He’s the most NBA ready C in the draft, and will shore up our interior d from day 1. He’s not going to be a superstar, but it wouldn’t be the worst pick by any stretch of the imagination.

I would love if he was Joe Pryzybilla
Cole Aldrich. Future All-Star Center for the Sacramento Kings. At the least, the next Joe Klein. Or maybe Bill Wennington.
That’s not good value for the 5th pick, but exactly what this team needs, so it’s almost a wash.

That's great
But it’s not an all-star, which is what the top 4 have the potential to be.
And though it’s not certain that they will, it’s also not a given that Aldrich will be as good as Pryzbilla.

“If he shows up in Chicago and in workouts with a new body and a lot more speed in his step, he’ll make huge strides toward the top of the draft. However, nobody is excited to draft a bigger Spencer Hawes in the top five.”

Seriously
I hate comparisons just because of the color of the persons skin. Aldrich is a low post, shot blocking, physical, rebounding type, while Hawes is a High post, excellent passing, shooting, finesse type.

is the inevitable Leg, Foot, or Back problems that will accompany him and hamper his true potential.
Aldrich is Kendrick Perkins basically.

who is your 5th player
I saw it as a 4 person draft and we got 5
then again last year was a 3 person draft and we got 4, that worked out well.
Wesley Johnson is #5
Johnson is going to be very good. I’d love to land him at 5. I have a feeling Minnesota is going to take him at 4, though, leaving us with one of the big guys.

my thoughts exactly
Wes is a more developed, and maybe more athletic, Donte. He would be a lot of fun to watch with Tyreke, who could open up a lot of shots for him
Not sure Evans would be happy if someone took his best friends PT.

Twolves have the 4th pick
but they have love and jefferson…maybe they trade picks with us?
ohhh
maybe.
Or could we get Kevin Love?

that is a good point, there is still a possibility that Favors or Cousins passes them
by The Guy on the Couch on May 18, 2010 5:28 PM PDT up reply actions
This is what I thought too
The Wolves won’t go big. But it depends on what Philly does. If they do go Evans and not Cousins there’s a good chance Favors falls to 5.
I can see the idiot in Minny taking favors since Hollins played so much
Ailene Voisin is wack and hearts Rubio
Hollins and Love rotated as starters so they are looking for a new big...
Ailene Voisin is wack and hearts Rubio
None of you are seeing
The SMART thing would be to take Johnson over Cousins which means Khan will do the opposite.
Then he will tell everyone Cousins, Love, & Jefferson CAN all play together & he isn’t trading any of them.
I love beating dead horses.
Can’t really go wrong with the T-Wolves and Wizards drafting in front. History has shown that to be a good draft day development.
Yeah but the Wizards can't really screw this one up

Well the Clippers screwed up the No. 1 pick last year. Now the Clippers are like Michael Jordan of F-Ups but still it seemed impossible at the time.

Maybe they trade Love for our pick.
They’ll screw up #4 anyways.
Any chance Favors or Cousins drops to 5?
Silver lining is that the Warriors dropped to SIX! lol
1) Wizards – Wall
2) Sixers – Turner
3) Nets – Favors
4) Wolves???? Cousins or Johnson?
So both the west coast teams get raped.
How is that silver lining?
Tommy Kelly's ass won us that game against Denver!
There’s some question as to whether or not Minn will pick the leftover big.
They did screwy things before, they might do so again.

Just like the lotto
I’ll play the odds and say they don’t.
Let’s look at Johnson, Aminu, Monroe, Udoh, Aldrich, Orton, Bledsoe, Whiteside, Patterson, Babbitt, Davis, Xaveir Henry and James Anderson.
Point is, Petrie has his work cut out for him, because he needs to pull the best available player out of his hat again, just like he did last year. And if he does that we will likely have a top 2 or 3 pick on our roster again.
they go with Johnson, definately
They need a productive SG. Brewer is good with steals, but that’s about it…plus he’s a tweener SG. Him and Wayne Ellington are their only SGs.
.
Of course after Washingtons season they get the top pick ..how convenient … FFS why does Sac get the shaft every year ….
You have it a lot better than my team Damn
At least you could get Wesley Johnson. Boys gonna be a beast
"Who Wants some pudding pops?, delicious and nutritious!
I would take him over Aldrich or anyone else thats left

I don’t see what anyone could possibly dislike about Wesley Johnson. I really don’t. He’s super athletic and can shoot, and is probably the best defender in the lottery.

