2013 NBA Draft thread.

burke is traded, but to portland??? wtf

 

[Gary]

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

Heck yah.. None of us know if Evans will even be here but if he was moved back to PG we are going to go through this whole 14apg 35%fg as a team again.

 

[sdballer]

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

Based on what? He shoots more, barely gets better assists, and the offense sucked both ways. Take him out to 36 minutes a game and he'd be one of the worst pg's in the league in getting assists.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Burke traded to Portland? don't understand that.

 

[rainmaker]

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.

Agree. A great off the ball shooter who's great at movement/cutting/finding space is now a member of our team. Can play D. Aside from his handle not being that good he's a great pairing with Reke.

If we go in another direction before giving these two a chance together I'll be livid.

 

[hrdboild]

So we didn't get an ideal frontcourt pairing, but I really think McLemore is an ideal backcourt mate for Tyreke. We got shooting, length, athleticism, defensive potential. We still have a huge need for a defensive frontcourt player but we don't have to worry about Noel's knee and there's less pressure now to find a deadeye shooter for SF. McLemore is the third scorer, we jettison Petrie's fleet of little chuckers, and we concentrate on adding defensive role players now.

 

[swisshh]

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.

The Tyreke at PG thing was always a PR move. The amazing thing is that people still believe in it despite seeing the evidence against it first hand.

 

[Kingster]

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

I agree.

 

[flipray]

We may have our own BIG 3 now. Reke/Mclemore/DMC.

 

[The Hammer]

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

Gary, you're just weird. But we love you. God bless your persistence, though.

 

[sdballer]

I've already responded to that in the past that shows the team's stats were barely different with Evans and IT at point. But nice job rehashing it again

 

[The Hammer]

We may have our own BIG 3 now. Reke/Mclemore/DMC.

My thought exactly.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

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

amen

 

[Dime Dropper]

I think Nogueira is better than Gobert.

As do I, and I'd love to pick him up. Don't see it happening.

 

[Gary]

I actually like McLemore (but i did want Burke). He's probably going to be a top 3 player when all said and done.

As for the Evans/McLemore pairing, I will quiet down about that until we know if Evans is even going to stay..

So no more of that from me tonight..

 

[spudfan]

Kings wanted McCollum.... McLemore + Tyreke for Aldridge + McCollom? That would be interesting.

 

[Gilles]

I bet Bucks will pick Adams or Nogueira.

 

[Kingster]

Gary, you're just weird. But we love you. God bless your persistence, though.

Gary isn't weird. He's right.

 

[flipray]

I dont care what anyone says about Reke at PG. We have a coaching staff that will actually develop our players and will actually have a system. This is the fresh start we need and if Vivek's and Malone's plan is to have a backcourt of Reke/Mclemore then power to them. Reke has been playing PG since high school. This is finally his time to prove he can be a PG especially with a shooter like Mclemore

 

[kingwin]

we cant trade tyreke yet

 

[Dime Dropper]

Burke traded to Portland? don't understand that.

No, Burke traded to Jazz for 14 and 21. Portland took McCollum, surely another trade coming up...

 

[Gary]

Gary, you're just weird. But we love you. God bless your persistence, though.

Why thank you!

Don't take offense to anything I say. It's not said with malice towards anyone on the forum. But I do like to argue

 

[spudfan]

we cant trade tyreke yet

I know

 

[flipray]

Burke going to the Jazz.

 

[swisshh]

Tyreke at PG is a perfect tanking strategy. Obviously the plan is Wiggins.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

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.

we get it. you hate Tyreke Evans

 

[Glenn]

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

If we got Iggy or someone to play SF who can pass, we can cover for weaknesses. We're not done yet.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

SO Burke to MIN and McCollum to POR? Best draft ever in terms of surprises, entertainment,e tc.

 

[Kingster]

Will be interesting to see if Kings trade up for a mid-round first; they didn't have to use ammo to move up to get McLemore.

Tyreke at PG is a perfect tanking strategy. Obviously the plan is Wiggins.

Oh for Christ's sake...
