The Official Draft Day thread

[upinsmoke]

Just when you thought the Bulls hit a pick by going Jordan Bell..they trade him to the Warriors. What?

There fan base isn't going to sleep well tonight. I can only speak for myself but I'm catching some zzzzz's. Good job Vlade.

Love Mason at 34. He mirrors IT in a lot of ways: great athleticism, shooting ability, and ball-handling, with all the intangibles you could ask for in player. I think he can be a starter in the NBA, and if nothing else a solid back-up.

The bigger question now is will Lawson or Collison return? I'm sort of doubting it - or maybe one of them at most.

Guessing Collison is gone and Kings sign Lawson on a 2 year deal at a decent price

That annoys me a bit - they get an energy guy - perfect for their team....like they needed it.

The changed D-League to The G League. Sounds stupid but D-League sounds insulting..like a bad grade.

That's why the Warriors are the Warriors.

They may lose Iguodala and yet McCaw may step up and play a bigger role.

Kings have to focus on getting good in the next few years and then competing as the Dubs fade.

Mason reminds me of Jameer Nelson, which would be one hell of a snag if he can have a similar career.

Kings young talent after tonight:

PG: Fox, Mason
SG: Hield, Bogdanovic, Richardson
SF: Jackson
PF: Skal, Giles
C: WCS, PapaG

There's a couple stars in there, I can feel it!

 

[ockingsfan]

I like how Vlade and Perry balanced out the roster with this draft!

 

[theclash4u5]

NOT happy that Bell went to the Warriors. He's exactly what they need off the bench

 

[Entity]

So vets certainly on the roster for the time being are temple, afflalo and koufos? Am I missing someone?

I'd see if we can get Beverly first, but Ty on a partial guarantee in season two wouldn't be a bad idea to consider.

They have the luxury to target an energy player.

I'd be stunned if we picked up the option on AA

Everything was ok until you mentioned Afflalo. I doubt the Kings eat his contract; not as bad as Kenny Thomas but still....

 

[kingdivac]

Where is Bogman? Is he even coming over?

 

[Entity]

Oh aa is an option? Well bye bye. So just temple and kosta. Which btw WCS is now the longest tenured king

He was one of my favorite 2nd round prospects. Maybe my overall favorite.

The big qualifier is "years". The new question now for threads is what are your reasonable expectations? Another 35 winner? Better?
I want the organization to unchain the roster, and dig for minutes for all these younger guys.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I wasn't really paying attention but why was the deputy commish busting up laughing during this last pick?

Kings are throwing the youngin's to the Wolves, well not those Wolves, but you know the how the saying goes....

So did brick do a full on bail out after cousins trade?

The goal for next season is development of the young guys.

I believe so.

 

[206Fan]

Our roster looks alright.

Fox/Mason
Hield/Bogdanovic
Jackson/Richardson
WCS/Skal/Giles
Koufos/Papagiannis

 

[Section 101]

Capt. Factorial = CF
Chad Ford = CF
i dunno...seems fishy to me. we need another mod to check into possibility of altering after the fact. haha jk.

Oh so he went back and edited his post!

He didn't post a see ya later as a few other members did, but yes.

 

[Kingster]

This will be an interesting competition between Fox and Mason. Mason won the Bob Cousey Award as the best Pt. Guard in College BB. This is a great pick.

I love the competition. Mason isn't coming to Sacto to be Fox's backup, and that's exactly the way it should be.

 

[Entity]

I believe so.

I was upset. But I had been through it before. The Webber trade hurt. The cousins trade stung. Now we are just starting over. I will grow with them.

 

[The Hammer]

I think this Mason kid might surprise people. Dude shot like 47% from three last year.
