Kings trade 49th pick for rights to Sasha Vezenkov

All good.
I listened to the latest Jerry Reynolds Podcast at the Kings Herald. Paraphrasing Jerry on Monte's style: we know he (Monte) doesn't go for big swings. He likes those middle of the plate fastballs where he can hit the ball up the middle. He likes singles.
So assuming Venzenkov doesn't come over, pretty certain Monte will fix that singles attempt with one of the following singles attempts: Paul Milsap (get the OG Milsap to tutor Milsap 2.0), Kent Bazemore (safe and comfortable), or Bjelly (GSW, OG Venzekov). I vote for Milsap.

"Nahhh.... c'mon now. How can Monte know better in European basketball, ahem, Euroleague for authenticity, than ME?
I watched 2, TWO Youtube videos, one even had commentators in the European language! And this Sasha guy don't look nothing to me.
why waste a 2nd round pick for this? Remember Papagiannis?"

Oh so this situation will resolve in less than 2 weeks..
Which is all kinda perfect timing IMO.. In the event we dont land him we'll have all these players who dont have contracts past Summer League that can possibly show something they'd be interested in..
The rest of the F/A Market has come to a screeching halt since the initial Blitz on day 1..
and IMHO we already have some form of insurance for not landing Vezenkov on the roster in Trey Lyles...
N i think the Kings have something to offer many teams do not, which is a chance to break into the rotation..
This seems like a bet thats been smartly hedged many different ways

I personally probably won't, but I bet Draymond Green and Gilbert Arena would.
But hey, you spoke in sure terms from the get-go, so apparently, you know your subject matter so who am I to question?
Actually, by your definition, the NBA should just abolish 2nd round and let the rest of those "unqualified" just be free agents.

It is indeed.
We know nothing for certain. Back in the day, if you run home and tell your mom about some rumor you heard from your classmates, your mom would smack you upside down and question, "Says who? What kind of proof do they have?"
Yet these days, we actively killed off journalism as a whole, my previous profession, by taking a word or two out of context from anywhere and conjuring it up with your own uneducated thoughts or ideas and just presenting it to the marketplace like it was gospel because no one bothers to check for the source and no one bothers with retractions.
It sickens me that we as a society collectively abandon the Scientific method and chose to run their mouths with alternate facts no matter how ignorant they are about the subject.
(PS: Sorry mods for the side banter. This will be my last post related to it)

All that hot air because your reading comprehension failed you? My quote:
Not a fan of holding up the last roster position for a guy who more than likely won't even be an average rotational player even if he does come over. There were probably better ways to use the money/roster slot.
I'm sorry but both of your responses there are complete and utter strawmen. Not only that, but your 2nd post is pure hypocrisy, top to bottom. You just went on a rant about a thing that you hate while you were actively exhibiting the same behavior you were just ranting about. Astonishing that you can't even see that. Ever heard of the pot calling the kettle black? Look it up.
Back to my point, no my definition would not to be to abolish the 2nd round. That is a purely made up and fictional definition that you created in your own head and pinned on me. But I will say that the majority of second round picks more than likely don't wind up being average rotational players. If you don't like that statement, then prove me wrong.

Beli was better than this guy anyways. He should be jumping for a chance to play on NBA. If you believe in yourself you have opportunity to play your dreams out in nba, get a max deal and reach for the sky. You already reached as far as you can in that league as MVP. If that doesn't motivate you we don't need you
