Sacramento open to trading Willie Cauley-Stein

New Kings coach Dave Joerger has reduced Willie Cauley-Stein’s role to less than 15 minutes a game, which could lead to a trade, ESPN reports.

Sacramento is open to moving the second-year big man, once the initial idea of pairing him with DeMarcus Cousins to form an athletic, formidable front line hasn't worked.

Cauley-Stein is averaging 4.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game this season.