I don't DISlike Johnson
I just worry that he’s already 22 and can’t really put the ball on floor. I don’t see him as a star, just a solid player.
Turner's probably the best defender in the lottery.
We’ll see about Johnson. He is 23.

23 by the time season starts that is.

Everyone else pretty much said it
23 year old rookie.
So he's about one year older than Turner...
…but we can’t get Turner. Johnson is a damn good player. Great defense, can shoot from deep, attacks the glass…if his age is the biggest thing you have against him, I’d say that’s a pretty good sign.

I see a player with...
little more untapped upside, in his prime, who is well older than anyone else, and is the same type of player as Donte Greene. We have Donte and Casspi. Do we really need a rookie (thats older than them) to take minutes from them? Is he that much of an upgrade from Donte? I would rather take a player with upside in Aminu, who could play the 3 or 4, and has upside.
Just because these guys stay in school longer
does not mean that they have less “upside?” Was Tim Duncan done growing as a player? Shane Battier? Grant Hill?
We’re one of the youngest teams in the league, and he won’t move that number up. Johnson is a much more highly regarded player at this point in his development than Casspi or Greene.
Honestly, I hope that we don’t have to draft Johnson – I’m holding out hope that an available big man comes in and impressess. But if Johnson is the best guy, draft him.
The KIngs have one potential all star on their current roster, in my opinion, and his name is not Donté Greene or Omri Casspi. Pass on Johnson because he fails to impress? Fine. But do not pass on him because he is 23 or because of the current roster base.

Although, I gotta say I think Donte will have an excellent year next season.

How do you feel about Al-Farouq Aminu and Donte Greene as your F's
Screw position, that’s a difficult tandem to deal with. Or shit, if you want to be an elitist snobby Jew, Omri & Aminu. I can go either way on that.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
I think that Aminu has more work in front of him
Doesn’t mean that he isn’t the right pick. But I see Johnson as the most NBA-ready player in this draft after Evan Turner. Even more ready than Wall. Johnson could be a scoring spark off the bench almost immediately for the Kings. Aminu would earn his minutes on defense, and we know how tough that is for NBA rooks. Similar to my thoughts on Cousins vs. Favors.

Well why do you draft for NBA ready as opposed to down the road?

I think Sacramento falling to 5 is great news for Al-Farouq Aminu. They need him much more than they need Wesley Johnson.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
And I respect Givony
But I think that need is the last factor here, as we need practically everything. If we take Aminu, it will be because Petrie thinks that he is the best prospect, not because of need.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
We don't need practically everything. I get the Kings won 25 games.
But they also overhauled half their roster, and the half that was new all practically played. Plus, and you have to factor this in too, the Pacers won 32 games and finished with the 10 worst record. 8 teams were all within 3 games of each other. That isn’t a heck of a lot disparity 214.

Clarifying
I’m not saying dump the roster. What I am saying is that with the #5 pick, we could improve ourselves at every position except wherever Tyreke winds up.
This team needs stars. My opinion is that we have one player with true star potential (Evans). Could another guy like Greene or Thompson or even Landry break out? Sure. But there are no players on the current roster that would preclude the Kings from drafting another player for any position.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Nope.
But the question is how a potential star would fit with players, and I see Wes Johnson being a poor fit at the moment.
Johnson is efficient offensively, but not a superb rebounder.
EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985......
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
You don't
You take who you perceive is going to be the best player once they are developed. Today, I think that Johnson > Aminu as an NBA prospect, but by the thinnest of margins. The workouts could easily change my opinion.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
I'm with Section
I think Johnson will end up being better than Aminu. I still only think it makes sense to draft Johnson if a) Petrie thinks he can get some minutes at SG or b) if there’s some idea for clearing the logjam at SF. Otherwise you’re drafting someone with no hope of cracking the rotation and developing.
Agreed
Drafting Johnson definitely begats another move. Heck, the same may be said of Aminu, though maybe closer to the all star break.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
The idea of bringing in Aminu is that you'd play him and Omri/Donte with Aminu
That would certainly help you A) defensively B) rebounding and C) give you a lot of different things that could help you win games.
I’m sorry, but the Spencer Hawes/Jason Thompson frontcourt combo has to end. Only one can play at the court at the same time.
EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985......
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
I don't think it's a bad idea
I just worry that:
1) You have Landry already soaking up most of the minutes at PF
2) I think Aminu’s game is more Darius Miles than Tyrus Thomas. I don’t think he has the strength to play PF. If he’s a liability defensively you’re back in SF logjam land
and
3) I don’t like Aminu as a SF because I don’t think he’s coordinated/skilled enough to play on the wings
However, if Aminu turns into the next Shawn Marion you’ll make us all look very stupid.
Bring Landry off the bench.

and we don't know
What Landry is going to do after the season. How much do we count on him being a part of the future when he is an unrestricted FA, and at his age, this is his one shot at scoring a big deal? He has to follow the money, and I don’t know how much the Kings are going to think he is worth unless he can pull off a remarkable season, especially on the boards.

