2013 NBA Draft thread.

[Bricklayer]

Why move IT? He would be a nice guard off the bench.

I would still be on board with a:

SG- McLemore
PG- Reke

6th- IT

arrangement, with IT moving into the role I've long envisioned him in as change of pace 6th man off the bench. Start big and thuddy, bring in IT as energy to speed things up.

Warriors just traded for #26.
EDIT: They bought it.

 

[Gary]

That may be true, but there's maybe a half dozen of those types of guys in the league. Not every team gets to have one. I loved John Stockton too, but he never won a championship did he? Not saying that's a knock on him, but a whole lot of inferior PGs do have championships. There are other ways to win.

Michael Jordan. I know though, he never did win a championship but he should have two of them if a certain Jordan didn't have Utah's number. Those two series they had were amazing.

Warriors just traded for #26.

What did they give up?

 

[beb0p]

You've been on vacation from kingsfans too long. The most debated topic around here is what qualifies as a PG.

Oh boy.

I guess I have been away too long.

 

[Gilles]

Now Woj reports OKC got #26.
Previous rumor was from Ford.

 

[theclash4u5]

Apparently the Warriors just bought the Wolves pick (the 26th).

 

[theclash4u5]

What did they give up?

Cash.

 

[hrdboild]

Dammit, OKC is always snapping up good players that slip.

 

[Andriod_KiNg]

Hopefully there are some Kings fans in the audience to give Stern a cheer when he announces his last pick.

 

[ElRey]

Apparently the Warriors just bought the Wolves pick (the 26th).

Ahhh the benefits of having non-broke owners! Would the Maloofs have spent cash to buy a pick? Heck no!

 

[rexb_kings]

Have you seen him play under Malone? Malone and Warriors were able to get the most out of their players! Klay, Barnes, Green, Ezelli? It's pretty much a clean slate for the Kings with the new FO and coaching staff. They also showed some good signs when playing with better effort and almost beat the Heat (may have broken that 27 game streak midway) and if they play like that night in and night out Kings will be really good and a lot better.

 

[Spike]

Why move IT? He would be a nice guard off the bench.

Off the bench is true - but in order for that to happen, Evans and McLemore have to start, unless:

Evans leaves, at which point, who do you start?
Evans stays - who comes off the bench?

It's tricky right now. We HAVE to move some guards. IT is cheap, which makes it tough. Jimmer and Thornton should be logical targets.

 

[OnYouLikeGlue]

That guard combination would be ideal. You could play any 2 of the three together at any time.

 

[Gilles]

Woj reports that Warriors got #29 from OKC, so it seems Warriors bought #26 and then traded it to OKC for #29 plus something else.

 

[Entity]

just curious. how would monta Ellis and maclemore backcourt look?

 

[swisshh]

A likely scenario is the three guard lineup with IT, Reke and Mclemore on the floor together. Thornton would be shopped for something.

I am just saddened that even in this draft the team is picking BPA rather than look at team needs.

 

[Gilles]

Andre Robinson is very suspect.

Did you pull an all nighter? 5:21 am in Moscow, right?

 

[rainmaker]

Poop.

 

[hrdboild]

Andre Robinson is very suspect.

I said that before they made the pick. Sounds like it's actually going to GS now though? I'm streaming online and i think I'm a good 10 seconds behind.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Looking good thus far for Withey, Gobert, or Mitchell.. Would settle for Muscala, Wolters, Kabongo, or Ledo.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

just curious. how would monta Ellis and maclemore backcourt look?

Actually, good point here. Can't see us going after Monta now, so that's good.

 

[Gilles]

Did you pull an all nighter? 5:21 am in Moscow, right?

Fell asleep earlier, woke up and just can't go back to sleep. Something keeps me up.

 

[KingsCitizen]

Spurs gonna be the winner of the first round by picking that big French later.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

just curious. how would monta Ellis and maclemore backcourt look?

stupid

 

[Gilles]

Nuggets pick Gobert for other team.
EDIT: for Utah.

 

[sdballer]

Utah's had a nice draft:

Burke
Dieng
Gobert

 

[Dime Dropper]

OKC take Roberson. Maybe see him as this years Faried? Undersized but very athletic, good rebounder and hustle guy. He'd been completely off my radar, don't think I'd read anything about him before I heard the pick.

 

[Mojo]

Spurs gonna be the winner of the first round by picking that big French later.

Was thinking this too. Exactly the type of player the Spurs would pick.
