The 24-year-old guard will be seeking a new contract worth about $9 million per year, which would be slightly higher than the four-year, $34.6 million deal De’Anthony Melton signed with the Memphis Grizzlies in November.
The Kings have until Aug. 1 — the day before free agency begins — to extend a qualifying offer to Davis or he will become an unrestricted free agent. If the Kings tender a qualifying offer and Davis rejects it, he will enter restricted free agency, giving Sacramento the right to match any offer he receives.
Davis was a name I was interested in when he went undrafted. I thought he has looked really promising when I have seen him in both Toronto and Sacramento.
Although, I believe he had an off court issue. And it is worrisome the Raptors traded him for a second round pick. Maybe they didn't think they could keep him, but that is a little concerning.
He is a talented player though. Although he needs to firm up some of his game. Appears to be a wild colt out on the court at times.
