I’d like Domas to stick around, and I suspect Zach will still be here too, but I really think we need to treat Keegan like the centerpiece on offense next season. Will he be the next Kawhi/Paul George? Probably not, but I’d like to see him get the chance and see what happens.
Tonight's Kings-Suns matchup of the game. Didn't realize at first that this is KD's first matchup against the Kings this season.

The Boston/OKC one is home and home. Still rough, but at least no travel.
That’s my beautiful baby boy. Give him all the money.
He was off the charts last night!
Must be like looking in a mirror for Kawhi.
Twitter is down and my footprint over here is teeny tiny, but I agree with this post!
I found that funny moment between Keegan and Fox last night. Watch toward the end and you see Keegan grin and say something to Fox. "Get your rook, Fox" Ah ha ha ha! 🤣
Rook = short for rookie.
I'm giggling at morning radio flannel clan. 😂
Welcome!
Something I meant to say last night is I didn't realize what a menace on defense Anthony Edwards had become. Dude was really even guarding Keegan for stretches in the second half last night.
Felt like that was a big part of why Keegz couldn't get going again.
Kings FO: Hey, Rich (Paul), we got a pretty interesting offer from team X to trade Fox. Just wondered your thoughts on the idea.
Rich: Well, if you're going to trade him you'd be better off doing it sooner than later.
FO to Amick: Rich suggested we would be wise to trade Fox now.
🤔🙄
Might clear things up for some
Something that was potentially overlooked last night:
The Kings shot 30 of 32 (93.7%) from the free throw line (Fox 10/10, Sabonis 8/8)
Had they shot at their season average from last year, they would have been 24 for 32. A six point difference
Their margin of victory was 6 points last night
So the Kings went from
“The sky is falling, the West is too good, too many teams ahead in the standings, fire or trade everyone”
To
“Winning is easy, Keon Ellis is a phenom, the bottom of the West is crumbling, time to push in the chips.”
I'm sorry - Keegan?!?!
Sacramento Kings Keegan Murray faces an old High school rival tonight in AJ Green of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Murray and his Cedar Rapids HS squad ended up facing Green and Cedar Falls in the Iowa state playoffs and knocking them out.
I’m on the mic 🎤 with Kayte Christensen tonight for the call.
The Kings and Celtics played Freaky Friday last night and switched 3p identities! They pretty much each had the other's 3p profile. 🤣
I'm with ya!
Toumani was playing with 5 fouls but it sort of looked like everyone else was waiting for him to take the foul. 🤷🏼♀️
On the positive side, the last time there was moderate discussion about trading Keegan Murray, he dropped 47 points on Utah and shut everyone up right quick.
JUST IN: Iowa will retire Caitlin Clark's jersey on February 2nd when JuJu Watkins and USC come to town.
I like the idea of giving fans more time to plan, which could make it more like a CFB bowl game or something. Another option would be to decide the location ahead of time like the All-Star game and move it around each year. You'd at least have a built-in basketball fan base.
Kings ran this Elevator set to open the game, like @markjonesespn.bsky.social mentions he calls it out in real time.
Yet another wrinkle out of one of their base sets - Monk clears through and comes off the elevator screens after the Zoom action for DeMar. Awesome creativity.
He is so versatile!
I wondered if someone needed to go bump him!
I said this on the other site, but coming into the season I agreed that it could take up to 20 games (or more) to integrate DeMar. He's now played 19 games and things are looking a lot better after the last 3 games. Hopefully this is the beginning of a real, lasting turnaround.
I was saying some not nice things to my TV and I don't usually do that.
Nevermind, I guess
