Draft Thread

[rainmaker]

Did we just sell a pick for money, or is it so we don't take on another salary and have more cap space for someone else next week? Why do I expect it's the former and not the latter.

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

And the fact that we have no idea what we got back .. probly means we just sold it.

Shame.

Kings will send 36 pick to Pacers. Pacers select Orlando Johnson

This is so effing gay. We have the chance to get a SF who has 1st round potential and we do this ****. When will we ever learn. **** Petrie/the Maloofs

 

[hrdboild]

Our draft just got downgraded from a B to a C for me. Total BS. Quincy Miller has top 10 talent.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I say trade Thornton for Deng then go all in on Nash.

[Uncia03]

I'm really upset right now.

 

[King in England]

Wow waited up until now (4am here) just turn learn that. Disapointing.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not everybody has partaken of the shot-blocking kool-aid. Sometimes, though, a person just gets tired of having to defend an opinion if it doesn't agree with the most vocal posters.

This.

 

[Heuge]

Wow.

It's for cash perESPN

 

[Dime Dropper]

Supporting the Kings is so disheartening sometimes. This combination of FO/Ownership is so inept it's not even funny. Talk about missing obvious opportunities. Really soured what should have been a good night. I mean it's not a huge deal, it's just typical of the Maloof's penny pinching ways. We could have gotten a good player.

I was thinking exactly this. People saying this guys has top 10-15 potential for next year had he stayed in school and you have a chance to take him in the 2nd and you sell it off for cash.

 

[kingzallday]

Well we better have a plan set-up to pick up a legit starting SF or im going to go ****ing bonkers.

 

[hiero]

that's so dumb.. why? I really hope there is some kind of plan behind this and our lineup isn't stupid next year

 

[twslam07]

Nash would be horrible with Evans

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Not sure why we traded our 36th pick, but not going to lose sleep over it.

 

[Bricklayer]

No shots for Deng now.

Jason got 7 shots a game last year as our starting PF. Unless you tell me TRob is going to get that or fewer, then there is no room for a third scorer in that lineup (4th so long as IT is still at the PG). TRob becomes the third scorer.

 

[Section 101]

Don't think they got their $3 mil in cash in trades this year. Just think after july 1st they can get $3 mil more.

 

[Gary]

LOL dumb move.. I wanted Miller too but the Maloofs pull a stunt like this..

Broke as bitches.

 

[KingsFanSince85]

The pick was sold for cash.

Yeah, the Maloofs certainly let Petrie run the show like they've always claimed, don't they? I'll bet George Maloof himself made that call to Indiana ...

but NO .... they aren't broke. uh uh.

@chadfordinsider: The Pacers sent the Kings cash in return for the 36th pick according to source

I have a genuine hatred for the Maloofs. Not even for a future second rounder. They have no business owning an NBA team. Complete idiots. Worst owners in professional sports by an ABSOLUTE MILE, and their complete arrogance and stupidity means they have no idea just how much they're despised.

 

[Bricklayer]

Hey, everybody hates the public sector and trumpets for profit above everything right?

Well welcome to for profit NBA team ownership.

Petrie's playing with hand cuffs. You have to believe that move was a Maloof move all the way. There were still good players available.

**** the Maloofs, worst owners in the NBA. I hate them

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Sell the ****ing team.

How embarrassing. OF COURSE WE SOLD THE PICK. Tools.

WAIT, our finances are fine though! totally! everythings good!

Always on the salary floor, selling 2nd round picks with talent on the board. **** off.

 

[JMelho]

I would trade next years 2nd to get new owners and a new FO. You have got to be kidding me. I hate the Maloofs.

 

[rainmaker]

They keep trading for cash, and turn around and spend it on guys like Outlaw and Hayes. F this. So damn hard to root for these broke a** losers. Don't they realize their "ROY" was picked at 60 last year?

 

[twslam07]

Probably a re-signed TWill

 

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

And they make Geoff Petrie make these phone calls. I almost feel bad for him. No wonder we get worked over by agents and other GM's. We are a joke.
