The Sacramento Kings have signed veteran center Mason Plumlee.
The 36-year-old Plumlee last played in the NBA last season for the Charlotte Hornets and San Antonio Spurs. He played in a total of 20 games, averaging 1.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1 assist in 8.6 minutes per game. He last played extended minutes in 2024-25 with the Phoenix Suns. The 7’0” center averaged 4.5 points (61% FG), 6.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, .6 blocks in 17.6 minutes per game.
His career average (dating back to 2013-14) is 7.9 points and 6.6 rebounds.
The move comes after Precious Achiuwa suffered a left lower leg contusion in the game against the Orlando Magic Tuesday. Maxime Raynaud is still out, and Domantas Sabonis is coming off a 0 points, 2 rebound performance.
The big man’s nickname is Plumdog Millionaire, so there is that.
Welcome Mason!
You will fit right in among the many brick-layers here.
Remember that part of the last game where we had no point guard on the floor, and it went terribly for us?
Vivek saw it too, and he said:
”PERRY, WE NEED ANOTHER BIG MAN.”
Yay…yet another retro NBA big that cant much pass, block, or take an outside shot!
DeMarcus Cousins is still only 36 too…maybe we could give him a spin?
Doug Christie finally has the size he needs! The missing piece! Why sign a young prospect when you can pick up a seasoned vet who’s old and who hasn’t been able to get on the floor much for two years. It’s a no brainer.
Oh, my goodness! what’s with this?
Plumblee + Cardwell = 2 ppg.
This is worse than last year and the team is worse.
The league standings look like wealth in the US- attenuated as hell. A few at the top and more poverty stricken at the bottom. The no tanking incentive has contributed to this: the issue is not with trying to lose but with most teams trying to win. So the good and average teams beat the bad teams, and the bad teams get exposed (Kings, Buls, Jazz and Bucks). Last year, teams would want to tank against them. No longer.
The final standings will look like this – a few teams with extraordinary records and more with very poor records including the bottom 3 real losers.
The Kings need to avoid relegation- 4 teams with 1 win and 1 more with 2 wins. Have to rise above Bucks, Bulls and Jazz.
I thought the Nets were the worst but they have won 3!
Kings lost to other cellar teams- that’s fatal.
I despair.
And Plumblee- what the heck is with that?
DS is hobbling- that contributed to his 0 pint night, Max is hurt and if Precious is out. Yikes.
This team is in serious trouble- relegation seems almost a lock.
Vivek: Perry, get me Plumlee. I want a lineup of Acuff, Domas, Plumlee, Cardwell, and Max. That tall lineup can beat Wemby! HA! Spurs are roasted! BOOM!
