The Sacramento Kings picked up contract options for De’Aaron Fox and Marvin Bagley III on Thursday. They also declined options on Harry Giles and Caleb Swanigan. Picking up options on Fox and Bagley was a no-brainer decision for the Kings, as was declining Swanigan. The move that stands out is declining Harry’s option.
James Ham relayed information from the Kings regarding Giles:
According to a league source, the Kings love Giles and will continue to support his development. This decision does not mean that he can't be a part of the future.
