Either I read your post wrong or you don't think much of Ivey. The point was in the tweet.
"haven’t heard a scout prefer Murray over Ivey, and a trade down for Sac feels tricky, considering Ivey’s perceived star potential"
If the Kings traded down to 6 and got a Duarte or more picks and then took who is left from Ivey, Murray and Mathurin, I wouldn’t be mad at all. That is probably as far as I trade down unless someone blows Monte away with a very, very good piece

I haven't even looked past those guys. My mind is made up. We have 4th pick I have no intention of wasting it. For once I don't want us to overthink things
What is the top 5 though? Consensus is only really firm up until Ivey pretty much. One had Murray split between Detroit and Indy at one point. I agree though, to me at this point if they don't get a great deal to get to a point to select Murray then you take Ivey and figure it out later.
We've certainly been fooled by trade-deadline acquisitions ourselves in the past. And I don't think anyone here was mad at Buddy when he came in and shot 43% on threes for his first 2 years in a Kings uniform. Sometimes it takes awhile for the new car smell to wear off.

Yeah, I don't think much of Ivey. My point was that he goes 10 in a strong draft like 2017 or 2021. And that's why I said he's wedged between Banchero (3) and Murray (5). I would call him technically the BPA at 4 and put him above Murray.
If it's for Holmes and expirings yes, for Barnes, I'm going to be disappointed. The one half wing in a win now window on a no wing team on a valuable expiring for a production stretch PF with like 100 million left on his deal. I'd take Barnes/Murray over that 10 out of 10 times. However if Ivey comes along the athleticism across the board is intriguing.
