well if we do give them JT at least they know what he is capable of.. us taking the 4th pick were like gambling again on a big man. but the fair trade would be jennings and 31st pick with expiring for 2 and jaric. that 31st pick 2nd rounder is always wasted..
i mean.. we all waived them or something guys like...
1. patrick ewing jr.
2. sean singletary
3. ricky minard.
whats with all the hate on 2nd rounders by geoff

I guess thats the sticky point.
They would want Thompson and pick 4 and I am pretty sure we wouldn't want to trade Thompson.
The next best we could offer is 4 and 23 and I am not sure that gets it done and come to think of it, I am not sure we would even want to trade pick 23 since we have a low number of singned players for next season.

#4 plus $3mil plus another 1st rounder either this yr or future is too much.
$3mil is a lot of money in this economy for the Kings to give up already considering the Maloofs are already losing money.
Its the 4th pick + just $3mil. Or 4th pick plus another 1st rounder. Thats a lot already considering its just 2 spots lowering and all of a sudden they get the 23rd pick also. If they are really going with Conley, then it makes perfect sense they want to sell the pick to get Jordan Hill.
The reason the Grizz goes with Jordan Hill over Thabeet is Marc Gasol is turning into a decent player already. But he can't play power forward with Thabeet at center. Can you imagine Marc trying to defend fast PFs like Amare, Blake, KG etc? He is too slow to play the 4 and he has the size to play the 5 already. So Hill makes sense if they want to add another big.

Why don't we just let the chips fall where they may. With all this talk about Rubio not wanting to go to the two teams before us why not just play the patient role and see if he falls. If he doesn't it isn't the end of the world we still get a great player at 4 and have all of our picks JT Hawes and everybody. We need quantity right now. I am itching for Rubio just like I was for Griffin, but we can not weight the whole draft on an 18 year old player no matter what potential suggests. This isn't Lebron we are talking about here. No disrespect to Rubio but we can't trade away every necessary piece to get him when we could just wait and maybe do a swap of players where they take Rubio we take hill swap straight across or add in some fillers or the 31 something like that to keep our core in tact. If your'e trading Nocioni or Garcia fine, but to me I like what we have in JT and Hawes and you add Rubio to the Mix with K-Mart the prospects of Dante and the 23 things are looking up. You do the trade if it doesn't hurt all of our picks we need the picks to build.
No way we give #4 + $3 mil + JT or hawes.
Its either #4 + $3 mil or #4 + 1st rounder.
$3 mil is already a lot of money to give up to move up 2 spots. And even though I want to have rubio on the team, there may be a chance the Maloofs aren't willing to pay that kind of money.
If they don't pay, they might tell GP to pick the best PG he can at #4 and just use the #23 and #31 to rebuilt.
I might get flamed for this but in my opinion we might even be a decent team... like eastern conference 8th seed... when Beno was playing well we were a good team. We still couldn't get it done in the clutch 90% of the time but thats a different issue. There weren't very many games where Beno played well and we were blown out... If we get a closer (or Kevin becomes one) and Rubio can play well nearly every night our team will look alot better.
yeah but it doesnt say when right.. you can pay it back little by little...
the thing here is you can lose money now but think of the sales in spain his fanbase at euro.. jerseys media coverage etc. isnt 3million dollars cheap for the maloofs? i mean we threw 30 mil on beno freakin udrih hell maloofs can rig a few slot machines in vegas and they get back that 3 mil in a day.

There were so many games where we competed against teams had the game in hand and blew it. I was at the Cavs game where we gave them all they could handle and that's the potential of this team to compete and show they can go against the best. Unfortunately they aren't consistent which is why were 17-65 get a good coach and some other pieces I can honestly see us fighting for the 8th spot. As I've said before on other posts. Dallas is falling off Jkidd might not come back. San Antonio is getting old. Utah's core might get shaken up if Boozer leaves. New Orleans has taken a nose dive. If you look at us we could be next years Trail Blazers with the right coach we aren't as bad as so many people think we are.
