With the 5th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings select.......

Frank Ntilikina from Strasbourg, France and Ixelles, Belgium.

Just softening the shock in case this happens.

Thank you Vlade.

I feel like the Kings made a move by not making a move. Positive vibes right now.

Do the Kings have a particular player in mind? If so, would taking Luol Deng to exchange the #5 pick for the #2 pick be a bad trade?

Kings like Fox and Jackson. With no PG' s currently on the roster PG is their biggest need, so Fox is the perfect fit. Odds are Fox falls to 5 so there isn't a real need to move up.... but for fun I'd want

Hey Chad Ford about that tweet a few weeks ago....

Love the fact that not only was it proved wrong but immediately after that fraud said it multiple sources came to our defense. That is organizational strength right there.

I've never noticed this many moves before a draft. Is my memory playing tricks on me?

L.Galloway just declined his player option making him a free agent .

More Kings cap space now

IMO it would be a bad trade for us. Think closer to #10/Malachi for #2/Deng would be closer. Lakers wouldn't like it, but that's ok, it's what it would take for LA to keep a decent pick and get rid of Deng.

Hell, I'd even say Affalo instead of Galloway.

Lol. I truly don't think Vlade would do that, but I would be slightly mad. Why not just trade down and get him later? I mean, I am a huge Ntilikina fan, but I don't think he has the upside that Fox, Jackson, Smith, and Ball have. I think of him highly, though, so I think he is on a tier with Isaac and Tatum.

This is just shocking. I mean, it's fantastic news for the Kings but I was certain that he was going to opt in. Fantastic news. Just to be official, here is a link:

Wow, I'm pretty happy about Galloway opting out. Great guy, but not someone I want eating up salary or minutes. Thanks Langston!

And you really think we are gonna use that 5 mil haha...I would have like to see how he did with a yr under Joeger's teaching. Obviously he disagreed.

I didn't care to see Galloway develop here. Nothing personal, just didn't see a long term relationship.

I would love if our draft went like this:
1. Fultz
2. Ball
3. Tatum
4. Isaac
5. Josh Jackson
6. De'Aaron Fox

3 team trade
Orlando receives: 10th and 15th picks
Sacramento receives: 6th pick, Evan Turner
Portland receives: trade exception, clear bad contract

34th pick: Caleb Swanigan
Trade Koufos to get another 2nd rounder to get Frank Mason III
I would also love to take another bad contract for a late 1st to grab Ojeleye or someone, but I won't add that to my depth chart

PG: De'Aaron Fox/ Frank Mason III
SG: Buddy Hield/ Bogdan Bogdanovic
SF: Josh Jackson/ Garrett Temple
PF: Skal Labissiere/ Caleb Swanigan
C: Willie Cauley-Stein/ George Papagiannis

I know, I speculate a lot. I'm just so excited for the draft!

Judging by how expensive it was to clear cap by the Lakers and Hawks, I am thinking that the Blazers are getting off too easy here. The Kings are fine, but I think #26 needs to be involved. I would say it needs to go to either Orlando straight up or have it go to the Kings with #34 going to Orlando. This is the type of trade we need to be looking for though.

Edit: also, Evan Turner would most certainly be getting minutes on the team. He would definitely have to be on your depth chart.

I'm not too crazy about Evan Turner. Maybe we can extend the trade to get Deng and the 28th? He'd be a lot more useful to the Lakers than old Deng, so maybe it would be worth it for them to give up something to do the swap. Their salaries are nearly identical and Deng has fallen off a cliff while Turner is technically in his prime.