It's the expectation and the hype a player or two gets all year long.
All that is. And, for many, they may still get the player they want: Cousins.

just because I don’t have a link doesn’t mean DEMARCUS COUSINS doesn’t do COCAINE. My father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate heard DEMARCUS COUSINS ranting and raving about how much he loves to do COCAINE.

Still a chance for Cousins with the Wolves ahead of us I think.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
This.
Last year’s lottery, I believed there was no shot at Rubio.
In this case, only one player needs to sneak in for one of the bigs to fall. If not, Petrie will get the best of the rest.

That's my thinking as well.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Cousins and Jefferson on the same team
Why?
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
It's the same logic for us not taking Wall
You trade Jefferson
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
The greatest impact player in NBA History - Tim Donaghy
Not really
We could move Reke to the 2 with Wall. Jefferson has a big contract and Cousins is almost the same player. Not to mention Love. Plus, the Wolves really need a stud wing and shooter, and Johnson fits that. I’m not sure Johnson isn’t going to be a star. I might even end up being happy with him at #5.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Your logic is sound.
Let me throw out my least favorite phrase. “Best Player Available” If Cousins is better than Johnson, don’t you take him and make the moves that you can to fill the other needs.
Trade Jefferson and Keep Love or visa versa plus how many picks does Minny have in the 1st round 3? I imagine that they are in position to make all sorts of trades and swaps this summer.
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
The greatest impact player in NBA History - Tim Donaghy
Interestingly enough
I think you’re right. They don’t necessarily need a big. Maybe they trade down a spot?
I've got squirrels in my pants!
Could be possible
Kings and Wolves simply swap. That is if the Kings even want Cousins.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Agreed
I see this:
1. Wiz- Wall
2. Philly-Turner
3. Nets-Favors
4. Minny-Wes Johnson
5. Sac-Cousins
I can’t see Minny taking DeMarcus with two big plodding types in the middle with Jefferson and Love. Plus, they need outside shooting to spread the floor, and Wes Johnson fits that need.
If not, I think we take Aminu. He can’t shoot a lick, but he is great rebounder and defender, and he can probably play little 4.
I think they can take Cousins
And trade Cousins or Love for someone better than Johnson.

Hahaha, it’s just funny to me. So we got the 5th pick, cool. Let’s get to work. Petrie will find us a good player.
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Yup I'm with that too.
I like Al-Farouq Aminu. He could end up becoming something special. What worries me is that Minnesota loves him TOO.

Minny wants an athletic wing. Aminu or Johnson could both fit that bill
I really don’t see them taking Cousins. I’m sort of hoping for a miracle in Nyets taking Cousins and Kings somehow getting Favors, but since thats unlikely, I’m going for Cousins at 5.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
That'd be the perfect scenario
But then again, last year we all hoped for Rubio to fall, he did, and then we picked Reke so nothing is certain with Petrie
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
Yep I could see Minny take Aminu at 5.
I can see the Kings taking Cousins or Udoh at 5 too.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....

I do too.
I’m not worried. A good player is coming the Kings way.

I just really wanted one of Wall-Turner-Favors. So obviously we miss out on all of them.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Yup.
Favors is going to the Nets.

Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
If taking Brand and drafting Favors was possible
The Kings would have to consider doing that.
EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985......
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
That's the magic of cap space right there
If Petrie’s allowed to use it, it certainly gives a lot of additional options.
I've got squirrels in my pants!
Brand has so much money on the line
I could see something like Nocioni for Brand and the #2 though.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....

