[Woot!]

MON-TE! MON-TE! MON-TE!

 

[Rain man]

[HoggLife]

Kings pick was in FAST

 

[Tetsujin]

I WANTED RUBIO WTF

 

[Sac.Kings]

Lmao

 

[gunks]

Well, that was.... underwhelming.

Not that I hate the pick, I was just expecting more action haha

 

[Tetsujin]

The Pistons are exploring opportunities to trade down from No. 5, sources said. A lot of interest in Jaden Ivey still remaining on the board.

Turns out the Pistons don't want Ivey either?

I beat Tetsujin bot. He can have them now.

We affectionately call them TetsuBot.™

 

[funkykingston]

Well that was anticlimactic. . .

 

[kb02]

Middle manager makes the most middle manager decision. EVER. SMH.

 

[Telemachus]

I WANTED RUBIO WTF

No. I wanted John Wallace.

 

[Krunker]

I like Murray but was kind of hoping for an amazing trade

 

[Tetsujin]

No. I wanted John Wallace.

WHY DID WE TAKE FOX WHEN DSJ WAS RIGHT THERE?!

 

[fansinceday1]

IMO, the kings aren’t maximizing this pick. I would have thought they could have turned 4 into some serious payment

 

[Tetsujin]

Purdue's Jaden Ivey is landing at No. 5 for the Detroit Pistons, source tells ESPN.

I guess trading down for Murray would have been a bad idea.

 

[Noble]

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

6'6 in shoes with a a 6'9 wingspan. Not the most ideal wingspan for a 3, but he's got great agility to make a defensive impact in other ways

If the Grant trade is any indication, it's a real buyers market right now.

 

[Folsomkingsfan]

Stupid pick

 

[Rob-The-Great]

Man come one

 

[SacTownKid]

Well Monte, this is a decision that will make or break your career as a GM.

 

[krylia sovetov]

yes!

Apparently not. They probably didn't see an offer they liked, so they took the guy they wanted anyway.

 

[Entity]

I’m good with Keegan

If Murray was BPA and talk of Murray to Detroit true, right move. They would have lost him.

 

[SacTownKid]

Yep, gutsy move for a GM heading into his final year. I respect it.

Love the Murray pick
