Draft Ayton, sign LeBron. Call it an offseason.

If LeBron wants to be the GOAT he has to take the worst team in the NBA to the Finals.

Spoiler:
I hate LeBron.

So what would it take to get the number two pick from Sac? Besides our number one pick of course.

if the Suns get Luka, maxing Capela won't be the worst thing in the world

Listening to Gambo show and they're saying Doncic has a rep as a crybaby who pouts when things don't go his way. Never heard that.

Gambo is saying Doncic cries and pouts on the bench and his teammates dislike him. First I've heard that.

Gambo is a clown. Igor will handle Doncic.

Seeing as they don't have a pick next year, I doubt they will move it. They need to get this right.

OHHHH
Luka's #1 Hater says we'll draft Ayton.
Very believable.

Gambo has been really anti-Doncic for a good while. not sure can take what he says at face value

that teammates hate him is BS. he can get overly emotional though, has some hyper-competitive manic tendencies.

You think Sacramento might want to pull the ole switcheroo again?
Suns get No 2 pick.
Kings get, No 16 pick, No 31

The really sad part is we can mess this up. But enough of that. We suffered enough. Party time

Devin Booker's washing machine should do it. Divac has no idea what he's doing.

Yeah, same.....though I'm not disappointed just nervous we somehow pick the wrong guy. I am more worried about passing on Doncic because he is obviously skilled and imo is bust proof and will make everyone better immediately and I think Ayton making an impact would take time, but I obviously will live with whatever happens.
