NBA Season 2025-26

The Sacramento Kings are reportedly seeking a first-round pick for Keon Ellis, per James L. Edwards III (The Athletic).

I am curious if the Celtics would make a genuine offer for Ellis. He seems like such a Mazzulla type player.

With 1st round picks being more valuable under the new CBA, and players like Trae Young not even getting a first round pick, how likely is it that Ellis will get one?

agreed.  if Trae can't garner even one, Ellis won't either.  a couple of seconds and trade filler probably

The article I read did say a "late round' first, but it's still steep.

Ellis and Saric for Hauser

Ellis and Saric for Hauser

Saric doesn't add anything.  So, it's essentially Ellis + filler for Hauser.  I think that makes us worse.
