The Los Angeles Lakers want to swing a trade, and could go after a guard you can shoot the three and play some defense. The post Lakers Told to Trade for $5 Million Sharpshooting Guard appeared first on Heavy Sports.

Sacramento Kings general manager Scott Perry clarifies the team's stance on Keon Ellis amid negative rumors and recent lack of playing time.

It’s the unofficial start of NBA trade season. As of today — Monday, Dec. 15 — 79 players who signed or extended their contracts last summer became eligible to be traded. That means the options have greatly expanded for front offices trying to match salaries and develop trade packages that work for both sides.

No one can effectively explain why Doug Christie keeps leaving Keon Ellis and Devin Carter on the bench for Sacramento Kings' games.

The Lakers could make a run for Kings 3-and-D player Keon Ellis ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, per The Athletic's Sam Amick.

League sources say that the Lakers would naturally like to be in the 3-and-D market this Trade Season, but it's a very limited market at this juncture, essentially headlined by Sacramento's Keon Ellis despite the fact that Ellis is playing seven fewer minutes per game this season under Kings coach Doug Christie than he did last season.

With Zach LaVine on the injured list, the Sacramento Kings need to look to Nique Clifford, Devin Carter, and Keon Ellis for coverage.
