Unlikely Sac exercises that team option. It’s only a one year option and if they do then Keon becomes unrestricted free agent the next year. Sac will let Keon hit the market but try to resign him at a good number. The problem is he may draw better offers than people think and Sac has LeVine playing his spot.
Kuminga, Salaun and Green to the Kings
Valanciunas to the Warriors
DeRozan to the Hornets
