[Rumor] Kings looking to ‘move up’ in the draft

[HndsmCelt]

When you have no first round pick, quite literally any trade you make that puts you in the first round even at number 30 is trading up in the draft. So I wouldn’t over read into the headline.

Clayton is a very, very, very Monte move. Don't know what Perry thinks, but still, I see the fit and potential for immediate results.

If he is the target it’s probably going to need to be that 20th from Miami.

Agreed, I wouldn't feel safe in getting him (if he were an absolute target) beyond that - maybe not even there depending on other teams. That #16 from Orlando that they don't have anymore would have felt more comfortable.

Either way, there will be some value in the draft in the 20s for teams that hit, if we get a pick we just have to draft smart!

Ace Bailey has not worked out for the 76ers. He is not exactly showing high interest in being drafted there. What would it take to execute a trade with the Kings for no. 3?

We don’t have a pick it would take Keegan

No way is Keegan getting the Kings up to 3. He's got to be extended soon so that would have to inhibit his value. The only way the Kings could get there is adding picks but that would be stupid.

Ya there’s zero chance we move up to three and Bailiay isn’t even worth the hassle

He isn't working out for anyone and is acting like he's entitled. Not someone I would be trading up to draft.

I'm pretty sure he's the second-best player in the draft. I would absolutely trade up to grab him, especially if I were on a rebuilding arc.

Maybe his mom still cuts his steak for so he wont do interviews.

Isn’t his best trait that he was hitting rough shots that’s a major red flag

 

[Capt. Factorial]

His best trait is that he can create his own shot at 18. Only guy outside of Flagg in this draft who has a chance to be a franchise player, in my dumb opinion. And let's be clear, I am a moron. But that's where I am on this draft.

Something (or some things) we (the Kings) don't even have in our possession.

 

[Makaveli]

Well with Derozen and possibly Sabonis being the only top names maybe on the trade market now that Durant is gone somebody is willing to overpay FOMO might set in.

If you can get off the Lavine contract this offseason with assets coming back in return, I’d say just go ahead and pull the trigger on the full Monty rebuild.

Bro if this is true and we don’t sell on all of them someone better “Donald Sterling” Vivek. You just need a top five pick in next years draft to have a good set up top three and we’re looking at one of the brightest futures in the league.

 

[kingsboi]

with all this supposed interest, let's see how interested they are based off the value in return

Just trade Deebo for Cason Wallace.

May I remind you, this is a family board.

The Full Monte is a vest with zip-on sleeves
