Ego: Tyreke vs. Wall

Excellently put! Needs over wants. Just like last year. Everyone "wanted" Rubio. We see now how that worked out.

I actually lobbied for anyone BUT Rubio. If we're going with the needs over wants argument then we should just select Demarcus Cousins. Im much more interested in which players plug up our biggest holes than which player fits best next to Tyreke Evans in the backcourt. I swear, I really hope the FO doesnt have the same obsession with perimeter players that this board seems to have.

To anyone and everyone that would listen. I get it. My basketball existence doesnt start until i join Kingsfans.com.

Naah. I was already an old poster over here, when we drafted Kevin Martin: http://messages.yahoo.com/Recreatio...cramentokingsboard&tid=1&mid=1&tof=2987&frt=2

I was just curious, since, like me, many of us came here from elsewhere.

By the way, just between us, I think there have been many poor draft choices endorsed by most of us kingsfans posters. That's not to say that we were dumb or anything, things just don't always work out as expected. Almost all of us were drooling over Oden (I plead as guilty as anyone). Many really liked Beasley. And then there were oohs and aahs over Griffin and Thabeet, who may some day be something in the NBA, but aren't much now. (I like Bajaden too much to quote his post about how JT was a better risk than Westbrook.) We loved how those guys seemed like they'd fit into our team, but couldn't forsee that none of them would have had any real impact on the NBA by now.

We've all blown it before, I freely admit that. But bringing up Rubio as an example is really weak. Try again later, after he's played a couple of years in the NBA. Right now, it's not a sound argument, or one that either side can hope to win. It's like saying that Griffin was a wasted pick... or a great one. An argument like that may work some day, but not today.

Meanwhile, if all of us kingsfans folks agree that we really want to draft a particular player, it's probably a safe bet that they'll be hit by a train before the season opens. Hope that we get someone else, anyone else! ;)

I didn't hear it until just now, but if Tyreke said he wants Cousins, then Cousins he'll get (seeing he is still available during our pick). That which would make all this (as Rick Springfield so eloquently put it) point as moot.

Just my two cents.

Yeah it's done then. Tyreke's been saying all season he doesn't believe in the rookie Wall.