That makes a lot of sense to me actually.
EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985......
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
Yeah...actually not that bad of a deal
Brand’s still a pretty good player…but he just has a bad contract. 2 years left on his contract with an ETO for the last year. Swapping out Noc, the Kings would basically be giving up about $9 mil of cap space for Brand and a #2 pick.
That’s a steal, if Petrie isn’t going to make a big move via free agency.
The sixers seem to be the key to me
Wall is a lock with the Wizards, they need an explosive guard like that badly.
The sixers could go with either Turner to put him with Iggy, or even Favors or Cousins since they don’t have any untouchable bigs. Although I think that with Dale and Speights they go Turner. Holiday, Iggy, and Turner is a pretty good perimeter.
Yeah Wall is going to the Wizards
It also could make them a much bigger FA draw than people think.
EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985......
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
I think this draft is actually pretty deep
maybe 7 or 8 players deep.
It's a lot deeper than that I'd bet.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
No it's just due to the number of players
I don’t think the CBA exactly factored into it.
EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985......
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
Combination of stuff
Strong Freshmen class, the looming CBA and the fear their contracts may change (for a few guys—but I doubt it was a strong factor) and there was at least 5 or 6 guys who could have come out last season and didn’t as well.
EvilCowtownInc: Screwin Suckaz over since 1985......

Agreed
This isn’t the worst thing in the world…it would have been nice to have more options, but there will still be some talent, and quite possibly Cousins available at the 5 spot.
I've got squirrels in my pants!
Cousins will be there. Question is do the Kings really want him.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
I would have taken him at #1
So yeah, I’ll take him if he’s still there at 5
He most likely will be.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
How can you be so sure of that?
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
Depends on Kahn.
I’d bet much of what i own that Cousins isn’t top 3, and Kahn may pass for other reasons. I’d say it’s 50/50 at this point.

TWolves?
We can still get Favors or Cousins. I think the NETS will takeFavors since they already have a C and the Twolves don’t really need a big guy, they need a guard and SF.
Hell, the Nets could even take Johnson
He’s a local kid, he’s a good fit for their gaping hole at SF, and it’d free them up to go all-in after Bosh in free agency with Boozer, Amare, and Lee as backup plans.

Cole Aldrich
Geoff Petrie isn’t stupid enough to draft a second Spencer Hawes to the team. I think our most likely options are Aminu, Johnson, Monroe, Davis, guys like that. But the future looks much more dim than it did half an hour ago….
first off
Alrich is nothing like Hawes. He’s actually plays defense and plays like a bigman – not a 7 foot tall waking vagina
LoL @ Aldrich = Hawes
Because they’re both tall and white right? Their games are COMPLETELY different.

But I’d argue that Greene and Noc didn’t play as much at the 4 as they could have. He did play Donte at the 2, but more out of necessity. When everyone was healthy there wasn’t a lot of position sliding going on.
I would argue Donte didn't play enough at the 4 as well. But I think there was a plan behind that.

Yes,
GP is just like every other GM. He cant see into the future any more than you and I. So, the best player available down the road, isn’t a choice. All you can do as a GM is have an idea on how you want to build the team and what players look like they have the skills to work with the core players you already have.
GP hasn’t let me in on his plans, so here is what I see. PW was brought in to improve the defense and the rebounding, and only made a significant dent in the rebounding area. We already have 4 players on the frontline that can hit the 3-pt shot and the other 2 are very good at mid to long range jumpers. But, only 2 are good defensive rebounders. Cisco and Beno are good long range shooters, but with only average defensive skills. Evans is the only all around good defender and scorer.
The Kings need a defensive presence at Center and a playmaking PG who can defend so Evans can move to the 2. The guard can come from FA, so the Defensive Center is who I’d be looking for with the 5th pick. I’ve said all along that I’d take Cousins and if he’s not available I couldn’t say until after the combine and the workouts (assuming we get to see any of them).
I don’t think Cousins will stifle Evans interior play any more that Oden or Prizbilla stifle Roy’s game. Cousins has a decent short range jumper and teams will have to play him away from the rim. Plus he has good hands and will finish when Evans feeds him the ball should he’s man leave to stop Evans penetration.

Now I get it,
when I said
PW was brought in to improve the defense and the rebounding, and only made a significant dent in the rebounding area.
You we’re upset because I didn’t give PW more credit for improving our defense. OK, the defense did improve but it’s still in the bottom third of the league. And, I still stand by my statement that only rebounding made a significant jump because we ended up 10th in rebounding.

So, the best player available down the road, isn’t a choice. All you can do as a GM is have an idea on how you want to build the team and what players look like they have the skills to work with the core players you already have
Wow, that debate really stuck in your craw didn’t it? You’re still bulldogging the idea that GMs cannot draft based on BPA, since they aren’t a bunch of Nostradamusi? Even with all evidence (including the words of Kings management themselves) to the contrary.

To add
If you draft based on skills and need, aren’t you prognosticating that those skills that were evident in college will translate to the NBA? That’s not an exact science either.
So I declare it UNPOSSIBLE for a GM to draft based on need, since they cannot know for sure that those needs will be met by the player over the long haul.
That’s right, I said it! UNPOSSIBLE!

