Yeah, i read that teams drafting high are scared s***less to draft guys without seeing medicals. They want to make sure EVERYTHING is structurally sound so you wont go down 2 years down the line. Like it is a really big deal.
Also kinda funny, When Luka told the media that he wasnt sure if this was his last season in the Euroleague, people tried to brush it off as him being polite and saying the right thing to the media when he was put on the spot, yet the Kings FO had a sit down with Duffy at the Combine in private and still didnt get any kind of answer, instead telling the media person who reported it that they would "Circle back with him at a later date". No need for Duffy to be polite for fans (Specially when none are there) or "Save face in the media" when none were present. SOunds like to me they got the brush off. This was a day or two before the report that they wernt so high on him and were really liking Porter Jr. I wonder if they got the impression from Duffy that he wouldnt be in Sactown, and the report of them not being high on him and liking someone else more is to save face with the rest of the league along with their fans. Like we didnt draft him because we liked Porter better, not because he wouldnt player here because our town/organization sucks.
That's what I took as the reason for all this Doncic falling talk. Teams aren't going to take a chance with a guy who may not come over if he doesn't like who he's drafted by. With all the 'connections' Sactown have to the European game (Peja, Divac, Bogdan) and a clear need for an elite secondary initiator, if Doncic still doesn't want to go there, I wonder if the Slovenian equivalent of the word dumpster fire is what he thinks of them lol
Sounds like something Kerrsed made up, although I’d love for the user to provide a link to whatever he’s saying.
All reports from Doncic/Duffy in English and Slovenian that I’ve read have either been positive or non committal.
The Suns organization has been a dumpster fire, and I’d much rather live in Sacramento than barren Phoenix, but that’s not what this board should be for. No need to attack other orgs, Kings fans have had their fill of this
You know what, props on you, and i apologize wholeheartedly! I was wrong, and thanks for bringing it to my attention (I went to look for my source for the info and saw i was wrong).
It was actually the Hawks that sat down with Duffy, not the Kings.
From my post 2 days ago in the Conspiracy Thread:

With that as the backdrop, Hawks GM Travis Schlenk was prompted about Doncic on Tuesday as part of an interview with 92.9 The Game in Atlanta and he started by indicating that Atlanta is looking to “get a read” on Doncic’s status. (via KL Chouinard of Hawks.com) “I had a chance to sit down with his agent last week in Chicago and try to get a read on the situation, and his agent obviously was flying over to the (EuroLeague) Final Four in Belgrade. He’ll get back to the States this weekend and we’re going to circle back with him.” – via Peachtree Hoops
So the Hawks GM sat down with Duffy at the combine to find out what the deal is with Doncic (If he was coming over this season), and im assuming wasnt told yes or no since he speaks about getting ahold of Duffy this weekend (After Doncic's playoff win) to find out.
So sure, you can say Doncic was just being polite to the media when asked if he was coming to the NBA, but for his agent to not give an answer to a potential suitor with a high draft pick......makes you think......
Once again, i sincerely apologize. So much info everywhere and trying to keep up with everything and reposting it, it can get a bit confusing sometimes. It was the Hawks, not the Kings.
