Got to either be Ball or Tatum at 3 then right?

I suppose Ball could play off-ball with Simmons if his catch n shoot numbers match up. Tatum would be a bad fit IMO.

I mean.. I'm not a huge believer that Ball is a franchise player, but at 3, he's probably the BPA. I think he's probably a much better fit than Tatum for Philly.

Agreed I'd vote Ball over Tatum for Philly at 3. Is there any chance for Monk? Hard to imagine both Isaac and Monk creeping into top 4, right?

Yea... I don't think they'd go Monk... but I didn't think Noel would be traded for peanuts from Philly either. That would be pretty shocking, I view Monk like a smaller Jamal Crawford, or maybe Lou Williams... I would be shocked if he went #3, and I think they'd really regret it.

So, we can pick Tatum or Fox? Great! But if we need to chose between them, it will be very difficult:)

Isaac has worked out for Phoenix twice and now says he won't work out for any teams outside of the top 4. Hmmm, promise from Phoenix? How does this shake up the draft?

Sent from my SM-J700T using RealGM mobile app

Hopefully for his sake someone isn't using him for smoke purposes. I think Isaac with the Suns would be the best possible location for him. They could put him, Chriss, and Bender on that front line at the same time and have a very unique combo. I know they were trying to spin Bender at SF last year but I think they should send him the other way and see if he can get a bit bigger and play center. He ain't scaring anyone at SF but as a athletic stretch C he could be nightmare.

Not sure it does much. Philly holds the cards here. There seems to be traction to Jackson at 2, so maybe Philly takes ball and Phoenix takes Isaac? It's seeming more and more likely that fox or Ball are there at 5 (if philly goes Tatum and Phoenix goes Isaac in the above scenario)

Ah yes, the cards are being laid out. For Kings fans to feel the typical unbelievable disappointment when Fox is taken at number 2.

I don't believe all of it BUT it's fun to speculate instead of talking about the same scenarios

Funny, I was actually just saying the other day I felt like Isaac would be a good fit at 4 for Phoenix. I think they go with one of the 3s, Jackson, Tatum or Isaac but with Jackson likely not being there I think there's a real shot they could go for Isaac. They already have TJ Warren who is a scoring three and Tatum, while better and having more potential, would be sort of a redundant piece at the SF spot. I don't think Phoenix should avoid taking Tatum for this reason but I can see why they might want Isaac. Also like SacKingZZZ said, Isaac/Chriss/Bender could be a very interesting lineup.

Edit: Phoenix also has some solid scoring pieces already and need to look to add some defenders which they don't really have. Chriss is probably their best young defender but even he's not elite on that side of the ball.

I believe it is critical that management takes advantage of our cap space and acquire picks in either this draft or next years - hopefully this years. It is pretty loaded. If we could pick at 5, 10 and then somewhere in the late teens/early 20's that would be awesome. Maybe even a 2nd pick in the late teens/early 20s

Today Woj said this rumor isnt true, Kings have no interest in trading both picks.

There is no new information to this rumor. It's just a reporter bumping the rumor after Woj said it's not happening.

you get that from this?

We’ve heard this countless times before, but league sources keep saying the Sacramento Kings are seriously considering packaging picks No. 5 and 10 in a trade for the 76ers' No. 3 in the June 22 draft.

This reported package had been previously denied. However, it keeps resurfacing.

The hilarious thing about the 5+10 for 3 rumor is that Sixers fans are almost universally for it and nearly EVERYONE else--from Kings fans to Woj--are both against it and say the value is way off.

I'd imagine the Kings would consider using 5+10 to move up, but there better be a whole lot more coming back than 3.

[City of Trees]

I do believe the Kings interest in drafting Fox or Jackson is real.
