The Official SPOILERS 2022 NBA Draft Thread

[D13]

ok Kings fans.

one last reminder that we'll be losers no matter what tonight according to #NBATwitter:

draft Ivey at 4: "he doesn't fit with Fox!"

draft Keegan at 4: "can't believe they passed on Ivey!"

trade down: "can't believe they gave up #4 for a trash can!"

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Ivey IS NOT.

Ivey to the Kings confirmed lol

But Sixers president Daryl Morey wants to the Blazers to do a three-team deal in order to get Gordon, sources say.

I, uh, what?

 

[Kingster]

well i mean Murray was willing his teams to win on offense and defense... like check the indiana game big10 semifinal where they are down like 15-2 to start thre game and murray just starts making plays on defense and running down the court then drilling 3's, gets em right back into it almost singlehandedly.. I think he's better at that sorta chaining together high impact plays one after the next more than Ivey who's more of like a tools guy that projects to have impact..

Do you think Murray will make the All Star team one or more times in his NBA career? Or is he a "nice" role player that will be in the league 10 years? I don't see him in the orbit of a star myself.

 

[Tetsujin]

Morey's obsession with reassembling the entire Houston Rockets roster from when he left their front office will only be sated when he trades Embiid for Robert Covington.

Morey is legit trying to put the band back together lol.

So I misread this one. Why would we not want Thybulle for that type of price?

Doc better watch his back. Mike D'Antoni apparently didn't take the Hornets job.

Because the only former Rocket we have on our team is Monte McNair.

This is a love affair only matched by that of Petrie for Salmons. The Kings aren't beating that if he's going for Gordon.

That got me, lol.

 

[Kingster]

I mean, it's unlikely but if Paolo drops to 4 he is certainly dressed the part https://t.co/uTxvXqn8S6

It's an omen.

 

[Tetsujin]

As of five minutes ago, there was nothing imminent cooking with the Wizards on the move-up-to-four front. The asking price has been too prohibitive for them, as it’s been for other teams looking to acquire Sacramento’s pick.

— David Aldridge (@davidaldridgedc) June 23, 2022

only need one stupid team to bite

 

[Kingster]

The perfect obtainable fit is Mathurin. Vivek and Monte went to his workout, yet we hear nothing else. Elite shooting, athleticism, defensive upside, off ball IQ, and can play 2-3. I've seen plenty of mocks having him as high as 5. Please Monte just get this dude.

Since when do 6'4.5" kids play the three?

 

[Turgenev]

Good convo going on right now with a scout (Drake U'U) on DLO & KC. Can rewind a bit to catch the full convo. Lines up with my views, Keegan, Ivey @ 4? Good not great. Trade down, Monte!

Was interested to hear Drake's perspective. Know he liked the Davion selection last year. But played it and just got Brendan Nunes (no offence to him, but doesn't have the same Aus connections ). Did Drake mention anyone he liked in particular?

this really is the Kingsiest suit ever Kingsed.

 

[jiimbob]

working on my 2nd cup of coffee, ready to go.

So my morning thought, if Monte really wants Collins but Atlanta is not happy with Sacramentos offer, how about 4 for 6 with Indy plus asset.
We then give Barnes, who i’ve heard has been offered, Indys asset, possibly Brogdon and we draft Murray if still available or Daniels, my preference, or even Mathurin..

So list of the worst shot selections?

Downed a cup of coffee and a Red Bull after staying up way too late posting about Sasha Vezenkov. Let's do this!

on ya. yeah I had a restless night as well. Go Sasha, what other Bulgarian has ever played in the NBA.
Im happy with several options, be great if we trade up , but keep hearing this Collins to Sac chatter so thought to put that option out.

Apparently former King Cedric Simmons took on Bulgarian citizenship to play for their national team. and Georgi Glouchkov played 49 games for the Suns in 1985-1986 so Sasha would be the third technically.

The only real new intel that hasn't been discussed here is that he heard good things about Murray's off the court demeanor. But doesn't think Murray or Ivey will be stars. Doesn't think either are needle movers. Would trade down.

The thing is that we need to hold on to the pick until we're on the clock in case something crazy happens and one of the top three guys falls to us.

Yea, I agree. If there's a move, it'll happen on the clock. We'll see.

 

[Rain man]

Yea, I agree. If there's a move, it'll happen on the clock. We'll see.

But we likely won't know for maybe up to 30-45 minutes. I don't think we will know the Kings have made a trade until the second part of the draft pick is made. So if we trade down to 11, it wouldn't be announced until there is an 11th pick announced.

Nah, Woj will leak it the second anything is finalized.

#Sources — Sacramento has final offers from New York, Indiana & Oklahoma City for pick No. 4. Sacramento will wait until they’re on the clock to make a decision to trade or keep the pick. #NBA
