Draft Thread
- Thread starter rainmaker
- Start date
I would put Jimmer, Thornton, Salmons, Outlaw, Hayes, Garcia on the block to see if we can get a starting NBA SF, obviously we will be stuck with at least 3 of these 6 guys, and you only trade Thornton if it nabs you a starting SF or Vet PG.
I want to see
Vet Pg/Isaiah
Tyreke/
Vet SF/Honeycutt
Robinson/JT
Cousins/Whiteside

Bullsh*t Brick. The guy is the best in the biz when it comes to making players around him better; shooters, non shooters, finishers, non finishers, etc. Reke would learn to move without the ball or he would learn to shoot. Ridiculous that we are now discussing him (along with pretty much everyone else)being a bad fit with Reke. Is there anyone you feel would be a good fit with Reke or Cousins?
It is not that bad regarding the lineup.
Last year lack of size on the roster was forcing us to have Reke as SF and 6'6'' first backup "big", creating defensive issues at at least 3 positions at one time.
Just switching Reke back to be a guard and discovery of T-Will as part time SF makes us ton better than last year.
If we resign T-Will, the lineup IT(23)-Reke(23)-TWill(25)-TRob(21)-DC(22) with MT(25)+JT(26) bench makes us competitive, maybe close to playoff.
With no changes whatsoever, this is playoff team in 3-4 years easy.
Adding defensive SF veteran and shot blocker for any of our resources (IT/MT/JT/TRob/Jimmer/picks) replaces word "playoff" with contender.

I don't know what's wrong with selling that pick when we still have too many players to develop and not too many minutes to give them. It is not as if those players left are surefire NBA-caliber players.
Ant to those who keeps on blaming the Maloofs on whatever they do to save money, I hope what is happening to the Maloofs family does not happen to your family.

Yeah, very tough for the,. It must be hard knowing that if they're forced to sell, they'll only be multi-millionaires. People really aren't considering the awful situation they're in. It's certainly not their fault, and not a result of complete business inadequacy. And they're definitely not bringing on this criticism themselves by making a string of horrible decisions that both hinders the franchise and their own personal wealth.
It's just a tad different. Owning an NBA team is a "luxury" and the Maloofs should not have this "luxury" when they are crashing and burning financially. I doubt normal people keep mansions, sports cars, and yachts when they have no money. They are treating the Kings organization like someone would treat a brokerage house or something.
I want defense as bad as anyone else but Kidd-Gilchrist was already gone. We had to take the best player available at that point and it was easily Robinson. It's not like we took some 6'3" combo guard chucker who scores 25ppg and can't defend to save his life on the other hand. We got an athletic guy who is ready to come into the league and play immediately. He can score, rebound and defend adequately. He doesn't have big shot blocking numbers but we couldn't take a chance on someone like Drummond who most likely has bust written all over him. I think you are too enamored with the shot blocking stat. We have Whiteside for that if he can develop.
Until then, lets enjoy the fact that we are going to be rebounding monsters for the next few years.

I don't really care about selling the 2nd round pick. He have way too much young talent to begin with. Cousins, Evans, Robinson, Isaiah, Jimmer, Honeycutt, Whiteside are all young players that still need developing. It's time to surround these guys with legit NBA vets that will help them grow, yet still contribute.
