Done and Done. I think there is some potential great value in the mid to late first round this year. Or package up the 2 second rounders with the later first rounder and move up and get two key pieces.

This season is lost anyway, we might as well play the young guys and see what we have.

I hate to say it, but I wouldn't be too angry about this, either. Let's face it, Petrie's trade history is less than stellar and the Maloofs need cash. I assumed they would sit on their hands and let Landry walk for nothing. At least this way we get a pick :rolleyes:.

Agreed, I would rather do this than stay put and let Landry walk for nothing. There can be value had in the mid-late first. I honestly don't think we will acquire much better for Landry in terms of players, and call me crazy but I would rather get another 1st round pick then engage in a deal for Brooks.

While this may or may not be a true rumor, this is the type of wild and crazy out of the box thinking that comes from Petrie when it comes to trades.

The guy is a great drafter but I seriously question his ability to be creative and push for strategically complex deals that bring talent and meet key needs via trade. His one little "value" trick is to be the guy that calls after deals fall apart (SAR, Salmons, etc). Not exactly encouraging.

Still, this Landry for a middling pick idea is better than nothing.

I agree with you there, I want nothing to do with Brooks. But in a pretty weak draft, I'm not excited about what a mid-late 1st rounder can get us.

It remains to be seen how weak the draft will be. I'm a little higher on it than some, and it never hurts to have an additional first round pick. The pick could used to comsumate a possible trade at some point. It could also be used as a fallback, if we were to deal our original first round pick in a trade. To be honest, some of the players that I really like, and that might fit the Kings needs, aren't worthy of a top 5 pick, but would be a nice pickup in the middle of the round.

When you consider that the Maloofs are trying to find money anywhere they can, its probably a win/win as far as they're concerned.

I'm pretty much in agreement with the sentiment here - Petrie just can't do great trades anymore. And like most, I'll take a draft pick over nothing. Granted, I feel that a double-digit scorer like Landry is worth a late-lottery pick, not a mid-first rounder, but that's just me.

Yes, this draft is shaping to be worse than last year and on par with '06. But you never know. These are the kind of drafts where execs get the Top 5 all wrong and the real value is found deeper in the draft. An extra pick can't hurt...

I'm not as savvy with college basketball and players coming into the draft, but would it be worth it to maybe package the 1st round pick we get and a 2nd rounder or something to move up? or package our lottery pick with another to move up even further?

As others have said though a 1st round pick is better than nothing. And I'd love it if the kings could package their picks to be moved for a piece to improve the team and push it in the right direction.

A call to Indiana would be in order. They need a PF and Landry's weaknesses would get covered by Hibbert. Their pick will probably be right in the middle.

I think first, we need to find out just where our pick is going to be. Its possible that we'll have the first pick in the draft, so there would be no need to move up. At that point, we might think about moving down if there's someone we really like, but he's not worthy of being the first pick in the draft.

I'm a little confused by this statement. To the best of my knowledge Landry has no history of knee injuries. He had a foot injury at Purdue and had to sit out one year, but has had no reoccurence of the injury. The only other thing I can remember was, while with the Rockets he was shot in the leg while sitting in his car at a fast food resturant by a random drive by shooter. The wound wasn't serious and I think he only missed 3 or 4 weeks.

So I don't know where they get the knee injury stuff.

I am pretty sure he has had knee issues in college and its one of the reasons why he slipped into the 2nd round and why there was a stand off between Landry and Houston last time they were negotiating contract. Landry wanted more but Houston were not prepared to gamble with greater offer considering his knee history.

Several responses already, but...

According to Wiki, his injury in college was an ACL. But he's never had any trouble in the NBA, and I think this is a morbid attempt at humor given the Oden/Roy/Camby issues this year.

I don't know who John Canzano is, but knee issues makes no sense given he's never had any in the pros.

I could imagine a lot of other reasons of course.

Indiana is a good idea, if they'll take the call. And of course Houston at one point was interested and in the end could say they got Kevin for a mid-fist rounder. Just about getting a little value out of him whiel eh's here, and using the cap space this summer to go the way we want. Also clears the frontcourt up for all our tall kids.

Kmart was the 26th pick in the 04 draft. So a mid-level first should be good with the way Petrie works the draft.

Landry will walk at this seasons end. Probably sign with Houston.

Considering whatever team we trade him to has no guarantee of keeping him past the end of the season, I think a mid-first and cash is a pretty good deal.

I seem to remember a "weak" draft class two years ago that wound up potentially being one of the best in a while.

Don't tell me you haven't enjoyed Westphal's valient attempts to downsize on of the lengthiest rosters in the NBA into one of the most undersized ones. I mean, a line-up of Jackson/Landry/Reke/Beno/Pooh would make even Don Nelson proud.
