Official 2009 Nba Draft Thread

[Kings Faithful]

Please let us have Rubio, please... i beg. I plead you. Let us.

 

[Kings Faithful]

It's possible that the Rodriguez trade will also work in our favor. OKC/MEM can't hope to take Rubio and "blackmail" us now. Could encourage them to take the player they actually want and let Rubio slip.

I can only hope...

 

[kennadog]

Geez, I'm nervous, too, and I don't have to do the picking.

 

[NewArena]

Guys...do not HOPE for Rubio. Everytime we as kings fans hope and wish you know what happens, the worst case scenario...

 

[NewArena]

Geez, I'm nervous, too, and I don't have to do the picking.

lol can you imagine being in petries position? Boy i would never want to be in those shoes.

 

[Kings Faithful]

I wonder how things are lookin at the draft party at arco.

 

[KingKong]

Yay, it's being televised here in Bombay. Although it is 5 in the morning.

 

[Bricklayer]

lol can you imagine being in petries position? Boy i would never want to be in those shoes.

Far preferable -- there you have some control. Here, you can only watch. And groan.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Its totally true too. THEE WORST case scenario.

 

[kingsnation]

Oh dear... Stern.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Wow, that was really insulting to Sasha Vujacic... I'm not gonna lie.

 

[exGrizzly]

We are bringing Rodriguez to help Rubio feel more comfortable in Sacramento

Don't they play the same position? Rubio, Rodriguez and uh Beno. This does not bode well for us pro-Rubio boosters.

No, it doesn't bode well for those who are pro-Beno boosters .

 

[RyanWiggum]

No, it doesn't bode well for those who are pro-Beno boosters .

there aren't many

 

[AleksandarN]

Don't they play the same position? Rubio, Rodriguez and uh Beno. This does not bode well for us pro-Rubio boosters.

Why? maybe we feel that having another spanish player is an indicator we are taking Rubio if aviable.

 

[killerpinoy87]

now im nervous about the 2nd pick

 

[kingsnation]

And now it gets exciting...

 

[Capt. Factorial]

With Blake Griffin officially in L.A., a sudden thought comes to me:

KT's expiring and Beno for Camby? (What a pipe dream!)

 

[Rockmeister]

I like how Blake Griffith already had a LA Clipper hat before Stern announced it.

 

[DoDiGaG0]

Thabeet at #2 and Rubio is ALMOST ours...

Draft Express

7:40

Rubio's camp doesn't think they are going 3, and Harden's camp has no idea either. Sam Presti does an amazing job at keeping everyone in the dark. This draft seemed a lot more clear 40 minutes ago when Rubio was going 3rd. Everyone in the Green Room is scrambling to figure out what is going on.

 

[Kings Faithful]

No... we want Harden or someone else at 2... not Thabeet. If thabeet is available at 3 the Thunder can't resist his lure.

 

[Henkel]

I think were going with Evans even if Rubio is available.

 

[PJAZZ19]

What about Kyle Spain?

 

[Fresno King]

Sweaty palms...

 

[kingsnation]

one step closer.

 

[killerpinoy87]

here comes #3 im nervous

 

[asakkings]

Thabeet is gone!!!

 

[DoDiGaG0]

were 5 minutes away from knowing....

 

[king07]

Rubio or Evans is ours!!
