Glenn
Hall of Famer
I understand this logic, and mostly agree with it (but like you said, it heavily depends on if Gay stays) ..
But I don't know that the player we are talking about is available.
Do people believe in Chalmers? I'm not sure I do. And I have a feeling he's very comfortable winning titles with Lebron and Co.
I like Hinrich, but I don't know if he's starter caliber anymore. Will be 34 by next season.
Then there is Devin Harris, and he and Cousins hate each other. Also hasn't been a starter in a while. Not a great shooter.
And then there is the possibility of a trade, of course. Not sure the Kings have a ton of assets where they get the better player in return, though. At least not assets I'm trying to trade right now.
Unless it's RondoThen we can all stop talking about it.
Let us say we draft Smart (someone pick bajaden off the floor

I note bajaden's vehement objections to Smart. I also note Smart is very good on defense. We simply have to commit to getting defensive players some day. That's half the game and would take the pressure off the bigs.
I am not saying I would pick Smart over Vonleh if the choice had to be made.
