Hopefully this long-long thread locked by tomorrow and get a new draft day one going. I went away late this afternoon for couple hours and was insane trying to keep up with avalanche of posts coming in. Fun reading but insane to keep up. Tomorrow "The Day" and needs to be special and rolling on with another 100+ page comments for sure.
Prediction just for the hell of it: 1) Orlando - Smith 2) OKC - Banchero 3) Houston - Ivey
4) Sac - Holmgren 5) Detroit - Murray 6) Indiana - Mathurin (of course trades could scramble it all)

they are difficult for anyone to find
I would pretty much lose my mind if that happened, and not in a good way. I want Ivey, Murray, or Mathurin. I could live with Smith or Banchero. Chet scares the hell out of me. I know he's uber talented and a defensive stud and soon to be blinged out and sporting a grill to his draft day press conference but we have terrible luck with drafting bigs in the lottery. And the rest of the NBA hasn't fared much better.

I keep getting the ESPN notification ringing in my headphones thinking it’s a juicy trade only to be updated on the Stanley cup.

Neither did the Spurs if he's on the trade block!
I don't hate it. For me it needs to be OG and something else if we're giving up a 4th overall pick, but he's exactly the type of player we need, he seems like a guy who is due for a monster season, and he's the right age to slot into our core group.

With the 4th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings select....
Jaden Ivey
Paolo Banchero
Paolo Banchero
He's my biggest boom or bust pick and I don't see how he makes it out of the top 3.

Leave him on the board if hes there.
Brad Stevens would make a killer Emperor Palpatine. Just get him a nice hooded cape and a little chin makeup, done and done.
Part of me is not sure how you can, but that's where maybe you are figuring out who wants to jump up since Ivey would certainly be gone? Unfortunately I think Detroit, Indy and Portland all pass.

well if Monte feels the same way you do he will an opportunity to make it happen
No we can have any of those guys now. I don't think Monte is too concerned with winning the post-draft grade report. So we're ok.
I don't but only because I expect both Mathurin and Murray to be gone by 7 and I'm not really high on Davis or the consensus top 3. I think #4 is the best spot to be in this draft -- its the place where you get to pick whoever you want after the obvious top 3 picks are made or extort other teams who've fallen in love with someone they think is their missing piece.
There is a 100% chance that some subset of Kings fans will be pissed at the result no matter who it is. I think there's also a 100% chance we'll be a better team next year with Mike Brown and his staff in town and whatever the #4 pick nets us on our roster. This should be a time to kick back, relax, enjoy the draft day fireworks, and get used to the idea that a Fox and Sabonis core is going to be really good for quite awhile.
Personally I am only high on Jabari so 4 is great because you have to pick the other guys if they are available (I think, maybe Monte does have enough trust capital to say "trust me" on a highly regarded prospect he doesn't like, but I am not sure). All he has to do now is align with Brown in whoever they want and I am sure Vivek will sign off.

No I want to trade the pick personally. OG would be my target.

I'm with upinsmoke on this one.
Until proven otherwise and a different type of trend begins, leave the Duke players on the board for someone else to select.
Seemingly most the top prospects from that school have been injury prone. Even the great Grant Hill had issues with staying healthy. And we all know about Zion's career to this point.
Jayson Tatum is the only real exception since Elton Brand and he's still a frustrating player that is great but not THAT great.

no, but sure wish we had stayed put in the 2018 draft when most of us were talking Mikal Bridges before moving up.

Didn't catch that. It went thru the trade checker.
The Tyrese TE is still enough to make Thybulle work tho.

That. That's what I wanna see. And two big post guys

He should be worried about his job. Cause if he passes on ivey for any of those too, he will be looking for one

Eh, moving up wasn’t the problem. It was the decision making, as usual.
Hell, they could have selected Bridges #2 if they thought he was that good.
It’s never a bad thing to have better draft position.
Had they not moved up in the 2018 draft the decision makers they had at the time still would have found a way to screw up no matter where they drafted.