Someone asked me my opinion and I gave it.
the fact that you don’t agree, doesn’t change my opinion, sorry.
Picking the BPA 4years down the road is at best an educated best, and if GM’s could do a great job at it than MJ would have been the #1 pick, and so would Kobe and alot of todays All-Stars.
The Fact is that I believe the best way to select talent is to pick the most skilled player that fits into the GM’s plan for the team, and hope that he turns into more than that. As far as importance, I place skill over athleticism, athleticism over size , and need over potential.
GM’s that got paid to make these types of decisions, have passed on players who based on general concensus at the time were the BPA (GP & JT). So, I’m going to have to disagree with you. It does seem to be a two way street thought, because you can’t seem to let it go either.

I’m so desparate for a decent big man (specifically, a center), that I’m leaning more towards Aldrich or Udoh than Johnson. But I’ll have to take another look at Johnson…
I heard Petrie
wasn’t a fan of Monroe….take that for what it’s worth. I;ll see if I can dig up the source of that comment.
Interesting
I would have thought it out of character for Geoff to publicly state that he isn’t a fan of a collegiate players game before working said player out.
LOL. You really want to play that game?
Here’s you, aka Mr. Earl Clark:
Count me in on the Earl Clarke bandwagon. Think Bill Gates version of Marvin Williams…maybe a thicker Danny Granger type. The kid will be a stud in the NBA. If we have a pick in the 4-8 range, I’m TOTALLY on board with Earl Clarke.

I don’t get why Donte would be happy with this? I’m confused.
Draft day trade idea if Johnson drops.
Nets get: Johnson, Casspi.
Kings get: Favors.
Kings do it if they want Favors. Nets do it because they have Lopez already and Casspi would sell more tickets by himself than any other non-all star.
I’ve never bough into the idea of signing a mediocre player just to sell tickets. Talent sells more tickets than anything. That’s Favors.
i do
and that’s why I wouldn’t make this trade. I want the Kings to stay in Sac. People coming to see Omri while the team is developing will help that happen.

I'm sort of convinced that Cousins will be available at 5.
Wes Johnson is pretty much everything the Wolves need. Great shooter, super athletic wing, can get his shot off easily.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
Similar to last year when a lot of us felt the Grizzlies would not draft a PG.
Oh man, my eyes are officially corrupted.
I saw, super athletic wing as super athletic wang.
Which took the “great shooter, can get his shot off easily” in whole other direction.
Tanking? I don't know what you're talking about, tanking. I'm just losing more efficiently.

He'll just wrestle his man down low

Philly trying to shop the #2 along with Elton Brand's wretched contract
Minnesota and Kings simply swapping. Nets trying to move up.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Why would the Wolves take on a bad contract and lose a spot?
I was thinking more like just 4 for 5. Both teams get who they want except Minny saves a few bucks.

Minny doesn't want #4
especially after taking #5 and 6 last year…
I'd do #2(Turner) and Brand
For #5 and Nocioni.
I think it’s plausible. They get under the LTT, get a deep shooter in Nocioni shed 2 years off of Brand’s deal in the future all while dropping just 3 spaces in the draft.
New roster:
C: Hawes, Thompson
PF: Landry, Brand, Brockman
SF: Greene, Casspi
SG: Turner, Garcia, #33
PG: Evans, Udrih
I'd have to think about it
Brand’s contract is pretty horrible.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Yeah it is but then again i could see it working..especially if they threw in cash for the maloofs..you know they love the color green
Judgment day is coming!
Can only take 3 million in a single trade.
So, it would take a lot of money I suspect for the Maloof’s to take Brand’s contract on. Especially given that the Sixers haven’t been real profitable lately.

Kings aren't taking Brand.

I have a hard time believing that the NBA is not fixed.
It REALLY seems that every year the big market teams ‘win’ the lottery.
I’m increasingly open to the idea of just getting rid of the lottery, or opening it up to the entire league to do away with tanking.
Make the bottom 2 have a coin toss.
This system screams of fix – numbers pre-selected……..

Just wondering
Who you hoping for at 5 LPA? Cousins?
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
So Sims is in the Cousins camp.
That’s probably where I am right now too.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Yeah I think I'd rather have Cousins over Udoh at 5.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Unfortunately, Cousins will probably be gone by 5.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
He'll be there
The question is will anyone want him before 5. I doubt this a great deal. Philly & Washington won’t take him. New Jersey doesn’t need him, and Minnesota doesn’t need him either. He’ll be there at 5 to take.

