2 players?

I still think taking a smaller guard to pair with Tyreke will hurt us on the defensive side of the ball. That's far from ideal IMO. It negates most of Tyreke's size advantage. If we grab a bigger guard, then at least they'll be a bit more interchangeable.

That said, I do like Brooks' game and his value has taken a dip as of late.

As for building our team, we have a decent core, and I'm fine with whatever way we decide to build out our team. Though winning sooner rather than later might help us with getting that damn arena the city so desperately needs. Trading for an all-star caliber player will probably help to speed that along.

[Wolfay]

I do not like Brooks. Too small, can't defend and he's rather streaky.

[SacTownKings4Life]

First pick? Yeah right. Wake me up when you find out what the mathematically WORST possible pick is for us. That will be our draft position like it has been for the past 2 years...

[KF10]

I don't like Brooks here's why:

-He is small.
-Not a good defender.
-Questionable shot selection.
-Overconfident of his offensive skill.

Brooks is the type of player that does not care what type of shots he's throwing as long he gets "his": transition 3s, going one on one, pull up in front of defender etc. He tends to have a tunnel vision when he thinks it's "his turn" to shoot. Sure, he has some positives: quickness, 3PT range, surprisingly effective offensive talent. Not saying Brooks is a bad player but I think his negatives overshadows most of his positives every night.

Pairing him with Evans would be bad. Evans would choke the hell out of Brooks if he ignores him repeatedly when he demands the ball back

If Oden becomes a FA this summer do you think the Kings will be interested? Do they take a risk and pair him up with Cousins?

A Cousins & Oden frontcourt would be almost godly.

Should the Kings roll the dice on Oden despite having his knees giving out multiple of times? I mean, he is still young (22?), he still can be a nice contributor for some teams.

Imagine Oden being healthy in Sacramento! No team in the NBA would mess with us! haha

reke/dmc + terrence jones = scary young big 3

terrence jones is beast on both ends

The only problem is that Oden and Cousins is probably too big and not quick enough to consistently guard the quicker PF's. Daly can get by because he's athletic enough on most nights. Oden as a 25 minute backup like he was in Portland would be nice though!

I always imagine how good is Oden if he manages to stay healthy. Right before he goes down with an injury every year, you see a glimpse of how a dominating figure in the paint Oden is.

The only problem is that, how much the Kings are willing to pay for Oden's services? I'm pretty sure Oden & his agent are smart enough to not demand $10+ million per year type of offer.

I like T.Jones as well. I feel we need 3 players this summer to help our 9 player rotation.

Evans
Cousins
Casspi
Udrih
Dalembert
JT

upgrade Landry, Pooh, Greene. We need a PF, SF, and PG.

PF- West, Green, Nene, (ETO), Z.Randolph, Sulinger (r)
SF- W.Chandler, Prince, Battier, T.Jones (r)
PG- Brooks, M.Williams (ETO), Irving (r), Walker (r), Knight (r)

The truth is we have a lot of options if we are willing to spend. I personally would love to grab a combination of West, Chandler, Irving

I honestly wouldn't take the risk unless it was for dirt cheap. He can't stay healthy and nothing hurts a big mans game more than bum knees.

As evidenced all too well with C-Webb

I agree with the last except I don't see us getting Irving. I don't think he's going to come out of college this year and, even if he did, unless the Wizards got the first pick, I think Irving will go number 1 overall. BUT, it's obviously too early to call that. What about Doron Lamb too? (another Kentucky freshman), but from what I've seen Lamb seems really underrated because he plays with Knight and Jones and it seems to me that Lamb is a better shooter than Knight is.

With the lack of numerous big name free agents, I'd offer him 8 a year, but only with a termination option for the Kings in year two of a multi-year deal. Just don't know how he'd fit.

Dude, KU has quietly assembled a really talented and stacked team. DeAndre Liggins is another really talented guy finally getting some time after a few years in college. Not a real focus but he's got some real skill.

I think you mean UK, but speaking of KU, does anyone know if Josh Selby is going into the draft after this year...? But yeah, I agree with you about Liggins. That's what John Calipari is all about. Getting great freshman recruits for a year and shipping them off to the NBA. (Even though Liggins is Jr. they have 3 starting freshman in Jones, Knight and Lamb).

[SacKingZZZ]

Yeah, whatever! hahaha. I'm interested to see what some of the "hyped" prospects can do the tourny this year. I think that could really solidify who goes where in the draft since there's no clear cut top 5.

This draft seems a lot more interesting for just that reason. It really seems impossible to guess (at least at this point) who's going number one. When was the last time that happened?

my boy TJ....6'9 / 245 lbs

He really seems like the ultimate tweener, a guy that can legitimately play both forward positions at a high level. I can't wait to see him in the league, for us or someone else

Hahaha just wanted to clarify. And yeah I agree. There are a lot of great prospects this year it should be a great recruiting class for the Kings.
