2023 NBA Draft Omega Thread

[The_Jamal]

Got a lot of kb02 energy up in here tonight

I'm the one who sent him to the shadow realm and I would be in full agreement with him about this move.

Get your hopes up again it's not dangerous at all!

 

[KainLear]

That’s what happens when you end up trading your 1st round pick away for…. Cap space. With a likely target being… Kyle freaking Kuzma.

Just wait till it is all settled in before you call it. Those are some sizeable leaps you just made. None of us knows what Monte knows, and the guy had us winning the conference and challenging the former champion just last season.

 

[Tetsujin]

Nuggets with an interesting draft. It's like they acquired all these picks at the last minute and then got set on picking guys that got picked before they went on the clock and just sorta decided to choose whoever anyways.

 

[New Era]

Monte made a low risk move…. That is his MO

It is? What about the Hali for Domas trade? That took major balls and was extremely high risk.

If we just want space why not stretch Holmes? We can’t legally talk to any free agents so how do we know someone will sign here?

He has a player option for 24-25. Stretching would have been tough, not given similar benefits, and kept us on the hook longer.

Not saying that this move was reasonable. If we are able to sign an impact FA, this move makes sense. Else, we just lost two front court players, and provided added leverage to Barnes, Len, and other potential FAs. Hopefully Monte has some targets in mind and some concrete plans to land them.

Dang if we get TJD and get a good free agent I’ll be happy

Middle Manager Monte strikes again!

Yep TBD. But if this trade was to give Domas an extension it’s more Kangz being cheap and Monte taking no risk.

 

[Tetsujin]

It is? What about the Hali for Domas trade? That took major balls and was extremely high risk.

I'd say trading a FRP to free up salary as a small market team a week before free agency isn't exactly a low risk move either.

The amount of talent still on the board makes me question the ability of most NBA GM's to judge talent.

The most T-Wolve player left on the board. Big forward who might ultimately end up a center. Can't shoot a lick. Perfect T-wolf

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I had Leonard Miller and TJD #3 and #4 on my "could be there at #24" board. Would love either at #38. So much for Leonard.

 

[sactowndog]

It is? What about the Hali for Domas trade? That took major balls and was extremely high risk.

He had no choice and many felt he could have done better for Hali. We shall see

 

[luckytkp]

Yes we don’t know who he thinks he can get but if he swings and misses with all those wings on the board it is a big Kangz move.

Yes, but what if the pick doesnt work out? We will then stuck with holmes and a bad FRP. It's risk either way.

Draymond Green incoming to the Kings

 

[The_Jamal]

Well... Anyway.

TJD
Max Lewis
Colby Jones
Rupert
Julian Phillips
Walsh

Makes it a little frustrating we could have had two of these guys.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yes, but what if the pick doesnt work out? We will then stuck with holmes and a bad FRP. It's risk either way.

O-Max gonna be a superstar! Why? Because the Kings didn't keep him! Does that make sense? Not really. Will that stop people from thinking it? No.

 

[KainLear]

Draymond Green incoming to the Kings

99% Dray is staying at the Bay... especially now Poole's gone.

 

[ESP47]

Sidy
TJD
GG
Lewis
Rupert

We're in play for one of them.

 

[SLAB]

Draymond Green incoming to the Kings

Let the world burn!

I think I like it more than Jerami or Kuzma tbh.

why draft at all!

You would rather have 2 of these guys instead of 1 and an NBA-proven talent?

 

[Tetsujin]

KINGS TRADE FOR COLBY JONES

 

[The_Jamal]

OH LETS ****ING GO COLBY

 

[sactowndog]

Kings Celtics trade incoming

 

[NiNetNiNe]

I don’t get why people are mad. Sure, it’s disappointing we don’t get a draft pick. But we were third in the west last season. Why take a draft pick that will probably take three years before he’s ready when you can go and get two good players in free agency.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Did we trade 38?

 

[Tetsujin]

OH LETS ****ING GO COLBY

People were projecting him to us at 24. MIDDLE MANAGER MONTE STRIKES AGAIN
