2016 NBA Draft Discussion

[kingsboi]

for the next two hours or so prior to the draft, there are going to be a abundance of rumors swirling around and lots of "what if" scenarios will be presented to us....I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing only to end up being disappointed with no movement and staying at 8.

If I was betting, I think there is a great chance that for all the twitter bluster, the Kings take BPA at #8 and that's it. Have seen this one before. Guessing Brown is the #8 guy.

Would be pleasantly surprised if there is any razzle-dazzle at all.

Yep seen it for five years now. Interestingly enough all five draft picks have floundered

Kings trading Marco for #22. Can't believe his price is that low.

You serious? Why did they give up on Marco so quickly.

Has to be part of a package deal right?

Don't toy with me. Is this speculation or confirmed? Cause that would be amazing.

Charlotte-Sacramento deal can't go through until after July 1, but Hornets will be selecting player at No. 22 for Kings, sources said.

Beli dumped on locker-room in his Italian interview. Ciao!

Well this draft is off to a great start. #22 in a crapty draft for the only guy who can hit a 3 ball on the team

Great trade (it will happen officialy in July 1st, but it's a done deal based on reporting).

The draft starts at 4pm PST right? That's only 5 minutes from now.

Can you blame him? I wouldn't want to play for that snake Karl either.

WOJ tweeted it. As good as gold.

You obviously blacked out all of last season! (not that I blame you...)

No, he was blaming his team-mates, who "were not playing with winning attitude" or some such.

First pick is at 4:30 I believe. Goodbye Marco....... This is starting to be fun...

 

[dude12]

Demetrius Jackson at 22?

Marco who?

 

[hrdboild]

Guys we just cleared 6.3 million off the cap for a proven shooter who shoot all of 38% from the field this season and added another first round pick in the 20s! This is already the best trade in the last 10 years!

 

[peacelate]

The thing is Belinelli has 8 season (I think) of proven shooting ability.

More like a decade

stop...you don't even know how the player will turn out. Every single season people question the draft and how deep it is, saying it's a bad draft only to find out it's not as bad as they make it out to be. Give it three seasons and revisit.

Oh crap Baja....we might get your guy Hield. Lots of local rumors about the Kings wanting Hield. Heavy rumors today about Kings trying to get in the top 5. I think they're going after Hield.

And who knew Marco had a positive net value? wtf?

Can the Kings wait three seasons? That's the thing.

No, I think I will continue to sit here and play armchair GM

 

[Amit149]

Looking at draft boards real quick Tauren Prince, Demetrius Jackson, Korkmaz are interesting and should be there (and we can always hope for some guy to fall like Baldwin for example).
And of course an upgrade to an higher pick is also in play since we are rumored to try getting to 6th.
Thoughts?

Wow. And I thought maybe if we were lucky we could trade him to Boston for the 45th pick

 

[notoriousBEN3]

Not super stoked about the Belli trade so far...I hope we're not packaging this pick along with #8 to move up. If that's the case, i am not down. We need vets, not rookies

Demetrius Jackson would be my preference if possible......really like him

Damage in both knees to cartilage may scare them away

 

[Amit149]

If I have to guess I think Vlade is making a play for getting a higher pick and getting Dunn.
