Keegan is shooting blanks, too.

He has become a terrible shooter.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

What a shocker. Lol

I think it's important they get a win here

 

[Sam0ah]

Anyone else tired of watching Deebos shoot first play style?

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

He has become a terrible shooter.

His contract becomes bad, if he doesn't regain it

The team probably is too. The guy doesn't pass unless in emergency

 

[Caccia]

The team probably is too. The guy doesn't pass unless in emergency.

True, but he did have a very nice steal moments ago, reading the passing lane perfectly, then dishing to Clifford for the three.

Yeah then He shoots it the next two or three times he has it. He kills team basketball.

 

[Caccia]

Not quite Showtime. Just dunk it, darn it.

 

[luckytkp]

i doubt he will, i think him getting bigger has changed his shooting.

 

[SufferingKingsFan]

Nique has 4 steals in 18 min

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

His demeanor is that of a guy who got married and got paid

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

build around Plowden and Hayes

 

[Caccia]

Let's put an end to this damnable streak.

 

[Turgenev]

Kings fans experience of winning can best be described as a blip yet Keegan (who contributed to that rare winning blip) doesn’t meet their lofty standards.

 

[Caccia]

Finally, a good play from Monk. Go Kings!

Going to have to do a lot more to justify his contract. You know that

 

[Caccia]

And another Kings player goes down. Let's hope Plowden is OK.

 

[Tetsujin]

Plowden looking solid. Immediately gets Zaza’ed by Rayan Rupert.

 

[Turgenev]

Going to have to do a lot more to justify his contract. You know that

I actually don't "know that". Thank you.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nique with 10/6/5/5 in 24 minutes.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Will there be a random purple light up in the middle of Sacramento? People are going to be taken aback

 

[Caccia]

Ten straight for the Kings.

Keegan contributed to that blip with a one-off season, and has been a terrible offensive player since. I know we ask him to play both sides of the ball, so it’s okay he’s not good at one of them because he’s so tired, but no. He doesn’t meet the lofty standards of the #4 pick who had a great rookie year.

 

[sactowndog]

Let's put an end to this damnable streak.

My guess is they do win this one bacause they can’t Lin them all and Indy and Brooklyn are more important Lins

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

I actually don't "know that". Thank you.

That's your story and you're sticking with it, huh. A guy paid to be a shooter, at ~20% from 3, making 25+ million a year going forward?

 

[Caccia]

Another arena where the fans are wearing light coats to stay warm.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I've got news for you: in 2026, twenty-four million is the going rate for a player with Murray's productivity. There's all of five players in the league in Murray's general salary range who are more productive than him. Most players in his range are as or less productive, and basically nobody making less money who's more productive**.


**excluding players still on their rookie contracts.

 

[Caccia]

Daeqwon back out there with two vital threes in a row. Westbrook was smart enough to feed him the second time, and Plowden returned the favor.

He's roughly 16% of the salary cap next season. Perfectly acceptable for a very good starting level wing, if that's what he caps out at.

Now if we were paying him Paolo/Jalen Williams/Chet Money? Sure, that's where you can throw a fit.

‘Very good’ for me wings, like Trey Murphy play both sides of the ball

He’s going to need to round out offensively, and hopefully soon

Very good means you are good at both sides of the ball
