I would then take on Parsons from Memphis to get their #4 pick and get either JJJ or Bamba. Sorry Soth im outta likes (part 2)! But also extremely excited about Bagley! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stars want more than anything to play with other Stars, not solid foundations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Jack Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I will admit to being cautiously optimistic that the Kings would take Bagley in spite of Doncic certainly feeling at first like a fait accompli given the GM/Ownership makeup of Sac. Not anymore as I am back to the default thought of the Kings taking him again at 2. Just cannot imagine a world where Vlade does not draft what feels like the most legit Euro perhaps ever. That said, it truly would be great one way or the other should the Kings pass on Doncic as that would bring higher value should Schlenk/Ressler decide Young is their guy. At this point, I reckon I would be happier about Young at 6 or 7 than of Jackson at 3. That said, if JJJ were available where they were planning on getting Young, I would absolutely do that.

Shut your effin face. If we are lucky enough to snag Doncic, you will accept it, and you will love it. You're thinking too much. Stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GThawks3 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Looks like we would pass on Luka if this is accurate. Luka Doncic is projected to go No. 4 in the latest ESPN Mock Draft. Jonathan Givony was asked about whether that projection will hold up. "That's how it looks right now, unless somebody trades up," said Jonathan Givony on the Lowe Post Podcast. "Unless one of these really good playoff teams decides (to trade up). "I think the good teams love him. The bad teams hate him. That's what I'm getting so for." Doncic is as low as No. 8 on some teams boards. https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/250232/Good-Teams-Love-Luka-Doncic-Bad-Teams-Hate-Him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwell Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I would never draft somebody with a #3 overall pick that has no chance at becoming an NBA Superstar, or even a perennial all-star. I'm cool on this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
