No mention of the #8...

Would you guys do that trade?

 

[Spike]

Seriously. Next person to tweet the info gets blocked.

Those are their top 2 choices?

 

[chasen4r1]

Those are their top 2 choices?

Say it aint so....

 

[Spike]

Those are their top 2 choices?

My thought as well.

 

[Tetsujin]

Those are their top 2 choices?

Hard to tell. Other media dudes have said Payton and Smart were our top two.

 

[gunks]

Gordon at 4....Daaaayumm....Kind of reminds me of when we were arguing on the board over picking Westbrook, and then the Sonics shocked the world by picking him way higher than he was projected at 4.


This also improves our chances of getting Smart.

 

[Bricklayer]

wow

 

[dude12]

Nooooo one had Gordon at 4.

Stauskus. WHAT THE *************

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Feels like the Kings want to replace McLemore with Stauskas as SG of the future. I don't blame them.

I like Stauskas, I just don't want both.

 

[VF21]

upinsmoke - Please quit posting Woj's tweets. The vast majority of people in this thread are watching the broadcast and enjoying it. You jumping the gun is like spoiling a time-delay event., Thanks for understanding.

 

[theclash4u5]

Anyone watching the Kings draft stream? They didn't seem to like that Gordon pick

 

[Mass]

I hope we are targeting Stauskas because we are sending McLemore to Boston for Rondo. I'd be happy with that.

 

[Dime Dropper]

BTW, if Stauskas is top of our list, I'll be shocked. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

hopin we get marcus smart...

 

[Entity]

Prob trade Ben for 6 now then pick for Boston at 6 trade back to Boston later for rondo. Lol

 

[theclash4u5]

The Jazz has to take Exum. If he can play SG or a little like Westbrook, holy crap what a nice backcourt

 

[gunks]

Apparently Stauskas can do everything BMac can + dribble and pass (although he isnt nearly as athletic, not that McLemore can finish his dunks).... Its gutsy of the FO to try to sell high on someone they were pumped about last season...Couldnt see Petrie every admitting he made a mistake...But then the guy was burnt out and surrounded by yes men.

 

[hrdboild]

Pretty nervous right now. 3 picks left and only 2 guys left on the board I really want. So like every draft basically.

 

[est.1999]

Am I the only one who knew right away there was a satellite delay? Jesus, way to jump the gun, guys.

 

[dude12]

If the one tweet is correct....then Stauskus is there for us.....then I hope we trade Ben for the pick at 6 and get Smart.....pleeeeeeaaaassssse

 

[Big Cuz 15]

vonleh looks like he might be the one slipping. kings don't like him??

 

[gunks]

Cant wait to see who Boston drafts for us

 

[HereWeBoogie]

so Vonleh, Randle or Smart will be there

 

[Rain man]

Sacramento is keeping its pick at No. 8, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

How could a "league source" know this? Wouldn't it have to be a "team source."

 

[VF21]

ATTENTION: PLEASE do not post Woj's tweets in this thread.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i'm going to be pissed if we pass up some of these other guys for Stauskus
