Accordingly to David Alridge.

Good job, Vlade.

 

[lwc]

Thank you Vlade!

 

[Iced Espresso]

I guess this means whoever Vlade wants has a good chance at being there at 5.

 

[AaronPDX]

And a Kings' SMART draft decision? Maybe they really have turned a corner!!

 

[Kingster]

I guess this means whoever Vlade wants has a good chance at being there at 5.

Either that or he has a deal for the #3 or #4 that doesn't require giving up the 10th pick.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

That should put to rest any other rumors of us packaging #5 and #10. If we aren't going to do it for the #2, we aren't going to do it.

 

[gunks]

I think Vlade is happy with our options at 5, without a strong preference.

We could end up with Fox, Isaac, Jackson, or Tatum at 5. Shoot, maybe even Smith.

Lonzo isnt really a tier better than those guys, and he comes with a Lavar.

 

[Kingsfan23]

They were never moving that 10. If the Kings trade up to 2 it will be for taking Deng or Clarkson or both. But I don't see it

 

[ParniValjak]

Excellent!

 

[jcwkings]

Fox at 5 looks likely by the day. Celtics apparently like Tatum which means Suns would be giddy to have Jackson slide. If Celtics go Jackson i still think they go Tatum or Isaac before Fox. I am happy with Fox, Jackson or Tatum. Then BPA at 10. Which could me Monk, Smith Jr or Ntilikina.

I don't want to say that declining the laker's offer is common sense but it seems like common sense and the sacramento kings are an oxymoron

I feel like Perry is using Professor Xavier levels of mental powers to hold back the temptations of knee jerk moves.

With all the chaos in the NBA landscape currently, are we truly a beacon for rational thinking now?

One of the key questions about the franchise for me now is Perry's say in personnel. He had a lot of say in the work out videos, including the recap. I guess we will see

 

[Tetsujin]

Vlade remembers: NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HELP THE LAKERS

 

[DesertFox]

Seems like a fair value, but considering the players and rebuilding situation, I'd rather have the 2 picks.

I hope you didn't just jinx us.....

I might be wrong, but the fact that the other team was the Lakers might have played a factor. For all we know, Vlade might have done the trade with Philly (now Boston) for #3 but not for essentially the same pick when it's a division rival. I think the same logic applied to trading Boogie. Reports were that the Lakers really wanted him, but there was little chance the Kings were gonna consider it, IMO.

Who knows for sure though.

You. Do. NOT. Trade. With. The. Fakers.

@TaxMan

If it turns out I have that kind of power, I promise to use it for good going forward.

Fox vs Ball for years hopefully
