PrintToday ESPN's John Hollinger predicts the final finish for all teams and has the Kings tied with Washington for worst record in the League. Is the tiebreaker head-to-head match-up? conference record? No matter, keep losin' boys, we need every ping pong ball we can get! Only wish we were in this position last year... God help us if we are about to relive the Pervis Ellison days, I couldn't take it.

Ironically enough...
I’d bet that Washington is probably in ‘win now’ mode, for the most part. They didn’t blow it up at the trade deadline and they are getting Arenas back next season (ha!). If Rubio declares we gotta try to get that pick.
OKC (Seattle) got the 2nd (Durant) and 5th (Green) two years ago and it looks like they are putting together something special with those two high picks. Snagged Westbrook this year. That is a proper rebuild. Actually if they get Griffen that would be the 2nd best thing to us getting him.
I really don't get that "win now" mode
If a season is absolutely lost and you’re one of the worst teams in the league, with no shot at the playoffs, I don’t see how it would help. What’s making players feel good for a day or something over a win, compared to getting a future superstar? In the end, it’s all about the coach and the players wanting to preserve their positions.
The funny thing about Washington's win now mode
is they still lose. Washington has two all-stars on their team and they still find a way to be awful, the chemistry on that team must be horrendous.
Wizards
Supporting cast is god awful:
Mike James, Dominic McGuire, Andray Blatche and Darius Songaila are their multiple year vets.
The other players are inexperienced.
With or without Arenas, this is a team hovering around 40 wins.
BOOK IT!
Caron Butler + Antawn Jamison = more wins then they have
the variable being terrible coaching and awful team chemistry. They have some talent, Blatche & James are solid (although they are dumb) Nick Young, Deshawn Stevenson & the kid from Nevada are very talented too. Why am I trying to defend the Wizards?
Because you're from the East Coast maybe?

I think the Wizards will keep the pick
Because it’s an easier way for them to yield a quality player than trade whomever it would be. If they got Griffin in a trade, I could see them dumping Jamison in a salary dump.

They simple CANNOT afford to have an $80 + mil payroll
They’ll do Something – with the pick or a player
and as has been said above, they’ve said several times this year that they think the team have – if healthy – has a real chance.
(I don’t know if I agree, but they’ve said it)

rubio…theres no way gilbert agrees to play sg…that was one of the reasons why he signed with Washington when he was intially a free agent from golden state…Cleveland wanted him to play sg but Washington said he could play point so he decided to go with Washington…

i say
This draft sucks what will it take for us to get O.J Mayo?
Kevin Martin & a draft pick
plus we take back one of their lame contracts. Then again the Grizz aren’t smart, but I’d forget about that one.
That's WAY too much.
I’m not as high on Kevin as some around here, but I still wouldn’t trade him for Mayo. Adding a pick? That’s just crazy talk.
Craaaaaazy +1

I'm trying to think like the Grizz would
and I wouldn’t trade my best player for anything less then a handsome ripoff to the other team
I'd give up
The number 1 pick in this years draft + Cisco; O.J Mayo is what we need, think about it,
O.J Mayo
K-Mart
Greene
JT
Hawes
Not only is our line up young and talented, but very unselfish players who just want to win. Tall athletic and smart. Plus all 5 of them would do anything to win. Who can stop this team? kobe could Barely stop O.J. Mayo, K-Mart needs 12 shots and he’s got 30 pts. Greene is just big and can shoot the lights out, JT has heart and will put up 12 and grab 12, and Hawes will grab 10 and put up 8 (on a bad night).
It would be a good pickup no doubt about it
but if your the Grizz do you take that?
The answer is no.
OJ Mayo
Is just about as young, talented, and cheap as they come in the NBA. Memphis has every reason in the world to hang on to him. The only way you’re going to pry him away from the Grizzlies is by trading them a package that makes them a championship contender immediately and for the indefinite future. Long story short: It’s not going to happen. Period.
p.s. – Mayo isn’t a PG; his assist to turnover ratio is 1:1.
ok folks
i know its fun to think about, but theres no chance we get mayo…sorry get over it lol…now rudy gay…hmmmmm

I still am upset that Memphis made that draft day trade
I am disappointed that they don’t have a Gay-Love frontcourt.
By way of update tonight: OKC over the Wiz, Memphis over the Clippers in LA.
Wiz at 14 wins, Clips at 15 wins to Sacto’s 13 as the other two (OKC and Griz) at 16 wins.

Right.
What the Grizzlies would take, and what he is worth, are two different questions. They may not take anything but a huge package of talent/picks, but he certainly isn’t worth anywhere close to Martin and our 1st. The Kings would actually be in worse shape if a trade like that went down.
also he would only be a slight upgrade
if there is one position that we should feel pretty good about at the moment its SG.
More pressing concerns would be rebounding and true PG
Paint defense and ball handling
to be more precise I think.

If no one else will say it, I will.
I want Blake Griffin. He plays only one way hard unlike most Kings. He takes balls to the basketball only one way —hard. He is super strong and unusually athletic for his size. Even if he was 6’8 and had only one move like Amare did when he started, plant, plant dunk in your face – that works. It embarrasses people and gets lazy NBA players like Shaq to flop. This post compares him to Always Nervous Pervis. He’s not, he’s the only lock in this otherwise worth year to have the a high pick draft. He’s an actual team changer/identity maker unlike cosmetic jewelry like OJ or K-Mart. He’d be great paired with JT or Hawes (and he’s better than both) and Donte.
Draft Balls Be Kind, The Kings Need Blake! The Padres need Strausberg and the Chargers need Mauluaga!

