lol at Kayte & Jim rationalizing the anti-tank move in the post-game

[RIPskaterdude]

Haha...I don't think we'll be that low but that is both Bridges, Wendell Carter, Kevin Knox and Collin Sexton range.

And just when Bagley was starting to grow on me...sorry SacKingZZZ

You don't think we'll be that low? Uh, we are 6th with 22 wins and the Knicks have 24.

They are in 9th.

Yeah, I think Brooklyn, Dallas and Orlando will struggle to lose ALL their games in this last stretch just like us. Plus I think Chicago wins a few more of their last stretch than expected as well. I think we'll be between 5-7 as usual.

5 to 7 in a spot, and it takes is one or two teams to jump us and suddenly we are almost out of top 10. That would be a disaster.

Or just business as usual

[Lost in LA]

Management AWOL and confused

Dude, I didn't realize things are this in the balance. The Kings play the Hawks, the Mavs, the Lakers, the Suns, and the Grizzlies before the end of the year.

And we will win all of those games

So let's be honest, what player can we get at 9 in the draft?

Haha...I don't think we'll be that low but that is both Bridges, Wendell Carter, Kevin Knox and Collin Sexton range.

And just when Bagley was starting to grow on me...sorry SacKingZZZ

Two of my favs in the draft are Miles Bridges and Kevin Knox. I wouldn't be crying too many tears. That is unless they drafted Carter or Sexton over them. I think both have some nice scoring potential but the fits are obviously precarious.

I think Carter game is nice and far more developed than Knox at this point. I think Bridges and Carter are the same in that their floor is high and ceiling is lower than some of the other guys. They'll both be productive players while I think Knox will take a few years to grow into his NBA body and develop Pro habits and confidence. I don't want Sexton.

If I had to rate the 4 in terms of who I want it would be Carter, Bridges, Knox and then Sexton.

Haha...RIP's world is burning! Call 911.

[RIPskaterdude]

But hey, at least vlade will be fired next year after we throw the max at randle or Aaron Gordon, and still finish in the top 10....without a pick.

Just seen this movie too many times. We can't just tank from start to finish. Lakers do it and are already full of promising kids with tons of cap space. Why can't we just have one top 3 pick?

[benchmobbin02]

That is what ISN'T happening.

FO and Owners all know this is a long term build.

When Fox made that clutch shot, the camera panned to Vlade and his facial look was lukewarm.

With no pick next year?

[kingjawn100]

I can talk myself into Bagley. It seems weird to say but aside from perimeter defense there’s really nothing WCS does better than Bagley. We can see if drafting Bagley lights a fire in WCS in his contract year. Unfortunately if we’re picking at 7 or higher i doubt he’ll be there.

One thing to note..i doubt Lebron (assuming he stays in cleveland) lets Trae Young slide by them. Sounds like he’s a huge fan and it may actually help convince him to stay. That in theory could help a center slip to us.

No idea of draft order obviously but some good guesses going as far as draft...

1. Ayton
2. Doncic
3. JJJ or Bamba
Cavs. Young

If Porter really struggles friday in the tournament i can definitely see him slipping to 7/8

Yes, with no pick next year. We already know there is no 1st pick in 2019. We will be entering the next phase by 2019 IMO.

Vlade' thoughts:

"Looks like I'll need to scout the Bridges brothers"

At least the win came from the young guys. We’ve learned that Fox is freaking clutch.

Hopefully Doug Christie has his ear, in the pregame the other day it sounded like DC was a big fan of both and especially Miles.
