DRAFT PICK discussion thread

[Capt. Factorial]

This is just malpractice. Why on earth didnt we do that trade with Mavs? Doncic was the obvious picks, rest of the teams wanted Doncic so why didnt we take that additional future 1st rounder? This just makes me sick

Bagley wouldn't fall to #5 if we tried. So we would be stuck with not our favorite guy.

Maybe because the FO wanted Bagley all along and doesn't think he'll fall to #5

But seriously though, we have way too many bigs.

Willie/Kosta/
Z-Bo/Bagley/Giles/Skal/Cooley/Hayes


sighhhhhhhhhhh

Looks like they're gonna be doing some housekeeping.

 

[roasthawg]

Wall to Amare ain’t winning any titles either. Even in their prime

Meh. Prove me wrong, Kings. PLEASE! Bagley better be as skilled as advertised, cuz all i see is a smarter version of WCS.

Who cares? If you don't have LeBron or Jordan or multiple hall of famers you're probably not winning titles anyways. Let's have a good team that's always in the playoffs and is fun to watch! Figure out how to get over the title hump from there.

Luka to dallas plus 2019 1st
Psssht

 

[sactowndog]

Haha Dallas isn’t worried about taking the ball out of Smiths hands and even gave up a 1st for him

Smith can play off the ball.....great fit for Dallas but less so for us.

 

[MizzouKing]

I'm so relieved. All props to Luka, whose abilities are unquestioned, but we've already had one young very emotional locker room phenom... I'm ready for the level headed maturity that the other highest skilled player brings to the organization. I would've celebrated Luka, but I secretly feared the potential drama and the detrimental effect it could have.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Hard to believe Kings could miss on so many not just great players but superstar transcendent ones, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard, and now this. I can't say for absolute sure than Doncic will be better than Bagley but I think odds are will be and more likely a transcendent one.

 

[Joshoua]

Because Smith is a SHOOTING GUARD

I hope you know Smith is better at running an offense than Fox and better in pick and roll play

 

[Kingster]

Pollard is a wise, wise man.

 

[sactowndog]

Memphis could have taken Bagley.

Memphis would have taken Bagley.

If this FO thought Bagley>Doncic AND Bagley>#5+future 1st, I dont even know what to say

 

[VF21]

We just added one of the top two players in the draft by most analysis and some of you act like we drafted Joe Kleine. Amazing.

No he sure as hell isnt. And you will find that out next year now that Fox has the keys

 

[NewArena]

What does it say to all the Doncic lovers that Atlanta doesn't want him either?

Just something to think about I suppose....

And Atlanta is some great model franchise?

 

[206Fan]

why are people still leaking picks ahead of the draft even though they were told not to?

 

[Kingster]

Looking forward to summer league. Bagley, Giles, Fox (maybe). That is going to be entertaining. This team looks like it finally is going to take a BIG step up in athleticism.

Doncic would have been a nice fun start

Vlade+Vivek punched us in the face 3 minutes ago, let people get their reactions and if you want to discuss Bagley, his thread is full of well argumented analysis for you to argue for or against

 

[roasthawg]

Disagree but it's whatever now anyways

 

[Cojc]

At the top of the draft at least for me you pick the best player available and not to fill a position.
Luka is such a great prospect Atlanta wants to trade him back for the 5th pick.

Hmmm *sigh

Ok, keep going. I’m warming up to this already

Hopefully he gets stronger tho. Looks too thin and that jumper looks far too slow

Man.....

How the <blank> do you know at this point who will be a transcendent talent. Why don’t you support the kid and wait and see who becomes transcendent or not. The time to roast Vlade is in 2-3 years not now.

LOL.

They think Young and a future first are worth more. That says something to me.

 

[206Fan]

Trae Young is the 2nd best prospect in this draft imo. I'm really excited to see him in the NBA next year

 

[Sactown ExPat]

Fox better be an 8-time All-Star after costing us Doncic. I want the full story on what went on behind the scenes for us to draft Bagley.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Trae Young looking like Angus Young of AC-DC on stage with Adam Silver and incredibly at least 3 inches shorter than the commish!
