2019 NBA Draft thread

[The Effort Police]

Man... I know none of these picks would really mean anything in the long term, but this was still a pretty big letdown.

Hopefully free agency fares a little bit better.

Who's left on the market for C?

Adams, Horford, and Vuvevic are out per reports.

D. Jordan or Dedmon are left I guess, but options are dwindling and I'm starting to get worried. I guarantee this team will not play a single playoff game as long as WCS is starting.

If I was Vlade, it would have been...

#40 - Bol Bol
#47 - Jalen McDaniels
#60 - Louis King

Honestly only the Bol Bol one irks me. There’s no doubt James would have still been around at 47.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why?

Last year of his contract. Not gonna have money to offer him the deal he'll probably want/deserve when we also have Buddy and Fox to extend.

 

[Iced Espresso]

A stash at 60 is fine. Even if it takes him 5 years to come over.

That’s where I’m getting worried. I don’t want it to be true, but I’m starting to envision Willie coming back.

Dray and Ezeli were both picked while Jerry West was still on the Warriors staff. Bell had a nice rookie season then preceeded to suck for his sophomore year and the league got a scouting report on him. Damian Jones was only in their rotation to start the year due to injuries.

They still obviously run on the concept of what makes sense. The Kings run on cornering the market and stuffing up a spot so tight there's no way for anyone to fit in. They've done it before, we'll see if it works this time but it hasn't before.

WCS is available

Yeah. Am I mildly annoyed? Sure.

But late 2nd round picks are a crapshoot and Bol Bol falling so far honestly really concerns me.

 

[Heuge]

#75 and #95 ranked prospects. Hmmm...maybe there’s a better way...

#75,#95,#124 Someone tell this GM there’s a better way to manage assets.

 

[SacTownKid]

Hopefully we hear that Ponds and Caroline sign with the team for SL.

 

[upinsmoke]

Bogi won't be around after this season so he sorta makes sense as a draft-and-stash situation.

This is what I've been saying. You dont really want to pay two sg's starter money. Trading Bogdanovic is the right move.

 

[Kingz19]

That’s where I’m getting worried. I don’t want it to be true, but I’m starting to envision Willie coming back.

I’m pretty sure Willie is coming back at this point.

Why do you think we won't have money to offer him?

Im perfectly okay with trading Bogi.

#60 is getting stashed for a year or two. Guy is more of a combo and will see time at point. James is a huge mystery but has SF length.

 

[sactowndog]

I mean, the guy basically got the Joerger situation right and you've all got egg on your face regarding that.

I think I predicted Bagley also.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why do you think we won't have money to offer him?

Because we aren't the Wizards and dumbly maxing out everything that moves.

Oh no....I got something wrong.

Nah, you gotta trust bro. Vlade knows what he's doing! He and Peja Know all the Serbians!

 

[RaY Z]

LOL @ going through this thread.

I think it's crazy people are going crazy for picks they didn't want. It's the 2nd round for peet's sake.

Let wait till free agency/off season is over before we start crucifying Vlade.

 

[Tetsujin]

Im perfectly okay with trading Bogi.

I for one will miss him dumbly dribbling the ball for 15 seconds before jacking up a three while triple teamed every other possession.

 

[Kings_of_California]

I'm gonna go to the reddit sub and see how they feel about tonight

 

[upinsmoke]

I’m pretty sure Willie is coming back at this point.

You got that from LATE 2nd rounders?

 

[The Effort Police]

That’s where I’m getting worried. I don’t want it to be true, but I’m starting to envision Willie coming back.

I'm at the point where I don't want Willie back at all, even as a backup. He's not a bad person so I wouldn't call him "cancer", but I don't think he's good for "culture". I don't think he plays rotation minutes in the playoffs. He seems the type of guy who flits around mediocre to bad teams that pay him to put up decent numbers but not care.

 

[Kingz19]

You got that from LATE 2nd rounders?

...No

Nothing to do with the draft at all. I think the Kings will retain him.

 

[upinsmoke]

Oh no....I got something wrong.

Your banned. Do you have a STR account we need to know!

 

[SacTownKid]

I didn't catch his measurements but he doesn't appear to have much length.

 

[sergmatt]

Oh no....I got something wrong.

Well the point is whether you like what sactowndog has to say or not..........he has a very recent history of being right on multiple things in advance. He's a connected guy.
