The Official SPOILERS 2022 NBA Draft Thread

[Tetsujin]

C) Reporters from Sacramento have not been able to ask the front office any questions “kings are considered top secret”. There usually aren’t any leaks.

D) Knicks want to get it done but the biggest threat seems to be Thunder to trade up or to Detroit to take him at 5. #Knicks

Knicks fan media convinced this is happening

I have never seen anything like the 2022 NBA Draft No. 1 overall pick odds movement in my life. This is absolutely crazy.

— Sam Vecenie (@Sam_Vecenie) June 23, 2022

The potential for fraud with these types of bets are immense. Hence why I would never play it.

If the Kings do, indeed, move down to 11 and stay there, I think they'll draft Sochan or Jalen Williams.

I feel like the only people who bet on the NBA draft (especially a year like this one) are degenerates who probably need actual help lol

Pretty much. I mean, I would do it if I was on some crazy roll. Would just throw $ at the pick with the biggest odds and if I lost, so what.

Latest from Marc Stein:
- Pistons making Ayton a priority, word is Ayton would embrace chance to play w/ Cade
- Hawks determined to find Collins trade, mentions Kings but not Spurs.
- Former Spurs assistant Will Hardy made strong impression w/ Jazz for head coach. pic.twitter.com/E11IowR5uv

Thread title changed. This will be the main draft thread.

 

[Tetsujin]

Gonna go to sleep now. If the Kings trade up in the next couple of hours or trade the pick for Lebron, you’re welcome.

What would the Cavs have to offer for Murray?

In the follow-up to this day in Kings History, I got confused how the Kings picked a player at #22 that ended up so much worse than Marco Belinelli.

Vlade was like a dog chasing fire trucks. Dude would find ways to inexplicably accumulate draft capital and then find new spectacular ways to absolutely squander it.

Ha! Perfect analogy. Didn't know what to do with it once he actually caught the truck. Which he did quite often.

While I'd love to hear a trade announced, I am happy that I have confidence Monte will not be getting swindled in a deal. Either he gets a great deal, a fair deal, or no deal at all.

Yay stein boo amick

 

[Tetsujin]

Chet Holmgren, according to most draft analysts, has the highest superstar upside in this draft.

Woj says OKC landing Holmgren at #2 tonight is "increasingly firm."

[Livinthedream]

Listening to Amick tell it, sounds like the Kings are leaning Murray because of fit. They were not coming into this draft ready to take another guard.

If true, just trade the pick.

 

[MeddlingKid]

I have this strange feeling OKC goes Ivey at #2 and we take Chet at #4.

 

[Letsgokings13]

I swear fit better not be the main reason

 

[Letsgokings13]

That's how I've been feeling as well.

 

[MeddlingKid]

It's possible Monte thinks Murray is BPA over Ivey at 4. If the Spurs interest is to be believed, we wouldn't be the only ones.

 

[twslam07]

I'm entitled to one crazy #4 trade idea that would put us in title contender talks. Here you go...

De'Aaron Fox
Richaun Holmes
Justin Holiday
Davion Mitchell
Mo Harkless
Alex Len
Trey Lyles
Chimezie Metu
#4
2023 SAC 1st (Unprotected)
2025 SAC 1st (Unprotected)

For

Kevin Durant
Kyrie Irving

-----------------------------------------

PG - Fox / Mitchell / Mills
SG - Curry / Thomas
SF - Harris / Holiday / Harkless
PF - Simmons / Lyles / Metu
C - Holmes / Claxton / Sharpe / Len
Picks - #4

PG - Irving
SG - DiVincenzo / Davis
SF - Barnes
PF - Durant
C - Sabonis
Picks - #37 / #49

If true, just trade the pick.

Straight up, I wish we just stayed at seven. I hate everything.

 

[Kingster]

It goes against BPA doctrine, and so far McNair hasn't deviated.

 

[Kingster]

I have this strange feeling OKC goes Ivey at #2 and we take Chet at #4.

I want you to go into a meditative state and alter your feelings. Start feeling that Ivey goes #2 and Holmgren goes to Houston, leaving Banchero for the Kings.

 

[Letsgokings13]

It's possible Monte thinks Murray is BPA over Ivey at 4. If the Spurs interest is to be believed, we wouldn't be the only ones.

And that is A-ok. As long as he truly feels he is BPA and the fit is just the cherry on top.
