[Game] 09/82: Kings vs. Thunder [NBA Cup Game] 07 NOV 2025, 7pm PT/10pm ET

[Capt. Factorial]

The Kings turn a fast break opportunity into a clock-running timeout. Well done!

 

[BuddyBuckets]

I'd bet he can't wait to get out. Can't blame him

Ya and this org is too stupid to trade him or play him. He should be playing 30mpg and should have already got an extension.

Hes going to head as far from here as he can this summer. Milwaukee for the MLE? I just hope its not the Lakers, couldn't stomach seeing that.

 

[Caccia]

Has there been an injury?

Yes, LaVine missed the last game.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Who doesn’t have flaws in the league?

Right. Nobody flourishes if they are not allowed to play through any mistakes

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon as a UFA gets what in the open market?

MLE probably. There’s not much money floating around on the market.

I'm not even mad that's something special.

I wonder if Orlando would commit to him. That's his home area

I’m not even sure what point you’re making here

 

[coolhandluke]

Keon gets to play in garbage time

 

[Sluggah]

Haha. Toss him in the 4th. Sure, why not.

 

[coolhandluke]

oops.. that could be a flagrant

 

[HndsmCelt]

Keon Ellis proof of life

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I’m not even sure what point you’re making here

Developing younger players involves allowing them to play through some mistakes, especially when they're overall impact shows that they usually help the team

I don’t disagree with you. I said Keon should be getting at least 20 minutes a game a few posts up.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

He swiped and missed, ended up wiping down his belly. How is that a flagrant?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Reynaud needs to hit the weights hard

 

[SacTownKid]

That little hook floater by Maxime looked like Spencer Hawes' back in the day.

While Keon is a younger player in the context of the Kings roster, I’m not sure a guy on his age 26 year counts as a younger player.

 

[hrdboild]

Has there been an injury?

He was dealing with back stiffness in the Nuggets game and then missed the next game with a back issue, so it does seem likely he's not entirely over it. That does beg the question why he's playing tonight if he's not 100% when half our roster is made up of guards.

He's 25. Regardless of when he was born, he's a relatively inexperienced player, in the sense that he has less than two full seasons of playing time....and needs more time to fully develop his potential. Again, as long as his overall impact and total advanced stats show that he usually helps the team

 

[coolhandluke]

It's way past time to empty the bench

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Time to empty the bench

This IS the bench

 

[Sluggah]

Mercy rule

 

[Tetsujin]

(The Thunder have doubled their lead since Keon Ellis checked in)

 

[SacTownKid]

I'd really like to see Devin just take his right now. Why the heck not. Yeah, defense is usually supposed to get a player on the floor but that's all mouth moving and no words coming out stuff this season.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

(The Thunder have doubled their lead since Keon Ellis checked in)

Raynaud wouldn't have anything to do with it

 

[HndsmCelt]

I’m guessing they’ll discover Carter on the bench somewhere here soon

 

[SLAB]

Scott Perry’s #1 priority this offseason was Dennis Schroeder.

LOL

 

[coolhandluke]

This IS the bench

When I was typing that Zach and Russ were still out there.

LOL

Targeting Schröder instead of just grabbing up Russ in the first place and holding on to some cash for other maneuvers does appear to have been an error.
