2013 NBA Draft thread.

All we need is for someone in the Kings organization to mention a Reke/McLemore backcourt. Until that happens I'll remain quite skeptical.

The Kings luck turns for the better again.

 

[The Hammer]

Would love to see us move an extra guard for a mid round pick to take a big

Exactly my thought. Prefer Adams, but would take Gobert too. Whatever coach wants.

 

[kingwin]

luck would have given us noel

 

[Glenn]

Now that we have a supreme shooter, I want the Kings to put together a package for Adams. Thornton and Jimmer for any pick that will get us Adams.

THAT would make me a happy camper.

 

[rainmaker]

@KingJames: Mike Malone and Chris Jent will be perfect for Ben McLemore. Love those 2 guys in Cleveland

 

[Gilles]

I think Nogueira is better than Gobert.

 

[rainmaker]

No, we missed Noel by a single pick.

 

[Glenn]

A whole lot better than last year. Houston is trying to trade TRob.

Jimmer Fredette ‏@jimmerfredette 4m
Congrats to my new teammate @BenMcLemore! Looking forward to meeting you man.

Haha...

 

[kingwin]

honestly i liked mccollum better than maclemore, i hope we package him with min for 9 and 26 and grab mccollum and snell

Agree. I have a very good feeling about this. If "character" is an issue, that's actually the one thing I trust Vivek to be able to address, as he his a very personable fatherly presence himself, but can see that need and not have to spend a whole lot of money or pull off crazy deals to get it done, basically just like making a few more hires, his apparent strength.

 

[Mass]

Now I would love to trade MT or Jimmer for another first round pick...make it happen PDA!

 

[Entity]

well Tyreke at point. tyreke is a player that needs the ball in his hands. Maclemore is a player that excels off the ball. so wouldn't this be a good pairing?

 

[Kingster]

Well, we might have got our Klay Thompson at the 2. Interesting how that worked out.

 

[Gary]

If it's a Reke / McLemore back court I am going to throw up. We can't win if our PG cannot read opposing defenses and get the ball to open players.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Boo Hoo Gary. The alternative is letting Reke walking and trotting out IT and McLemore which would be awful.

I know there was the report about letting Tyreke walk...but seriously...a backcourt of Tyreke and McLemore has fantastic size and defense...and McLemore's shooting and lack of a handle fits Tyreke perfectly.

I'm going to assume that is the plan until we hear otherwise.

I agree...with the above poster that right now Thornton, IT, Jimmer are all expendable...and I would love to see a trade to get another first to get either Adams or a good sized SF defender who can shoot.

 

[Glenn]

well Tyreke at point. tyreke is a player that needs the ball in his hands. Maclemore is a player that excels off the ball. so wouldn't this be a good pairing?

I would think so. Both are tremendous athletes and that's a plus that can make up for a lot of problems.

Exactly what i'm thinking. It seems to fit...

Sure, if you think Tyreke is the high BBIQ pg that you want. That remains to be seen. Now that McLemore is at the two, it's going to be interesting how they view Tyreke.

 

[Gary]

Burke is not going to stay in MN

 

[Glenn]

Make my day. Trade Jimmer for Adams. Kinda doubt it but I'd throw in IT. Then we resign Douglas and we are OK.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

I hope we get Evans / McLemore ... but its pretty easy to doubt that is the outcome we will get.

 

[The_Jamal]

Would love to see if Minny is shopping Burke. That had BPA written all over it

Gary, I'm shocked you'd say such a thing.

 

[Gary]

Boo Hoo Gary. The alternative is letting Reke walking and trotting out IT and McLemore which would be awful.

At least IT knows how to play PG. He's not my ideal PG but he can see the floor 10x better than Evans.

 

[Uncia03]

Burke is not going to stay in MN

Yeah...I have to agree there. He doesn't make sense with Rubio...but this wouldn't be the first time MN takes a point while already having Rubio...

 

[The Hammer]

A thousand sunrises in the land of the free, YES.

I don't even know what the **** that means, that's how excited I am. I'm making up phrases.
