The Official SPOILERS 2022 NBA Draft Thread

[SacTownKid]

They’re aiming even lower than that. They want Brunson lmao Knick fans are fuming

I think I'm giving them too much credit but I think it's a smokescreen. haha. If the Knicks trade draft talent for that, oh boy, the Kings and Knicks should just merge into the Knings.

If the Kings go BPA at 37, they should take Jaylin Williams (if he's avail). Then trade Holmes, Len, and Jones.

Raptors finally grab a big.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

the point is Monte takes limited risk. For example we likely could have traded 4 for 5 and Grant but probably held out for Bey and got nothing. Yet another failed trade for Monte.

and maximum risk = Bagley over Doncic

but also not picking the "consensus" guy at 4 is low risk and middle management even though it would seemingly also put his job in jeopardy if he whiffs.

I am pretty sure Kings GM job is no-win no matter what with some of y'all

I’d hang onto jones but he is free agent I believe but he looked good

No, dude. It's not who Monte picked. It's a failure to squeeze additional assets after getting gifted the #4 pick.

DAMN. Besides Ron Harper Jr, all my second round targets are gone.

Well I missed all the fun on the forum, but got to watch the pick. What’s the temperature in the room?

Welcome to the world of being an undersized 4/5 tweener. I'm all for it though. I still like Eric Paschall.

 

[SacTownKid]

And having one of your potential targets go to a direct rival. So far, the Kings path to 7/10 is much tougher than it was 1 week ago.

Liddell Procida Keels Brown.
Liddell dropping this far is wild

We shall see if Monte corners the market on that coveted PF slot in this draft. In before the stocks rise!!! haha.

Wondering if there is a medical issue with Liddell.

 

[209king]

Man I don’t know, I feel like this was the draft where moving up didn’t really help up since I feel like pistons and pacers got steals in ivey and mathurin and we didn’t leverage our position knowing we didn’t want ivey.

I hope Murray is the guy and I’m wrong we passed on bpa…. I don’t think our fan base can take much more… this place is gonna be a ghost town if Murray is a bust and ivey blows up

Oh they’re far worse than we are. No thanks!

50/50 odds Jalen and Jalyin will have better careers than Keegan and #37.

I think we go sg/sf

Don’t think Bagley was his pick. Also I haven’t criticized the pick and said it wasn’t low risk. This pick is definitely a wait and see pick and we desperately need wings.

I did say pro and con this pick is likely to define Monte given he went against the grain. I’m not a Monte fan but not against this pick.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

No, dude. It's not who Monte picked. It's a failure to squeeze additional assets after getting gifted the #4 pick.

which assumes Detroit didn't want Murray or wouldn't have picked him if we picked Ivey. Murray was obviously our guy and was going top 5 I ain't mad. y'all are ridiculous. I wanted a haul too but I still wanted the right player first and foremost.

I mentioned this in Bajas thread awhile back, he fits the profile of the classic undrafted type. Where teams just let him slip, and slip and slip. Naz Reid style. In this draft he should at least get a 2nd round look though, it's not nearly deep enough.

So many guys available.

I was speaking in general about Bagley because to me picking Ivey would be closer to picking Bagley than picking Murray was. You're buying into untapped potential rather than what you already see.
