right now, Sacramento has a full non-taxpayer mid-level exception of $12.9 million. That number may drop if Malik Monk is back, but trading any of Davion Mitchell, Chris Duarte or Sasha Vezenkov, for example, would return some space for that NTMLE.

Murray, the fourth overall pick of the 2022 draft, is slated to earn a team-friendly $8.8 million in his third NBA season.
