The Sacramento Kings are willing to deal third year point guard Isaiah Thomas, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.

Thomas is averaging career highs of 20.2 points and 6.3 assists per game for the Kings while still on his rookie contract, making him an extremely attractive piece of low-cost production for teams looking to add a player.

Thomas will be a restricted free agent after next season and is likely to draw sizable contract offers, so teams looking to acquire him would need upcoming cap space, or to bring Thomas on for the short term.
