2016 NBA Draft Discussion

[biltalent]

Vlade, if you want to make happy select Luwawu at 13, Baldwin at 22.

 

[Mass]

I think we go with Baldwin at 13. And we will have another trade. I don't see us keeping all 3 first round picks

 

[Sac.Kings]

We also got a 2020 2nd rounder per twitter.

 

[kingsboi]

That Raptors fan is booing for no reason. The Raptors have themselves a good big man

Agreed. Valancuinas is due for an injury and with Bismack being a free agent, they got themselves a solid big, will protect the paint and rebound.

 

[Kingfanpaul]

So... another Bodiroga situation, then?

Exactly what I thought of. Great, another player who may never suit up for the kings.

 

[Amit149]

Yeah Baldwin seems very likely right now.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

baldwin at 13?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

We also got a 2020 2nd rounder per twitter.

Just pulling in the assets!

 

[dude12]

Vlade made a very nice deal with the hand he was dealt......now deliver at 13.

 

[Gilles]

who in the world is that?

A 24 y.o. starter for Euroleague runner-up: playmaking SG (4+ assists per 40 minutes), who shot 43% from 3 in domestic league and 37 % - in Euroleague.

 

[beb0p]

This is a draft where the talent is pretty even from 8 to 30 imo, so I can live with this trade.
.

 

[Spike]

I'm cool with the move, considering who was available. Chriss may develop, but it would be a waste for us right now.
Maybe having Vlade helps to bring Bogdanovic over.

 

[kingsboi]

Great trade by Vlade! Got more draft assets for simply moving down to select a player who will be there anyways.

It's only a great trade based on who they attain from those two first rounders since we won't be seeing Bogdanovic any time soon.

 

[Mass]

Exactly what I thought of. Great, another player who may never suit up for the kings.

Remember he's Serbian. And we have Vlade. If he traded for him, I'm pretty sure he knows more than us...

 

[Henkel]

Nice group of guards sitting at 13. We could have our pick of Baldwin, Luwawu and Valentine.

 

[206Fan]

If we get Baldwin at 13, I will PRAISE VLADE AND TAKE BACK ALL OF MY CRITICISM.

 

[Big Cuz 15]

vlade making gerbil look like a wanna be gm. stacking assets left and right. not trade exceptions and handing out 2nd rdrs like candy on halloween

 

[beb0p]

Bogdan Bogdanović is the #27 in 2014.

[peacelate]

A 24 y.o. starter for Euroleague runner-up: playmaking SG (4+ assists per 40 minutes), who shot 43% from 3 in domestic league and 37 % - in Euroleague.

That's pretty good. Vlade essentially flipped the Kings 8th for 3 first round draft picks and the player they wanted with the #8 will probably be there at #13.

 

[sdballer]

Remember he's Serbian. And we have Vlade. If he traded for him, I'm pretty sure he knows more than us...

I think he'll come over but he should wait one year for salary reasons

 

[JeffZX]

He was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 27th overall pick, in the 2014 NBA Draft. Not a good shooter either....less than 40%.

 

[Amit149]

Both in that trade and with the Marco trade it seems like we got great value.

 

[RussoTuristo]

I am sure Divac knows Bogdanovic game and probably the guy himself better than any other GM in the league. I do not think it was just a filler.

 

[dude12]

A 24 y.o. starter for Euroleague runner-up: playmaking SG (4+ assists per 40 minutes), who shot 43% from 3 in domestic league and 37 % - in Euroleague.

Vlade's biggest impact on our franchise may come from across the pond. Really like this trade. Smart.

 

[Sac.Kings]

Remember he's Serbian. And we have Vlade. If he traded for him, I'm pretty sure he knows more than us...

Don't forget we also have Peja. I'm from the same general area, culture speaks a lot from that place.

 

[peacelate]

It's only a great trade based on who they attain from those two first rounders since we won't be seeing Bogdanovic any time soon.

Sure, but the guy they want at #8 will be there at #13. They just got two draft picks for free. I see no downside.

 

[Glenn]

There was absolutely no player at #8 that even gave me a tingle. A trade for anything is fine with me especially if it is the Euro (hate that term) that people are expecting we will get. Is Vlade Balkanizing our team?

 

[kingsboi]

I am sure Divac knows Bogdanovic game and probably the guy himself better than any other GM in the league. I do not think it was just a filler.

It's a filler until he comes over and plays, that's even if he ever comes over.

 

[Warhawk]

Bucks #10 - Thon Maker

 

[joemama]

So 13, 22, 28, 59 right to bob AND futire 2nd rounder

Ur my hero vlade
