Sacramento’s front office is taking a gamble with Keon Ellis, picking up his team option instead of locking him into a long-term deal after a breakout season. Ellis has become a defensive standout and is hitting 43% from deep—exactly the kind of player you want to keep. The move gives the Kings flexibility to add talent now, but it also means Ellis could walk as an unrestricted free agent next year. With the team’s tight cap situation and history of avoiding the luxury tax, it’s a risky play. Is this a smart bet on the future, or are the Kings risking losing a key piece? #Sports #Basketball #SacramentoKings
