Ok, we've debated for months on the draft, make your prediction now.

After tonight, DJ Augustin will be a King

DJ Augustin.

If not him, I suspect Darrell Arthur, or it means we moved down.

If we move up, Bayless.

If we move down, Hibbert.

If we stand pat and DJ isn't available, BPA.

If we stand pat and DJ is available, DJ Augustin.

if we move up, eric gordon
if we move down, darrell arthur
if we stay, DJ Augustin

If we move up, Bayless.

If we move down, Hibbert/Greene.

If we stand pat and DJ/Bayless/Gordon isn't available, Hibbert.

If we stand pat and DJ/Bayless/Gordon is available, Bayless (or any of the three that are still there).

The point of the thread was to predict whether we would make any trades or not

I don't think we'll make any trades and at the end of the day Augustin will be a King.

UP: Eric Gordon/Kevin Love
Same: Augustine/Alexander/Arthur
Down:Arthur/Hibbert

It would be either:

DJ Augustine
Darrell Arthur
Roy Hibbert

Or:
Bayless
Gallinari
Gordon

But ultimately its:
DJ Augustine

If the RJ to the Bucks goes down like ESPN radio is saying, I think Alexander could easily fall to us now...as much as I would rather not have him. I would like to trade down (making a team who is in love with him overpay) and take Chalmers/Hibbert/Greene.

If we move up: DJ
If we move down: Hibbert
If we stand pat: Arthur or DJ if he slips..

Joe Alexander will be a king...if Artest does opt out like hs is not saying alexander would be a great fit for this team...and he will be there at 12. Id still like to see the kings try to move salmons to phoenix for the 15th pick and draft someone like brandon rush. If they could pick augustine and 12, then rush at 15, id like that alot.

Ron's not gonna opt out, and I DOUBT Alexander's gonna last to 12. I'm not that high on Rush, and we've already got a SG.

After tonight, a relatively agile big man that can play defense/rebound will be a King

At least that's how it should go.

Yep, I think we will get a good one with one of our 2nd round picks

Apparently the Spurs are thinking about trading their 26th pick if Batum is not available to them. Maybe our 2 2nd picks for their 26th? We could pick DJ (if available at 12) and then go with Jason Thompson/Ryan Anderson with the 26th pick. I would be happy with that

In this order:

DJ
Arthur
Speights

Nah, Portland and Minnesota can both offer much better "2 2nd rounder" deals.

Could well be.

But I'm not ruling it out higher than that, nor do I think it's legitimate to do so. I think the likelyhood of picking a perimeter player and big man are similar.

Overall, this draft is a crap-shoot for us.

After 6 picks, I'm predicting Bayless falls to us...

DAMN IT DAMN IT
