Grant's Prediction today at 3 PM

[Tetsujin]

The Kings don't have much money, so they are making moves hoping that the NBA suddenly changes into a 6'6'' and under league.

Makes more sense than the Maloof's finances!

 

[steelevt]

But hey, we're one step closer to our dream lineup.

Salmons
Evans
Thornton
Waiters
IT


(AAU) championship, here were come!

well evans said he didnt want to play SF anymore. well now he gets his wish...playing PF out of memphis Tyreke Evans!!!!

 

[beb0p]

Waiters?

Since the Kings never worked him out I find it hard to believe he's the pick. It would not have been hard to get him in for a little face time with the staff before the draft.

But it's possible the Kings are picking for another team and Grant just happened to overheard his name...

I doubt Grant overheard anything... he is just taking a guess with the information he has...

Then it's a really bad guess that makes little sense.

 

[rainmaker]

Sounds like this fool has been sniffing glue again.

 

[Section 101]

If the Kings take Waiters, Evans should just start packing his things.

Which could be the plan if they don't want to pay him after next year. He could be traded anytime between now and his next payday.

 

[Mass]

I'm not worried about Waiters. Do you really believe that if this was the real pick, and Grant really had inside news, he would just give all the information right before the draft?!?

Just smokescreen, they would never tell what they really want to do.

 

[IfAt1st]

I always used to like him, thought he made good points and he was a solid broadcaster compared to many other nba casters. The last few years though he has gone way downhill for me.

I just want to officially agree with this:

Grant used to be a darned-insightful, and IMO relatively honest and straightforward commenter about Kings, players, and even the FO.
The past few years is another person entirely, on-the-air, and it's just a shame that he has come to epitomize what the worst of his detractors used to parrot back in the day.

 

[Hallama]

Thinks there is a lot of discussion with the #2 (Bobs) and the Kings (#5)

Deon Waiters is the guy, per Grant, unless somebody trades up before Kings to get him, or Cleveland takes him. They will select Waiters over MKG. Unless there is a huge deal there.

I have a sneaky suspicion the Kings are offering Tyreke + #5 for #2 (Robinson) + change.

 

[kennadog]

Grant is only predicting. I did hear him say he's been wrong more than right about the Kings draft choices over the years.

Maybe the Kings think Davis will fall to #2!

David Stern: With the 5th pick...in the 2012 NBA draft.. the Sacramento Kings select Ron Bur...I mean, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist from the University of Kentucky.

That could be a lot more important than this pick!

I'd trade the pick for Burkle in a nano-second.

 

[Gary]

I hope that is not the pick (Waiters). We don't need another SG, and that would mean Evans is stuck at SF or PG.. Both are worst case scenarios for me.

[Peter_Gibbons]

So Grant came through. Grant the Oracle?

 

[PurpleHaze]

My favorite moment of NBA draft afternoon was when a KHTK radio caller said, "Hi Peaches, you stinking Maloof mouthpiece." The screener missed cutting off the comment and it went out without a word back from Napear - just on to his next call. Most absurd, crazy moment was when some ESPN female interviewer asked Thomas Robinson's 9-year-old sister if she was, "happy to go to California, a long way from home, close to Disneyland." The cute little shy girl did not really say much in the bright live TV lights but all I could think of is how ironic "Disneyland" was thrown into the little chat - after renching Anaheim fiasco.

Funny how you guys want to give grant crap for his prediction yet the player goes one spot ahead of the Kings.

This makes my day!

Hopefully this happens BEFORE Tyreke is traded or we don't match the offer. C'mon Stern make it happen!

You do realize that the little girl's mother has recently died and that she's obviously still mourning and coping and that the interviewer, while having to do her job, was trying every way she could to be sensitive to the young girl, right? Kids love Disneyland so she was trying to cheer the kid up after getting some perhaps tough news that now she has to move all the way to California, as the girl responded to the first question about moving "It's a long way from home."
