Draft positioning thread

If we win, LA beat us because they dropped us a possible 3 spots in the lotto, while they get to rest their starters for another trip to the playoffs. You don't hear them say "Beat SAC." It's because we're nothing. They have bigger fish to fry. We don't. How pathetic is this?

And this is how we stay horrible, with only the memory of a rivalry that we pathetically clutch onto long after it has past. We're the equivalent of an overweight drunk who only manages to get through life by trying to hold on to his high school quarterback days.

Beat LA, indeed.

If we win tonight... We are officially the dumbest franchise behind the Bobcats

Anyone see that amazing 6pt forth quarter by NO???? accidental??? haha you damn well know it wasn't, because then they out right give us the go ahead.

so 6pt forth quarter is what better happen tonight other wise we are officially the dumbest team in the NBA (behind the Bobcats obviously)

there is a point were its not only ok to tank, but 100% all in time to tank and its tonight!
 
Sorry, I'm not going to ask our guys to lose on purpose.... It just sends a bad message, an we've already sent too many bad messages.

NOH just got a new owner. Everything is perfect down there. They can afford to tank a game, but this team, in this city, with these owners, and this arena situation, AGAINST THE LAKERS.

Tanking was never in the cards tonight.

we had the worst record a few years ago and ended up with the 4th pick.
ok so given your SUPER AWESOME POINT! btw thanks for that awesome point! if we end up third then history tells us we will be picking 5th or 6th... but if we end up 5th or 6th then we will be picking 10th???

once again jcwkings thanks for taking the time to COMPLETELY proving what i said to be TRUE and thanks again for using our factual history as evidence.

I am always astounded at the thought process that since we haven't won the lottery before and have dropped that we shouldn't want to be as good of position as possible and put us in position to drop at most to 5 or so instead of 8. With that in mind, I don't think there is really anything our team could do. Other teams are in completely different situations and we cannot directly tank.

dude you are SOOO RIGHT ! by lowering our odds at a sure fire player we can land a better draft pick next year when we finish at the bottom again!!!.... by playing guys like whiteside and T.Honeycutt and Outlaw (who would love to play more) in a totally meaning less game to end the year totally tells the rest of our team to be quitters forever and ever... hey thanks for your awesome thoughts...
 
I told you guys, our worst possible scenario is that we end up with the 9th overall pick (6th most ping-pong balls, but 3 teams jump ahead of us), but Capt. Factorial said we have like a 18 percent chance of ending up with the 6th most ping-pong balls... We'll, it's now a 50 percent chance, depending on a coin flip.

I know it's highly unlikely that 3 teams jump ahead of us, and we end up 9th, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see 1 team jump ahead of us, and we end up at No.7.

ok NO tonight... winning going into the 4th... 6pt 4th quarter they lose...

ON a side note I'm not in favor in anyway telling players to tank... but 100% in favor in emptying the damn bench so we have a shot at losing.... all while giving guys that have wanted to play more all season long the ability to play big mins for once...

but instead we approached this like it was game 1 in the championship game and thus we can say good bye to Thomas Robinson

I don't even understand your first sentence, but I should have known that when I saw who started this thread.

Whiteside is done for the year, by the way, and I'm fairly confident we defeat this garbage Lakers squad with whatever players we put out there tonight.

I'm just not going to waste my time going back and forth with you, but you're wrong. You play to win the game.

Give me a break. It was a valid point. Oh, wait, it was too sophisticated for you to understand.

BTW, I don't think a coach EVER should coach to tank or tell his players to tank. Their job is to play to win.

The game is over. The season is over. The baiting of other posters by certain people who always seem to want to stir the pot is also over. Yep, sactownfan, that means you. Knock it off. Now.
 
So, if the draft goes according to positions (which it won't), the Kings will be selecting in a range where the BPA are likely SGs. The impact bigs will be gone. That's quite a mess. Barnes is perhaps the best fit that may fall to their spot.

So what does the team do? Trade someone to make room? Trade down for Marshall? Just trade the pick for a SF answer?
