Sam Amick: So, it feels like that the focus for the Warriors, I mean, for one, I was actually told that that Keegan Murray and Keon Ellis have not even been discussed for what it's worth. And then on top of that, if the Warriors focus seems to be on the pick and if the Kings went the Warriors request is then go completely unprotected on the 2030 first rounder. And I think if the Kings obliged, then it feels like that deal would get done. And so it feels like the focus is more on the pick than it is them trying to get any other young prospects from the Kings.
Kuminga wants a fresh start with a new team and the Warriors have given him reason to question their commitment to him. He likes the opportunity the Kings have presented, but the Warriors seem unwilling to accept a package featuring Devin Carter, Dario Saric and draft compensation, which could a protected first-round pick or multiple second-round picks. The Warriors would probably be quick to pull the trigger on a deal involving Keegan Murray or Keon Ellis. However, a source with knowledge of trade conversations told The Sacramento Bee that Murray and Ellis have not been discussed and both are considered off limits in talks for Kuminga.
James Ham: According to a league source, the Sacramento Kings have picked up Keon Ellis’ option for this season. Barring an extension, he will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
James Ham: League source confirms that the Kings picked up their non-guaranteed option for Isaac Jones. They also tendered a two-way qualifying offer on Isaiah Crawford. Still waiting for word on Keon Ellis’ option. @KeithSmithNBA first with the news.
