How’s Keegan doing? — On3/HR edition
- Thread starter LaQuintaHawk
- Start date
Here's the exit interview with Keegan and a little shout-out for our beloved Hawks on the final question!
Keegan had arthroscopic surgery on his ankle, but should be ready for training camp in September.
Came across some highlights from a Sac vs Minny game last season. If Keeg comes back healthy and doesn't incur another injury, he could have a remarkable year, especially with the addition of good younger players. If the Kings can get off of the big veteran contracts, the future looks very bright.
An article I came across today.

Why There Should Still Be Hope for Kings' Keegan Murray
The Sacramento Kings' forward could be in for a big 2026-27 season.

Just came across this article, originally written by "Will Z" (Zimmerle) of "Will Z Stats and SI). Here's a trade proposal where Sabonis is moved to Portland for Jeremi Grant, a 2028 first round pick, and Kris Murray. Two Murrays are better than one? 
Just another trade scenario, but interesting nonetheless. Btw, in the top photo, the caption describes Kevin Huerter being guarded by Grant. I think they got it wrong.

Kings Get Wings and a Pick for Sabonis in Trade Proposal with Blazers
The Sacramento Kings take the next big step in their rebuild with this trade proposal with the Portland Trail Blazers.

It would be cool to have them on the kings together.
I think at this point it is established that Kris would be a backup for Keegan in the rotation.
Wonder if Kris would like that or not?
Clearly kings are rebuilding.
DeMar and Zach need to be moved
Probably Keaton wagler coming in draft( shades of halliburton,former king,who he is compared to by scouts)...nice distributor who could set the Murray's up for wing three pointers.

Trades are hard to pull off.
As a Keegan fan, I would not hate it.
I want him on a competitive team.
Kings almost never get on tv.
If the lakers re-sign Lebron and Reeves
( probable) hard to see them taking on keegans 28 million/yr salary.
If Luka , LeBron, reeves and Keegan all stayed healthy Keegan would be on TV every nite!
Well, the Kings welcomed their three new players today. Featured are the two videos. Thanks to Matt and Sactown Sports 1140 and ABC10 for putting these videos out there on YouTube for us to view. Keegan and Dylan Cardwell were there to support the new guys, fresh off of a workout. Matt mentions this in his podcast at 18:23. Also, Matt has updates on a move that Scott Perry has made, and news on DeMar and LaVine. Talk of Jonathan Kuminga and Domas as well.
Hoping Keegan can off the injury bug this year. Here's something from Will Z. Good stuff.

100% with Mara. He's been big time disappointing. They won't do it, but I'd park him in the G League for awhile. That might wake him up. The guy doing the color commentary in his last game was thoroughly disappointed in him, and he let it be known on air.
Acuff needs time to adjust. I think he'll be fine over the longer term. My guy for Sac has been Emmanuel Sharp. Very impressed with his offense, and even more so defensively. He's a:

If you go all the way back to the start of Summer League, he had games in double figures and did fairly well rebounding when he wasn't standing around. In one game he only scored 2 points. Bennett, by far has been the best player between the two, in both shooting and effort. He reminds me of another Spanish player who was a bit lazy at times.
Interesting early assessment of these rookies.
1 . Swain has looked rough for bulls so far.
Bulls like his physical defensive presence on perimeter( which they lacked) so took him over more offensive guards like lebaron and Coleman.
Bulls guards o this summer team flat out suck but I fear the final roster will not be much better.
2. I do think that Michigan was so loaded, it elevated their draftees. One the three might not be worthy..right now it's mara.
3.. Houston has looked like the best team to miss the elite 8 due to illini.
Fleming, sharp,cenar and uzine have all looked good.
Glad hawks faced illini instead
Also very pleased with bulls pick of Wilson...only real concerns were his outside shooting and he is 12 of 25 from arc.... I'll take that.

Mara was elevated by the Thunder because of their recent loss to San Antonio, I would assume. They simply think they need more height in stopping/slowing Wembanyama.
