You mean Sactown? If that's the case Sactown is grossly incompetent, since they'd do better to pretend they're interested, creating doubt about the player they really want.

I think it's weird we'd make a promise to a guy that doesn't seem to have a workout scheduled with our team, but the Dunlap decision wasn't expected either.

Sorry, but we've seen this before, and it seems clear Barnes thinks he's going top 4, otherwise he'd have no reason to cancel... which almost certainly means he's going top 4. The Hornets are out, and the Cavs and Wizards seem long shots in light of the noises coming out of there... that leaves you guys...

Guys cancel workouts for lots of reasons, like he couldn't make the flight or something. I'm not reading any more into it than necessary.

I think that Beal is still 18 too? At least for another month or something?

And Drummond is even younger but that works against him for some reason. :lol:


Gilchrist is the youngest person in the draft.

I stand corrected. Drummond not playing in the McD game keeps throwing me off.

There's like a two month difference. Does it really matter?

Of course it doesn't. Was just stating a fact.

Yes, Drummond is young and immature and we don't have the time to develop whereas MKG is a winner and go-getter who has all the time in the world to turn into the NBA's next great SF.

Why don't we have time? Sucking is sucking, I think we have all of the time in the world.

I think the poll should be reset too in the new thread. I think it would be interesting to see what it would do if we restarted without all the random fans coming in and voting and never coming back to change it or if they do come back maybe their vote will be different after combine and some workouts.

It would appear that Beal, MKG, Barnes and Robinson have all shut their workouts down and NONE of them have worked out for the Kings.............
