With the unofficial starting date for trade season coming up on December 15, the Sacramento Kings are preparing to make big moves. One of them will likely include Keon Ellis, a fan favorite player who the Sactown faithful will be upset to see leave, but whose departure is all but assured.
When you really step back and take a look at it, moving Keon doesn't make a lot of sense. The Kings need young players with a defensive mindset who can still score. That's Keon Ellis in a nutshell. He should be at the core of Sacramento's rebuild alongside Keegan Murray and Nique Clifford.
