The Kings have “expressed exploratory trade interest” in the 30-year-old guard, according to a report from The New York Times’ Marc Stein, which cites unidentified league sources. The Trail Blazers, Pelicans and 76ers have all also been previously linked to Lin.
Atlanta has also made big man Dewayne Dedmon and wing Kent Bazemore available ahead of the Feb. 7 trade deadline, the report says.
