if Noel is available and we draft McLemore instead, I'm going to shoot someone.
This. The McLemore bit of that tweet is separate and could just be Woj's speculation.

I am now hearing that Tyreke Evans will not be in attendance tonight for the Kings draft party.
Finally a rumor that makes sense. I hope we're at least trying to trade up because that means we have a target in mind. I hate how Geoff would simply sit back and wait every year and let other teams dictate which players were going to be available. I have McLemore at #3 on my board so I'd be thrilled with the pick. Like I said before though, I don't trust any rumors being circulated about our team right now because it's very likely that some deliberate misinformation is involved.
I'd prefer Oladipo as well, but it's not like McLemore needs the ball to be effective. His whole game is moving off the ball and spotting up or cutting to the basket.
That really doesn't look very promising. Maybe jumping to conclusions, but all signs are pointing towards a 'Reke exit. IF that's the case, the new FO are off to a terrible start in my books.

Pollard got something against Kansas?

The Kings have already stated they are going to play hardball with him, I would think his agent would advise him to do the same
Ooooh, I've said I'm gonna support and trust the process but McLemore in, Reke out is my nightmare scenario! On paper don't know how a Reke/Mclemore backcourt would work... seems light on ballhandling and passing. Seems like we want a two that resembles Klay Thompson a bit though and with that I have no problem.
Scot Pollard who called out Robinson as a bust last year is calling out McLemore this year
They haven't officially said that. That's only according to CD's sources, whoever they are.

Chad Ford tweeted that the Suns are offering #5 and #30 to the Cavs for #1.
:S

If this is linked with Reke moving on, I'm so dissapointed. This is a young, talented guy that has been a professional his entire time here. He's dealt with position changes, poor coaching, poor management, dysfunctional lineups, etc. He hasn't been a big complainer, he's been an active participant in supporting the fans and the efforts to stay. He has expressed a desire to stay in Sac.
And it sounds like we are going to push him out. Vivek and co are new and maybe they haven't realized how few players have been excited to come here.
I really hope I'm overreacting to things, which wouldn't be unusual.
you and i are experiencing the same exact feelings. i want to believe that i'm making waaaaay too much of speculation and rumor, but i'm also made very nervous by the following facts: 1) vivek ranadive, pete d'allesandro, and mike malone are all rookies in their respective roles with the kings, 2) ranadive and malone are warriors alum, and while the warriors' defense improved considerably with malone on board, they're still a live-or-die-by-the-three kinda team, which has never been my preference as a fan, and 3) d'allesandro was a number-cruncher in denver, a guy that remains unproven as a talent-evaluator in a lead front office position. i want to believe that they're willing to give tyreke evans a chance, particularly if it doesn't cost them more than $8-10 million, but it just seems so foolish to let him walk for nothing when the team is bone-dry for worthy assets under contract outside of demarcus cousins...
Well add me to your group. Appreciating what Vivek has done and being optomistic about PDA is different from having confidence because of prior success. Anyone thinking those two will automatically make good basketball decisions is basing it on hope, as there simply isn't any substance to it. And I will continue to hope they make good decisions and continue to hope much of this is smokescreens, but it's still hope, yet that hope will begin to turn to substance, good or bad, within a couple hours.
There's also the aspect both GS and Den lacked penetration and that was a huge part of their downfall, when the jumpers stopped falling they had nowhere to turn. Was it because they hadn't acquired the right pieces yet or is it due to philosophy? Well, we're going to find out pretty quickly. I do not want to see a reliant on jumpshooting, GS/Den part three here in Sac.
Well neither of those teams have a Demarcus cousins down low, so we're a step ahead in that regardWell add me to your group.

they lead the league in paint scoring that's not what I'd call lacking penetration.
