Mason Jones has agreed to a Two-Way deal with the Sacramento Kings.

Jones has appeared in 13 games in the G League this season, averaging 12.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 27.9 minutes. 

The Sacramento Kings have agreed to sign Keon Ellis to a three-year standard NBA deal.

Ellis had been on a Two-Way deal with the Kings.

In 29 games this season, Ellis is averaging 3.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 11.9 minutes.

Ellis is represented by Corey Marcum.

The Sacramento Kings have agreed to acquire Robin Lopez and cash from the Milwaukee Bucks.

Lopez is expected to be waived to become a free agent. 

The trade opens up a roster spot for the Bucks and also saves $8.6 million toward the luxury tax. 

Every year when the All-Star teams are announced in full, it's followed by a chorus of complaints about which players were snubbed. This year, a lot of that focus has been on the Sacramento Kings duo of De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.

Kings coach Mike Brown joined the chorus to campaign for his two stars.

“It’s clear to anyone who watches the NBA and Kings basketball that De’Aaron and Domantas should have been selected for this year’s All-Star game,” Brown told Andscape. “They are playing at an unbelievably elite level, Domantas establishing historic numbers with his double-doubles and De’Aaron setting a new career mark for 3-point field goals. Every year, there are deserving players left off the team but, to me, this is truly a glaring wrongdoing.”

Not making the All-Star team is particularly impactful for Sabonis. The veteran center will miss out on a $1.3 million bonus, unless he's named as an injury replacement. Given no Western Conference All-Stars are currently dealing with long-term injuries, that seems unlikely to happen.
