dilla, what do you think minnesota does at #2? this is a weak draft, but most expect irving or williams to be there at #2...who do the twolves take if either? And if Williams, do you replace him with Beasley?Colt45fool

there's so many out there that I don't even bother anymore. I'm a Lebron hater and will continue to be but I think it's reached a point where it has got a little tiresome

I've only rooted for Lebron's teams to win the last two years (due to Shaq and Wade being on the teams, respectively)  He has led to epic fails....

COMPLETELY AGREE on the last part. I love Garnett and Allen, and I love what the Celtics did, but this creating a super team nonsense is pissing me off. It's what's going to keep small market teams that get no David Stern love from becoming powerhouse franchises again [see: Milwaukee, Sacramento, Minnesota, etc.] Nobody wants to go to those teams to make a super team, and in 5 years when there's 3 all stars on 5 or 6 teams in the league will ****ing suck for hardcore fans of small markets :( pisses me off.

and hopefully they fix all that stuff so that its not easy to create a super team. they need to make it harder for stars to leave small market teams and need to get rid of stars holding their teams hostage with impending free agency. also nba owners need to stop siging all these stupid contracts and over paying role players. its no one but the owners fault that the nba is losing money. stupid contracts and making big arenas.

I wouldnt be totally against the trade of #2 for Washington's #6 and Javale McGee, but probably not a great move. We should just stick with the pick, unless we can deal it and Beasley for someone solid.

Twolves better get Kawhi Leonard.

We need a 4th potential starting SF.

lol he was actually decent before he got injured. hey the lakers could use him instead of fisher and blake that's for sureandyboiii

There was a live feed of the Orlando Magic war room on nba.com last night and I watched that on and off during the draft. A lot of people were expecting something big to happen with the Magic. There were some substantial rumors floating around about Josh Smith or Andre Miller being traded.

So sometime in the 2nd round Otis Smith and a bunch of other people in the war room were giving each other fist bumps, high fives, and getting excited... and all that happened was the Magic traded two future 2nd round picks for Justin Harper lol.

the kings are bloody stupid. the jimmer trade is MORONIC...not just because we took jimmer, but because we traded beno for freakin' john salmons :| THE MALOOFS CANNOT POSSIBLY BE THIS DUMB.

if the kings wanted jimmer why didn't they just take him at 7? no, they didnt want to be the laughing stock of the nba, so they trade for him, give up biyombo [who ive wanted them to take for the longest time] and take an extra 10 million in salary for a bummy swingman. WHY DO WE KEEP ADDING MEDIOCRE PLAYERS WITH CRAP CONTRACTS?!?!

i would have been more receptive to seeing us just take jimmer at 7...if you want westphal to play thornton-evans-jimmer as the rotation at guard then freakin' tell westphal thats who you want to see play. christ. buy out his damn contract if you have to. maloofs are morons. so is geoff petrie. im sick of this team ruining basketball for me. **** the Kings.

I'm excited about Darius Morris, I don't watch college ball but from everything I heard he's a good defender and leader and he does shoot a high percentage on twos. Plus, he's an LA guy which is cool.

I like Goudelock as well. He was a gunner in school apparently but he shoots really high on 3's which we really need and from his interviews he has a ton of confidence. And I've heard form some experts that he's a hard worker. Good stuff.

Should have gotten Brandon Knight.  I think that would have a better chance of having a solid back-court with him and Tyreke.  Biyombo is a draft pick on hopes.  At best he will probably just be a solid defender.  Either way, I think it's really hard to say because this draft appears like it will end up turning out pretty poor players in comparison to other recent drafts.  The Cavs had to take Thompson at the #4 pick....

Big man rotation of JT-Biyombo-Cousins woulda been dope...now we're holding out hope for Hassan Whiteside to come through...or to re-sign Dally. Which would be fine personally...though when this team is ready to contend he'll be ready to retire.

That with a rotation of Udrih-Thornton-Evans and the ever revolving door of Casspi-Greene-Garcia at the 3 would have satisfied me...the positions we need aren't going to be found in this draft. So better to take a role player like Biyombo and guarantee another lottery pick next year...hopefully to grab a PG or a SF. At this point the Kings need to move to Anaheim...then Stern will give us a 'lucky bounce' to get the #1 pick. That would be the day...
