D'Angelo Russell for the #10?

[Big Cuz 15]

I think he could be a good bench weapon.

Could we do better than that with the 10th pick?

It does make me happy to see the value of a (once) hyped Laker prospect dip so low.

that donovan mitchell kid is pretty explosive. i'd take him over russell all day everyday. have him work with bobby jackson and we might have something special.

Russell was the cost of getting out of Mozgov's contract.

I think the Nets have the potential to make out like bandits in this, Russell played for Byron Scott and a rookie coach on a team that was clearly tanking with no veteran leadership. He was the #2 pick just a couple of years ago and Kenny Atkinson is highly regarded and I think will do wonders for the kid. We should have been able to beat that offer easily, maybe Vivek did not want to eat the Mozy contract?

I'm so glad we don't have to consider Russell a real possibility anymore. That was starting to scare me.

Russell was the cost of getting out of Mozgov's contract.

that would be the cost of getting out of deng's contract if we absorbed it. small initial gains in the 27th or 28th pick then gotta pay him and another kid/pick to get out of it.

Kings got involved in this...

David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
Lakers, per sources, engaged Sacramento in talks that would have sent the 2nd pick to the Kings for Sac’s two 1st-rounders (5 and 10) (1/2)

David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
Lakers would have then packaged one of the Kings’ picks w/27 & 28 along w/player in offer to Indy for Paul George. But Kings said no (2/2).

Glad we didn't help the Lakers and by the way.......we are going to get Fox, who may end up better than Ball.

Seems like we might want Jackson after all.

 

[funkykingston]

Ugh, can the draft just be over already?

 

[KingsFanSince85]

It's a wing league

Unless your implying Jackson is going to be there at 5 then I would say it's the opposite case. Anyways good job Vlade shutting that down.
