    Draft Day!

    agree, I just don’t want to give up the 13th for him. My latest thoughts, hope Holland is still there at 13, draft him and then see what we can get for Barnes, and Huerter unless he becomes a bench player. I’m also intrigued by Edey and now to a lesser degree Holmes.

    yeah, looking at some of the most recent mock draft pundits I see Holland going as low as 17 and 20. Is he really having that poor of workouts? Maybe he will slide to us, in which case sure hope 13 is not part of a trade for an established player.

    I’ve been cautiously intrigued by the Kuzma fit for awhile. I just don’t want to give up the 13th as part of the deal. I wouldn’t be surprised if Holland slips and that’s more intriguing. We will still need a back up big, unless were expecting a return of Len. Maybe Phoenix would consider their...

    Kings picking 13th overall (formerly the draft lotto thread)

    With Monk back in the fold, i’m actually warming up to Holmes. I think he could be a nice complement to Sabonis and even spot him at times playing center. I watched some interviews of his and he‘s sharp. Many think he could be had later in the draft but that’s tricky if he’s your guy. I also...

    I’d think that depends on the matchup. Holmes is the same size as Sabonis entering the league only Holmes has three inches on Domas when it comes to wingspan. He’s a big that should be able to play along side Sabonis with his skills, including floor spacing, and in time provide spot minutes at...

    yes twslam07 did a nice job on this trade scenario. I sure don’t know how Charlotte feels about it but I like changing the narrative away from Grant, Kuzma, Ingram… as a trade partner. With this proposed line up while keeping the 13th, I can see going big in the draft. Holmes is making more...

    I’m enjoying all the possibilities and appreciate that we have a competent FO. With Monk locked in, the direction is somewhat clearer, but still so curious if the 13th will be part of a trade for an established forward or should I stay enthusiastic about this years 1st round. I like Bajas...

    I was thinking salaries matching. Caruso is currently on a 9 million dollar per year contract. Anyways, good luck moving LaVine without Caruso attached, seeing it’s unlikely they’d include the 11th, maybe Williams can sweeten the pot.

    Kind of hate to see that trade go down, but Giddey aint chopped liver and still cheap. As far as any LaVine to Sac rumour, it certainly has lost attraction but I wouldn’t mind the 11th pick, recon that’s about where Carter is going to go.

    If the Kings make a move for LaVine and Caruso then even less reason to consider another guard. da Silva should be sitting there at 13 and adresses that position of need with maturity, and of course Baja makes a good case for him. Bleacher Reports comp for him is Trey Lyles which I wish was a...

    Your definitely Bubs biggest advocate. And I too see him as a solid pick especially if Monk leaves. I’ll be curious how your prediction plays out.

    Jalen Smith reminds me of Mike Brown with hair. Sorry about that irrelevant observation. Maybe he’s a good FA target, i’m just not sure about how he complements Sabonis.

    Kings picking 13th overall (formerly the draft lotto thread)

    yeah I saw your lol, still Sacramento has a history where some draftees, players, or their agents have wanted to stay clear. I don’t know in what context Gay said this is basketball hell, but it’s kind of ridiculous considering what many people have to put up with for a pay check.

    Or Bub at 13. Unfortunately it’s looking less likely that Carter will still be around. Holmes or da Silva at 21 would be a score, start talking Monte with the Pels.

    Iv’e thought about this, but Gay would have to be pretty short sighted to not recognise this is a different team. I like what Bub could bring to this team, and recon we could be a pretty good opportunity for him but that’s complicated by rather or not Monk returns.

    , Thanks. I also like the idea of them as a bench duo but management would likely find that pricey. Even if we draft another guard Ellis, for now, is my preference for starting with Fox. Monk is great off the bench but not sure if thats how he sees his future. Huerter might just be more...

    Question here. What teams actually have any interest in Huerter. I've read reports that Chicago might but thats to unload LaVine. Washington might as a possible piece to a Kuzma trade and Huerter is s a Maryland guy. Anyways, curious what value he has to other teams because we keep throwing his...

    Kings picking 13th overall (formerly the draft lotto thread)

    I’m pretty convinced Carter won’t be there at 13. Holmes, I need to look more into. He certainly has the college numbers and size to address our most glaring need. If there’s any chance Orlando would consider the Isaac and 18 for one of ours and 13, which is an idea brought up here, I think...

    Fair enough. The protected FRP would convert to seconds the next year in this scenario but DFS is over thirty and one year left on his current contract. I was a bit intrigued and the proposal didn’t include Kuzma or LaVine, two frequently mentioned players that many have problems with.

    just reading a Bleacher Report proposed trade. that I assume works and shouldn’t spark much debate about quality of player, injury history, or team fit. Kings send Davion Mitchell, Chris Duarte, and a 2027 top ten protected pick for DFS. I like the idea of keeping this years 13th. With our...
