Kings trade 49th pick for rights to Sasha Vezenkov

[Tetsujin]

Serbiangoat gonna have to fill us in on this one.

 

[Tetsujin]

I guessing Cleveland’s also probably sending us cash considerations for this one too

 

[Ozymandias]

Lefty dead eye shooter I remember this guy from that draft!

 

[Tetsujin]

3/4 combo forward. Probably a 4 in the NBA.
Dude’s a good shooter from three.

26, 6'9 forward, Lefty spacer archetype. made all Euro-League 1st team, which seems enormously impressive. I'd imagine we're pretty confident he wants to come over this season?

 

[Ozymandias]

we we just talking about how difficult it was gonna be to find shooting with this pick in the actual draft in the 2nd rd pick thread.

One of the best shooters projected in that range right now is 7'1" toothpick john butler whos 174lbs and obviously not gonna be ready for NBA action for some time

maybe Monte was really serious about finding shooting.

Apparently he had no intention of signing with Cleveland, as they sent us $1.75M for a pretty lousy pick AND gave up his draft rights.

Super impressive resume this season, looks like he's been a real riser the last few years.

If he comes over, I'll already say fantastic use of the 49th pick.

I wonder if the money they‘re sending over is to pay his buyout with his Euroleague club

The cavs have 4 picks in this draft. I think think they want to use some combination of 39, 49 and 56 to move up a bit.

Or they could just go the old Sixers route and use them all on players that don't break camp with the team.

Curious if we really want this guy or are we just selling picks again that become NBA players for someone else.

SELLING PICKS AGAIN...IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY HERE.

Could have sold the pick straight up without the player rights. There's at least some smoke here.

Not sure he’s coming over. Think this was just another selling 2nds for cash.

7’1 174lbs shouldn’t be possible hope this kid gets drafted just so he can afford some cheeseburgers

Pretty intriguing player if he comes over!

If not, who cares? 2nd round picks are only useful to the anti-Monte crowd for nit picking and straw grasping.

Has Monte hit on a second round pick? Seeing that he has not...he sold this 2nd pick for 1.75 mil...pretty simple and a player not likely to make any noticeable improvement to an NBA roster, if he should make the roster at all. Yes, 2nd round picks do have value =1.75 mil.

I am pretty sure that those unhappy with this trade will come up with a list, probably in March or April with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, of the players that they were absolutely "on record" of saying we should have taken at 49.
