The Official SPOILERS 2022 NBA Draft Thread

[KingsCitizen]

Looks like the unhappiness with Murray was due to rumors that a team likr Detroit wanted Ivey and we could have like another end of the bench player plus Murray at 5. Kings already have many end of the bench players. LOL

This is a 5 player draft and we got 1. I’m alright. Now time to trade those TEs

I'm sick. Pop's gonna turn this kid into a star.

Oh this is the Polish Oubre guy.

Nah, Bags was always an elite athlete who absolutely destroyed dudes in college based on sheer athleticism alone. Kid was pure upside.

Not totally, he was 20 and 10 production. Production that did actually transfer per minute. He sat in favor of Dedmon/Holmes/etc though. The Kings now have another 20 and 10 production PF with a better jumper. Hopefully this works better this time.

Keegan also has better feel for the game than Bagley did too. Guy moves well off the ball unlike Marvin, who'd largely just stand in the corner when the ball wasn't in his hand.

PG - Fox / Mitchell
SG - DiVincenzo / Davis
SF - Barnes / Holiday / Harkless
PF - Murray / Lyles / Metu
C - Sabonis / Holmes / Len

That’s a very well balanced, complementary roster on paper. We’ll see if “on paper” translates to “on court” soon enough.

Not to mention, we should have max cap space next off-season with Fox, Mitchell, DiVincenzo, Murray, Sabonis, Holmes, #37, and 2023 SAC 1st all under contract.

In fairness going with Ivey would have been the middle manager no one got fired for buying IBM type of move.

This is exactly why I thought monte would
have gone with Ivey. If Ivey blows up in Detroit monte will lose his job.

 

[SacTownKid]

In breaking news, kb02 is upset with the move and hates Monte...

And up to this point, he's kind of been right? I believe Fox/Sabonis is enough to get into a competitive area, but they made win now moves and while injuries factored in, they didn't accomplish the stated goal last season. This season is Montes real test, and potentially his final one as the head of an NBA team.

Incorrect. I'm upset by a lack of a move. Gifted the #4 and did the most middle manager thing ever.

From the begining it was clear that he has zero vision, cant create for others, cant play center defensively and will struggle to play 4 offensively if the 5 is clogging the paint. Whoever saw elite upside for him, god bless but that was a huge misevaluation and fireable decision

I don't think a Collins move happens but I wonder if we do move Barnes.

Good news. Everyone responsible for the decision was fired lol

Nah, if Ivey blows up and the Kings are still in the lottery he's gone for sure. He'll be sucking Morey's office fumes from here to eternity at that point. If the Kings get into the play in people will be OK with it.

 

[whozit]

Sure. We shall see…. I have no problem going against the grain. But you set your rep one way or another in a big way.

In what way? He is a fan that is quick in posting the tweets. He makes sarcastic hot takes coupled with ones stating his opinions, which are which, depends on one's taste.

Except I never saw any basketball skills, it was all athleticism.

And that's the NBA draft in a nutshell lol

I think if ivey is the better player by far. It won't matter if we in play in or not. Unless we win championship, if Ivey becomes the better player there will always be that what if

 

[Tetsujin]

The Hornets Hayward trade remains on the table.

 

[Rob-The-Great]

And again it's less about Murray and about using our leverage to get more. If we couldn't fine. But all signs point towards we could have.

Well thats over. Welcome Murray hope he kills it and I eat my words

 

[sactowndog]

WHAT? LOL no he cant shoot like Dame.

Dame in this sense which is already going around the web……

[Kingster]

Kings need a franchise altering three. Barnes + Holmes for What Exactly?

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Can Murray start next to Barnes, or do we have to trade Barnes now?
