Bender and Chriss were drafted a long time ago. We didn’t even have Josh back then.

I’d be perfectly happy moving Bender and Chriss now, but I am not building around them. They are role players, and if we don’t extend them, that’s on them.

If I’m appeasing anyone with this pick, it’s not Igor. It’s Booker. This is a very long term play, and we have to look at it that way. Who we pick here (hopefully) can determine our trajectory for 20 years.

I don’t want Doncic and Booker sharing the ball. I want Ayton. However, I’m going to watch some more Doncic for fun. I’ll let y’all know if I change my mind.

What! Bender and Chriss are still not 21. I am not dumping either of them and want to see them play with a new coach, a legit offense and a real group of playmakers.

Have you watched the Warriors recently? They have several playmakers. I see the same thing happening with the threesome of Doncic, Booker and Jackson. In the end, someone has to get the ball to Ayton. Who is that person that we have on the current roster. The teams with the best playmakers are usually the ones playing in June.

Also who are you going to get to replace Bender and Chriss for what they are going to cost next year. If the crap the bed next year, then it probably will be the time to move on.

I just have not identified any legit veterans available that I would want next year.

Booker is a good enough playmaker.

I don’t know. A free agent. I want to conserve cap space until we sign the best possible players. If Bender and Chriss don’t start making consistent contributions in the next.....three years, I have no problem trading them for contributors. The future is Doncic/Booker or Booker/Ayton. Everyone else is optional.

It will be hard to fight the Warriors fire with fire. Ayton will be the wildcard in the equation in which he is going to create problems for GS if they decide to stick with that Hampton 5.

On defense, Ayton actually has very good lateral quickness in which he'll be able to defend at the perimeter. I saw KD destroy Capela and Nene there but I would be bold to say that Ayton may actually pose a greater challenge if he ends up in that switch.

On the positive, we wouldn't have to worry about that matchup for years. Hopefully they are broken up by then.

It isn't out of the realm of possibility that we offer the Kings a grandaddy deal to get Doncic and pair him with Ayton, Booker, Jackson and Igor...Or is it?

#16, PHX 2019 1st (protected 1-3), MIA unprotected, Chriss or Bender...Too much, not enough?

Not realistic I suspect but we can dream

Definitely worth a shot with Divac. Kings will be tanking again this season.

Kings don't have their pick next year. Boston will get another high pick (but in a supposedly weaker draft)

I cant keep up with this madness!

[bigfoot]

Majerle, Warren, Davis, Booker ... oh yeah

Time to take this celebration back to the Draft Thread!

anyone seen what DeAndre said on instagram? basically confirmed hes going phoenix.

It doesn't

No one knows which way McD is going to go. The hope before the lottery today was that it would be an Ayton, Doncic, maybe another guy. Now that we have the #1 pick, these guys can be a reality if we choose. But again, no one knows. Not Gambo, not Fox, not Ayton, not Doncic.
