That earned him a four-year contract in free agency worth more than $46.5 million. However, things began souring during the 2021-22 season. He started all 61 games he played that year and led the team with 6.1 win shares, per Basketball Reference. Holmes produced one rebound in eight minutes during Thursdays 125-110 loss to the Grizzlies. Holmes saw his opportunities drop throughout the season and things hit rock bottom once Sabonis was acquired. The Kings rewarded Holmes with a four-year, 46.5 million extension, but that contract. This season he has appeared in only 15 games, and according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, has emerged as a trade candidate. Holmes is owed a combined $36.14 million, including his player option through the 2024-25 season.” “Since a breakout campaign during the 2020-21 season, Kings center Richaun Holmes has seen his role reduced drastically two seasons later. His annual salary isn’t too bad to absorb, but the length of the deal is going to be an issue. That is not going to be an easy contract to move as teams aren’t going to be lining up to take on a player that is owed money through 2025 but hasn’t been a consistent part of the Kings’ rotation.īut, Holmes has shown that he is more than capable of providing production as a rotation center in the right environment. He is an efficient scorer and strong rebounder, offering some shot-blocking as well. It won’t cost too much to acquire him, so there are probably some teams looking to shore up their frontcourt that would be willing to take a shot on him and hope he can return to the form he showed during the 2020-21 season.
