why trade with knicks/warriors/boston/min etc.. when you can get a top 4 pick (where in the star potential players are still there.. with an early 31st pick.. get claver etc. dump jarics contract for an expiring this year.. be a big player in the 2010 free agency)

a possible sign and trade of 4th and diogu could work too...


i dont think memphis has the power here.. ANY TEAM not named Sac rubio could bail and play in europe till his rookie rights expire. that buy out, fegan etc...


Hahaha. Too complicated and predicated on the Grizz targeting Diogu in particular. I'd actually really love to see Ike back if we get Rubio or Evans. Both have great potential in the pick and roll or drive and dish and Ike would be fantastic next to either. I'm still super high on Diogu coming back here, he could be a nice and unexpected cherry on what was otherwise a negative season.

My prediction would be the #4, #23, and #31 for #2 and #27. Another thing to remember is if the Grizz like another player, they are going to want that player. Sometimes it's best to just take the guy you want, or your 2nd choice depending on fit, because you don't want to lose out on that player.

IF Curry's workout goes well, I could see Geoff taking him. He fits into the type of player that Geoff would love to take.

However, I could also see Harden being the pick. It really seems like Geoff may not be that happy with the possible point guards.

That or he likes them all and still needs to have another look?

It appears Flynn is the closest the Kings have to a front-runner, with his leadership skills and reputation as a physical and traditional point guard among his most popular traits. The question, though, is whether the Kings would take him at No. 4 or pull the trigger on a deal to move down to get him and acquire additional assets.

If Rubio is out, supposedly, Flynn is the next guy on the Kings draft board. Thoughts?

Interesting that Thabeet refuses to work out for us. I wonder if that means he has a promise? One could guess that it's because of Spencer, but then you'd think he'd be against going into a situation with Marc Gasol.

Yeah, I think this is the same situation that most prospects refuse to workout for Portland.

There are players that will be ahead in the roster depth charts!

Thabeet views Sacramento as not receiving enough playing time behind Hawes and Thompson IMO.

Or maybe a promise like you said.

I smell a top 3 promise.

Return to Sacramento Kings
