NBA 2017 Draft thread. 5th pick and 10th pick.

[sdballer]

I am back from VEGAS baby . Had a ton of fun .

Anyways Willy Cauley Stein was on my flight which was cool , Said Hi & all but he was trying hard not to be noticed but some guy yelled out what the F is Willy Cauley Stein on the plane for . I think that pissed of Stein & he wouldn't take any pics with anyone .

Anyways moving on . Here is what is going on via my source :

Kings are in talks with both Boston & Phily trying to move up to the # 1 pick or #3 pick Goals are Fultz or Fox

To get the # 1 pick Kings would have to trade the # 5 pick . 10 pick + a young player likely pappa or Richardson also Koufas & Mac could be an option also

To get to the # 3 pick talks have been # 3 & Okafor for the # 5 pick our early 2nd + richardson & again Mac has been talked about .

Blazers are trying to trade a bad contract + a first rounder to teams most likely the 20th pick . They are interested in Afflalo as he could be dumped cheap to save the alot of $$$$$$$$ if that happens look for Harkless to be the player we acquire or another team does .

This draft will be crazy . I believe from what I here a ton of trades of veterans and picks will be dealt .

Also if we do not trade for the # 1 or # 3 pick we do have talks of trading back from our # 10 pick .

Kings are in a great spot to not only draft a major future star or two but to acquire future draft picks as well .
I do not expect the Kings to use any of their picks in attempts to trade for any veteran star player .

I know for a fact their is a great chance we move up in the draft . I am really excited for this coming season . I cannot wait !

Not trying to pick on you again but is your official kings source really not aware that we can't trade Ben at the draft? Seems like a basic thing for a source to know.

Maybe the source is directly Vlade.

Not as part of a draft day trade he can't.

To hear him describe his game you'd think he's an All-Star in the making

I wonder who the FO will target If the first 4 go Fultz, Fox, Jackson, Ball?

DSJ your PG of the future or Tatum the Rudy Gay replacement?

Would have to agree. I don't think he will be a bad player, however I'm not drafting him with anything lower than 16.
If he lasted over that then sure I take a look.

In terms of City of Trees question.
I think I would go Tatum and know the coaching staff will direct him the correct way.
It would be tough to pass on DSJ, but I just don't like the injury TBH. Injuries, particularly knees, I'm way too cautious with and even though I think DSJ has the potential to be a superstar (I actually think he is 1 of 2 in this draft) I don't draft him for that reason and Tatum IMO has All Star potential.

Would #15 + #20 net #10?

Would #15 + #9 net #5?

I would hope not... the Kings really need talent more than depth and the 5th pick fixes that. But they get both with the 5th and 10th.

And the drop-off from 10 to 15&20 is fairly substantial.

What I think the Kings would do is take Crabbe + 20 to give you guys some breathing room on the cap, would you do that?

[dckingsfan]

I think we are in great position with the 5th pick - Smith or Fox is going to fall to us

After assessing things I think at 5 fox is my top option wth Tatum as a close second. If Jackson is there at 5 and fox is gone, then Tatum likely went 3-4 so I'd grab Jackson.

At 10, I like Mitchell a lot. If we land Jackson and Mitchell that would be an incredible draft.

The ultimate #soKings draft order.

Yes actually he can.

The thing is there would have to be an agreement for a sign and trade to donut and the team taking him on would have to have the cap space available to absorb that.

Fran Fraschilla: The lying has begun. Do not believe a word from “sources” about which NBA teams like what players. It’s all misdirection at this point.

Bobby Marks: The ultimate smokescreen in the next 10 days.

Except you can't negotiate a trade to a new team for a free agent before the draft.

That would be awesome if a team above Sac jumped the gun on Smith. That would mean two great candidates at 5 for Sac.

[codydaze]

Apparently Josh Jackson received a promise. Could be Philly but likely Lakers as that's the only team he's worked out for so far. Could Lonzo fall to 5?
