Kings Trade Down Poll?

Largely depends on what McNair is seeing.
My keep it simple vote is simply don't try to get get cute. I doubt McNair will do that, get too cute that is.
And that goes in line with my vote they have one in mind that they think will be there at four.
Now if they are confident that they can trade down, get additional assets and still get a player they covet, go get the additional assets BUT don't get cute.

It's very situational to me. I'd definitely have Detroit and Indy on speed dial for the 5 minutes after pick 3 is announced. But I wouldn't do anything crazier than a swap and a future pick or a player that can crack an 8 man rotation.
I would also consider making the same type of trade (one player or a future first, preferably 2024) to move up to grab Smith and only Smith.

They're not the only team with multiple picks, although they might be the most intriguing.
The Thunder have three picks: 2nd, 12th, and the 30th
The Spurs have three picks: 9th, 20th, and the 25th
The Rockets have two picks: 3rd, and the 17th
The Grizzlies have two picks: 22nd and the 29th
I'm not against trading down, but like most people, I have to know what I'm trading down for.

Pretty much what I think.
Sac seems always linked to Grant but that doesn’t mean he’s on Monte’s radar. If it is a simple trade of one draft spot with Detroit and an established player swap, that makes sense I would think at least for us. Detroit might not see moving up one spot that valuable.
Also, if possible to trade up for Smith do it.

Yeah I didn't include the Thunder or Rockets because we would have to either give up Fox/Sabonis/Davion/HB/future FRP to move up and I figured anything beyond the 16th pick or so has you picking from guys that are longshots to become good players.
Ideally the trade would just be our #4 pick for a solid player + a lottery pick. I think a team would have to be in love with Ivey or one of the other players mocked around our pick to make it happen. Would also involve Monte really liking a couple players mocked around the other team's lottery pick.
Probably not going to happen but I'm all about compounding assets over swapping out one valuable asset for another valuable asset.