Yeah, I'm warming up to just taking him at #1 and seeing what happens
Assuming we get #1, and assuming OKC won’t give up their 2009 first and Green.
I only lobby for Thabeet if we Don't get the #1.
unless GP possibly parlays that into the #2 or #3 pick + +

Griffin
I think he’s going to be exposed in the tournament when he faces players as good as him, and his draft stock could drop.

But I always think that's possible too
Anything is. I don’t really think Blake Griffin’s stock will change much until June when teams really start to look at him. Either way, he’s not likely to drop past 2 or 3 at the very worst.

What is it
About Griffin’s game you don’t like?
Lonely people mixing with one another? Breeding? Creating an even lonelier generation? You're not allowing natural selection to do its work. You're like the guy that invented the seat belt.
To be frank
I haven’t seen enough of him.
When I have watched him, I haven’t seen a big repertoire of shots, and I haven’t seen him be able to get rebounds that don’t come right to him.
I don’t think he’s going to be able to dunk in the NBA as much as he’s able to in college against smaller foes.
Again, I think the tournament could help address these questions.

The 6'10" rule is BS
Karl Malone, Hakeem, Ewing all 6’9"
Even if he is 6’8". you think an inch will make a difference?
See Paul Millsap.
Hakeem & Ewing had long wingspans
That’s the biggest difference right there. (and Hakeem was a legit 6’11.)

The fact of the matter is
he is a very good prospect. He is the consensus #1 pick. If he has short arms, limps and has a Wonderlic score on par with Vince Young it doesn’t matter. The wingspan thing is important to a good degree – I just finished “Reynolds Remembers” ($0.01 on Amazon through a book re-seller) and he talks about how then GM Bill Russell asked #1 Kings draft pick Pervis Ellison to raise his arms high – the 6’11" Ellison had a reach six inches shorter than the 6’9" Russell).
I watch some college basketball and I know enough to know I don’t know who will be a good (or great) pro. You rolls your dice and you takes your chances – with any of them.
by betweentheeyes on Mar 9, 2009 12:02 AM PDT up reply actions
I know he is a very good prospect
I’m just not convinced he’s any better than the other good prospects. He’s certainly gotten more hype. He didn’t play against Kansas, he didn’t play too well against Mizzou, and the Oklahoma schedule has not been that tough. It’s a decent conference, though.
He doesn’t shoot the three-ball much (seven attempts in two years) and he’s a pretty poor free throw shooter (below 60%). More turnovers than assists. Lots of nice dunk highlights. I guess we’ll see.

Things that translate from College to pros:
1. Rebounding
2. Forcing And-1s
3. Free-Throw Shooting
That is about it. It is not a perfect correlation, but those are the things that players carry with them.

Best Case Scenario
Kings get # 1, OKC gets #5 (worst possible pick for them).
Kings Trade
Beno Udrih,
Blake Griffen
for
Russell Westbrook.
and draft Collison later on.
The PG problems are over, and Petrie might still get a decent guy with the 31st pick.
That would be pretty amazing
I wish they would take that.

You get the #1 and want to trade it – you get more than that.

you mean you wouldn't take that in a second?
not that they would ever accept that, but you wouldn’t?
I wouldn't
If we wanted a great defender and someone to run the offense then I think Felton could be had for much cheaper since the Bobcats have Augustin now.
If we deal with OKC in that scenario
I want to swap picks and get a player as well. Westbrook would be great, but they’re not going to do that. I have no problems tossing in Udrih. I’d take Westbrook and their No. 1 in 2010, though, if it came down to that.

Huh?
They would almost certainly accept that trade. Westbrook is a nice player with a broken jumper. As somewhat of a homer (huge UCLA fan), there is still not a chance I would take Westbrook over Griffin.
I disagree
I also didn’t read the trade properly that was proposed and thought that the picks would be swapped essentially, so OKC would certainly take that although that would be quite dumb of the Kings.
I’d take Westbrook over Griffin if for only I know for sure he can play and play very well at this level. I don’t think hes a real point guard but he has gotten better (still a turnover machine) but he can play defense, score and create. That is what all-stars do, and there is a very good chance he will become one. I like Blake, but I hate our point guard situation with a passion.
I still don’t think the Thunder take that, no team trades a top 5 pick who is living up to expectations for anything less then a huge ripoff to the other team.
My Plan would be
Do whatever it takes, cap hit or whatever – to get that Wizards pick. Lots of youngs pieces / picks mean lots of options at the 2010 deadline- or this year during the draft or summer. Keep them, trade them – we needs options!
We’ve taken this last step, clearing out a lot of vets, gotta really go for it now.
Going for it will give the fans a lot to look forward to and should sell some more tickets.

Why would the Wiz trade their pick?
They have no motivation to trade the pick. The Rookie deal caps out at maybe $5 Mill in 3 years from now. Less than a mid level for a player who should be great for them. As long as they do not Darko it up then they are fine.
It's because they are paying luxury tax next season
That’s really what Lttg is thinking. We shed them of their tax obligation, and we get their 1st rounder.
No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

For example
Jason Thompson and a future #1 would save them $6 million next year (when you factor the luxury tax). Not saying they would do it. But if they were to do it, that’s why they’d do it.

Just thought of the best/worst argument for drafting Thabeet
Every time he does something good they can play The Go-Go’s
We’ve got Thabeet!

How did I not think of that?!!!!
So imitate the action of the tiger!
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage.
- lend the eye a terrible aspect,
Now set the teeth - and teach them how to war!
