REVEALED: HOW KEON ELLIS’ $2.3M CONTRACT BECAME THE LEAGUE’S ULTIMATE TRADE LEVERAGE TOOL
The Los Angeles Lakers are high on Keon Ellis as Sacramento demands a first-round pick. Inside the NBA's weirdest trade war.
The Lakers always get attention, and everyone loves an underdog story. Keon Ellis from the Kings is one: an overlooked guy from a football-focused school who wasn't drafted but worked hard to find his place in the NBA.
He's in his fourth year with Sacramento. They started him as a two-way player and moved him to a regular contract. He got better each year, scoring 8.3 points and shooting well from three (43.3%) last season. Plus, he became known as a tough defender.
But now, the Kings are struggling (6-22) after trying to build a playoff team. So, people are noticing Ellis, not just for his defence or shooting, but because many teams want to trade for him once the Kings start selling off players from this disappointing season. Surprisingly, Ellis is a popular name on the trade market.
One NBA GM said, Almost everyone in the league has asked about him. The Lakers are often mentioned, but…
The Strange Case of Keon Ellis This Season
What makes the Ellis interest even weirder is that he's had minor injuries, and his role has decreased this year. He's only averaging 5.3 points, shooting 39.5% from the field and 35.6% from three. His shooting is the worst it's ever been, and he's playing fewer minutes (17.3 per game) compared to last year (24.4).
Yet, the Lakers have him high on their trade list this winter, and so do others. The Kings hope this interest will get them a first-round pick in return.
The GM said, He's not a star or going to be one, and he hasn't even played great this season. But he has a couple of things going for him that are boosting his value. First, he fits in anywhere. Every team needs someone who can shoot and defend.
Second, he's cheap at $2.3 million. You could trade a player from the end of your bench and some second-round picks to get a guy who would be in almost any team's rotation.
Lakers, Knicks, and Others Interested
Ellis is a free agent after this season, which can be a drawback in a trade. But since his salary is low and a team would get his Bird rights in a trade, they could re-sign him next summer without affecting their salary cap. That's the Lakers' plan.
For other teams, Ellis is a chance to improve their roster without breaking the league's spending rules. So, even though he's not playing as well this season, Ellis is still wanted. He's the rare player who appeals to both coaches and accountants.
Besides the Lakers, teams like the Knicks, Magic, Heat, and Trail Blazers are interested in Ellis. Others are or will be involved, which could drive up the price to a first-round pick.
The GM said, It's hard to imagine giving up a first-rounder for him, and I don't think it will go that high. But the Kings are right to ask for it, and maybe someone will bite in the end.
PATRICK MAHOMES BEGINS INTENSIVE REHAB FOR TORN ACL TARGETING WEEK 1
Patrick Mahomes begins his ACL recovery as Travis Kelce sparks retirement talk while winning a gold chain at the WM Phoenix Open.
For the first time in four years, the Kansas City Chiefs aren’t gearing up for the Super Bowl in February. That’s sent Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce down two very different roads—both unfamiliar in their own way.
Mahomes is in rehab mode, working hard to recover from the ACL he tore back in Week 15. Meanwhile, Kelce’s enjoying his offseason, even as questions about his retirement keep circling after 13 standout years in the NFL.
Both guys love to hit the golf course when they get the chance. But with Mahomes sidelined by his injury, he’s stuck watching from afar. Kelce, on the other hand, got out there for the WM Phoenix Open on February 4. He showed he’s got more than just football skills, too.
“TRAVIS KELCE WITH AN ABSOLUTE DART ON THE 16TH,” Golf Channel posted, hyping up his tee shot on the par 3. He stuck it close and took home the gold WM chain. Mahomes, probably watching from his couch, cheered Kelce on with a quick, fired-up message.
The Chiefs are waiting on Kelce to decide if he’s coming back, and they need an answer soon—ideally before the new league year starts in mid-March. That’s when teams start making trades and signing free agents, about six weeks ahead of the draft in late April.
Kansas City ended last season 6-11, missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade. It’s a rough spot after years of deep postseason runs, five Super Bowl appearances, and three championships. Now, the Chiefs are $54.7 million over the salary cap, the biggest deficit in the NFL, just days before the Super Bowl.
On the upside, they hold the ninth and fortieth picks in the draft. There’s a real chance they could add two rookies who can step in and help right away, giving Mahomes and Kelce some support if Kelce returns.
But Kelce’s motivations? Still anyone’s guess. If he wants one more shot at glory, maybe he comes back. But the Chiefs are facing some tough roster decisions, and another Super Bowl run won’t come easy. Mahomes has to get healthy, and both stars will be another year older by 2026.
Off the field, Kelce’s options look even brighter. His “New Heights” podcast is a hit, and everyone expects TV networks to line up with big offers once he retires. Plus, he’s about to marry Taylor Swift. With so much happening in his personal life, that could tip the scales on whether he calls it a career or suits up for another season.
TRADE MAP: DISCOVER THE EIGHT PLAYERS MOVING IN THE ANTHONY DAVIS BLOCKBUSTER DEAL
The Dallas Mavericks trade Anthony Davis to the Wizards in an 8-player deal, receiving Khris Middleton and five future draft picks.
The Dallas Mavericks just made a huge move, trading 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards in an eight-player deal, according to ESPN.
Dallas gets Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, and Marvin Bagley III, along with two first-round and three second-round draft picks. Washington picks up Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell, and Dante Exum.
The NBA trade deadline hits Thursday at 3 p.m. ET, so the clock’s ticking.
Davis hasn’t seen the court since January 8 because of a hand injury. Before that, he suited up for 20 out of 50 Mavericks games this season, averaging 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.7 blocks. Last season, after that infamous trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers in February 2025, Davis only started nine times. Fans hated the deal, and the backlash ended up costing GM Nico Harrison his job in November.
In total, Davis started 29 games for Dallas, posting 20.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.8 blocks. The team went 16-13 with him in the lineup.
Right now, the Mavericks are struggling. They’re 19-31, riding a five-game losing streak, and sitting 12th in the Western Conference as they head into a home game against the Spurs.
The Wizards aren’t faring much better. At 13-36, they’re tied for 14th in the East.
Davis is actually the second big-name veteran the Wizards have landed this winter. They traded for four-time All-Star Trae Young from Atlanta on January 9, but he hasn’t played yet because of MCL and quad injuries.
Khris Middleton is the other major piece in this deal. He’s a three-time All-Star and won an NBA title with the Bucks in 2021. The 34-year-old averaged 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 34 games for Washington this year.
Bagley and Russell have both been putting up double figures, too. Bagley, 26, averaged 10.1 points and 5.7 rebounds in 38 games for Washington. Russell scored 10.2 points with 4.0 assists in 26 games for Dallas.
