It’s all stupid smoke screens. I have sources telling me that Vlade decided the night of the lottery he’s taking Doncic. However he hates the media since they always troll the Kings so he’s using this opportunity to troll them back.
If I’m right in 3 days, I get a check mark next to my Twitter account right??
Yeah, I'm thinking teams like the Hawks are the same way...they want to pretend they are not high on Luka so another team won't jump them. Schmitz even said on Woj Pod that Dallas thought they might have to trade up for Doncic earlier but now they may not have to. It's smart for those teams to make other teams think you want someone else. Kings probably don't have anything to lose by saying they'd take someone else...but I do put a little stock in the fact that if Bagley was the ONE guy that wanted to work out there and would be happy playing there, and Doncic won't give phsyical info and has expressed he doesn't (I don't know if he has), that the Kings might go Bagley if they consider them equal prospects.
This is so ridiculous to me, because 3 weeks ago, Vlade, Vivek and others from Kings family were there watching Luka in person AGAIN and after the game they took a picture all smiling while they were out on a dinner. The pic was quickly taken down from twitter but still, why would Kings scout Luka in person so many times while also throwing out the info that they are not high on him lol... Makes no sense. What kind of strategy is that... Traveling to EU just because they can? I am not buying it, i don't think Kings will take Bagley, i would be shocked if they do. Even though it makes sense for them to actually take him before Doncic.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, when someone else posted they withheld his physical from Sacramento, I thought "But he will take a picture with them?" but then thought "I guess that would be a bit rude to say you wouldn't do that, even if you didn't want to play there."
But I did mention above in parentheses that I didn't know if that was true...I had just heard or read that.
that's too funny. Yea, the bad teams pick earlier and feel that he isn't worth picking there, the good teams pick later and feel that he is worth picking later. That's what you call butt hurt.
