Jackson took over the game (and his teammate(s) are hitting their shots too). While Bridges is doing everything he can to win but his teammates are wack.

Yeah I'm sold on Bridges. If we can get him and Smith then I would be a happy man.

Kansas guards killed Michigan state guards, because of that they had no chance.

NO is starting to pick it up a little bit...a few more wins and they are out of the top 10

Lonzo Ball just had himself a game. Wow. Uh, yeah I'd trade both lotto picks for him.

They don't have the easiest remaining schedule.

Grizzlies
Rockets
Nuggets
Jazz
Mavs
Kings
Bulls
Nuggets
Nuggets
Warriors
Lakers
Blazers

At best I have them going 7-5. I'd say they lose to Grizzlies, rockets, jazz, warriors and the Nuggets at least once. That being said Dallas and Portland are playing better, Nuggets are playing good basketball. And you know the Kings are going to pour their all into winning that game, I wouldn't say it's an easy win for them.

I'd say more realistically they get 4-5 wins the rest of the season.

The only player I'd trade both picks for is Faultz

I'd trade the picks for either player but personally I favor Lonzo Ball.

76ers are gonna swap the pick with us, they will clearly have better record then us.

We have a hard remaining schedule...

3 min left and the Sixers are down to 7 players. This shouldn't end well for Philly but the Kings factor is always THE factor. Smh.

This Sixers/Magic game is one of the worst games I've seen all year. Straight up hot garbage.

Oh thank baby Jesus the Magic pulled that off!

JohnWillow · Post #357 » by **JohnWillow** » Tue Mar 21, 2017 2:08 am

maybe there is some hope that Knicks do something stupid and wins the game, Porzingis doesn't look pleased with the team, he about to go of for new career high...

The remaining schedule does not look great.

Magic and Knicks do not have many winnable games remaining.

Sixers have at least 3 winnable games remaining.

Reality is the Kings probably need to lose every game for the rest of the season to have the best chance.

Good news is NOLA remaining schedule is really good for us.

Yeah Ball just has that "it" factor. He makes his team better. He's a winner. I bet he could've scored as much as Fultz if that's what he was asked to do.

Dreamland would be Ball and Jackson. That's not going to happen. Only way to get either one would be 76ers win lottery and we win 2nd pick.

Not factoring those 2 I'd be interested in Tatum but he's likely gone before we draft.

So it comes down to Smith or Ntilikina (Fox isn't consideration for me, he can't shoot Tyreke/Elfrid mold) at PG and Isaac or Bridges at SF. Vlade needs to get all 4 in for workouts and hopefully head to head. I'm pretty much sold on Bridges over Isaac. Smith was in lead for me but Ntilikina is drawing even. That's who I'd really like to see go head to head in workout.

Throw crazy free agent money at Otto Porter and Jrue Holliday and draft either Smith or Ntilikina and Bridges.

I've read some things that say that it just isn't true. It's more that his shooting isn't called for with his team right now. He's been shooting a lot better since really taking over too. His shot looks good and he can hit off the dribble mid ranger pull ups. The truth is if he gets a consistent shot down he's got superstar potential. His athletic ability and drive game is terrific.
