[Game] Kings vs. Magic [Vegas Summer League] 7/9/2022 1pm Pacific, 4pm Eastern (ESPN)

[Woot!]

He’s never going to be a #1 option, but you don’t have to look too hard to see a great #3 option on a good team. If he adds some face up game, he could be #2.

C'mon, fellas - he's a ROOKIE who hasn't even played his first NBA game yet. A rookie who showed remarkable growth as a player just last year - which is to say that to think a 22-year-old as diligent as Murray is too old to significantly improve his game is nonsense.

In a league chockfull of guys like George, Gobert, Middleton, Gasol, Booker, Murray, Leonard, etc. etc. who were't even drafted in the first-5 and are multiple-time all-stars (or likely to be), feels a little early to make pronouncements about "never."

 

[OptimusRhyme]

ferraris tires just exploded on that cross

 

[SLAB]

Ferrari absolutely bad.

Could have stopped there.

 

[joemama]

Murray and Ferarri is the same as Mitchell and Gobert.

 

[Tetsujin]

RJ missed the hoop with the dunk gets bailed out by a foul.

 

[206Fan]

I love this competition between Murray and Banchero.

Lonzo could never

 

[SacTownKid]

There you go, run some comort sets to get Murray going here.

 

[Tetsujin]

RJ tried to blind Keegan

 

[Sluggah]

The hell is that?

 

[SLAB]

Ferrari with two nice passes this game, doubling his total from the entire Cali Classic.

 

[Tetsujin]

RJ kinda bad lol

 

[Woot!]

For people wanting a vicious visual attitude out of this team next season, prepare for disappointment, haha. I don't know if you can put together a more even keeled appearance that might look half asleep at times than a team with Fox, Barnes, Davion, and Murray on it, lol.

If the example of Davion Mitchell tells us anything, it's that "even-keeled" and "uncompetitive" aren't the same thing.

 

[206Fan]

This is a dirty play. He had absolutely no chance at making a play on the ball

 

[SLAB]

“When they’re in the playoffs”

Mark Jones, you optimistic man.

 

[SLAB]

THREE GOOD PASSES!

 

[Tetsujin]

Neemias needs to start shooting with an arc like Davion.

 

[SLAB]

Gooooood D.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

murray swarms banchero on d then tips that bad pass to rhodan. beautiful.

 

[Tetsujin]

How does a guy as big as Paulo not have a single rebound?

 

[Tetsujin]

That Murray flare set gonna look better when it’s Domas throwing that pass instead of Queta.

 

[HndsmCelt]

How does a guy as big as Paulo not have a single rebound?

You should know the answer to this you've seen it before. He's breaking out early after every shot.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

How does a guy as big as Paulo not have a single rebound?

I thought they said he had 2 at halftime? Was that assists?

 

[SacTownKid]

Banchero getting star calls already?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That Murray flare set gonna look better when it’s Domas throwing that pass instead of Queta.

Dunks >>> TOs

 

[joemama]

Banchero getting star calls already?

Rite!

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Brown out here with major drunk uncle energy lol

 

[Woot!]

It’s going to be an annoying look when we’re not good again. Not through lack of trying to get better, I actually like most the moves, but we still stink comparitive to the rest of the NBA. :/

The 2022-23 coaching staff, 3 of 5 starters, and roughly half this season's rotation weren't with the Kings at the last All-Star game. Monte has strongly suggested that he's not done dealing and we're 2.5 months away from the first preseason games.

"Resident Pessimist" indeed.

 

[NiNetNiNe]

I thought they said he had 2 at halftime? Was that assists?

It was assists.

 

[Elektrik]

Because even though he didn't succeed as GM, some Kings fans don't hate Vlade, recognizing that he seems to be a very decent person and was a major part of our glory years.

Vlade will ALWAYS be the greatest player this team ever had. A classy and truly nice man.

 

[SLAB]

Brown just said what I was typing.

Keegan coming off like a guy who’s going to have his numbers at the end, despite not really realizing he’s done any of it.
