Never have heard Fox talk about a teammate like he talks about Keegan.

Fox is just plain smart. From day 1. This is a future NBA GM right there.

Swipa's intelligence was among the reasons I was hoping so damned hard that the KINGS drafted him. That, and his love for the game and hatred of losing, as evidenced by his post game emotional release after the loss to UNC in the tournament.
De'Aaron's size, speed and talent are evident to everyone. It's what's under the hood that takes him to a special level.

I'm glad Monte did the right thing and didn't trade Keegan. He's Fox's lil bro at this point.

I think Monte views Keegan as an "untouchable" (as he should), along with Fox and Sabonis.
No way he trades the 6'9" Klay Thompson after his rookie season. Keegan is going to be a King for a very long, long time.

Was there a rumor about the FO trading Keegan Murray?! Very hard to imagine that.
No, I think it was just the idea that beyond Fox and Domas, Keegan was the only major trade chip the Kings had to get a "3rd star". Murray may just end up filling that role himself.

Yeah, and if the Kings need more Monte hasn't loaded himself up with horrible contracts so making that next big move is still there potentially.

There was some talk that the Wiz were trying to snag Murray in a deal for Beal which was total horse you know what. Beal had no value, everyone knew it, but you can't blame the Wiz for trying to boost some value I guess lol. In looking at the list of finalists I'd say it pretty safe to assume the Kings had the best package on the table from a Wizards perspective without Keegan involved.

Not necessarily a rumor, it was said the Kings were interested in Anunoby and that Masai's asking price started with Murray.

Murray has been working with De'Aaron Fox this summer, especially on his ball-handling skills.

Kings coach Mike Brown said Keegan Murray is getting to the point where he’d like to keep him with De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, at least 2 of the 3 players on the floor at all times.