I'd be pretty happy with a post up shooter who could space the floor and get about 5 rebounds a night
oh wait we had one of those and traded it to Houston.
You'd probably like Wes Johnson then
Although you’re looking at probably about 7 or 8 boards a night. Guy goes after them like crazy.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
I was partially being sarcastic...
but I’d be happy with either Favors, Cousins, or Johnson which is right where we are.
I think Johnson’s Rebounds are inflated by the zone at syr, and I’m a little skittish of his age. He’s actually older than most of our current team.
Wall, Turner and Favors are pretty much locks in my opinion
with the way the lottery is currently set.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
I think so too but there's a long time from here til draft day
we all though that Rubio was a lock at 1 or 2 this time last year too didn’t we?
Nope.
The draft order was very much in the favor of Rubio dropping. Memphis and OKC were the key.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Agreed.
I think it’s inevitable that Wall replaces Gilbert, Turner goes to Philly to give the Iggy part deux(look for Philly to dump Iggy’s deal now). And that leaves Favors as the PERFECT fit in Jersey next to Lopez and with Harris running the show. Lee, Williams and CDR are capable wingmen. I think Yi gets dealt though.
Oh I agree that logically Favors is a much better fit in NJ
but logic and the draft often have very little to do with each other.
Especially if the Russian goes after LeBron
Lopez, Favor & LeBron frontline with Harris and Williams in the backcourt would be pretty sweet.

True he's not scared of the crazy but all of those players worked out for us.

As I recall Jason Williams was a very very good player for this team and continues to be in Orlando, Vernon Maxwell was a decent contributor off the bench, and Ron Artest almost single handedly took a bad team to an 8 seed.
That’s what worries me.

5th pick?
Sure it’s not as good as the four that come before it, but I trust that Petrie will get us what we need.
Personally, I’m hoping for Wes Johnson purely because I think he is the BPA at #5 and because he would make an impact from day one.
What the Kings need is to find a defensive big either through trade or free agency to fill our gaping whole in the paint, (unless JT puts on some muscle and can guard opposing C, then I look forward to whatever that looks like).
Can’t wait for the Shark’s game tonight.
Oh, GO KINGS!!!

Just can't see Wes Johnson
Next year’s depth chart at SF would be:
Nocioni
Casspi
Greene
Garcia
Johnson
Johnson is athletic enough that he could play the 2 in the NBA
Not much bigger than K-Mart was.

The length of that backcourt would be pretty insane.
It would probably outrebound a few frontcourts in the league too (probably our own).
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
I'm not convinced that Johnson's rebounding will translate
He played down low on the block in a zone so his numbers were inflated.
But he could be a good spot-up shooter playing off Evans. I guess I could see that. I think there are more talented players at #5 though. You’re basically drafting JR Smith at #5
I think his rebounding will translate
Look at how high he jumps trying to go for them. Every time I watched him he made a concerted effort to attack the glass, on both ends.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Rebounding in the NBA is usually determined more by strength though
The perimeter players who are good rebounders (LeBron, Bonzi in the day, Gerald Wallace) are really strong more than they’re strictly athletic/hungry for rebounds. In college Johnson was down low and bigger/more athletic than most of the opposing bigs he was up against.
I don’t think he’ll be a bad rebounder, I just don’t think his rebounding is really a reason to draft him. But we’ll see.
This
Johnson is a good rebounder, and an excellent scorer. I don’t look at drafting a SF as a bad thing, especially if we get an upgrade over one of our other SF’s.

And, Donte could move to the 4 and backup Landry

PW played Donte more at the 4 than at the 2 according to 82games.com
"If you don't have anything good to say, LIE" - Mom
The greatest impact player in NBA History - Tim Donaghy
That's because Martin and Cisco were hurt and he wanted size at the 2
so that the other team had to play their PG on Evans. Donte did his best work rebounding and blocking shots at the 4. But, he may be best suited at the 3 because of his ability to guard 3’s. So, I’m just saying that it wouldn’t hurt to move him to the 4 where he’ll be quicker than opposing 4’s, while he developes his inside game. He can always move back to the 3, and might end up like Odom.

I thought of this
However, I think position is such an over rated way of judging talent and you never know where a star could come from.
I do agree with some experts that his weaknesses will be exposed in the NBA, but I’ve watched this guy play and I think he has star potential.
Either way, I’m not stressing over the draft anymore. I enjoy the suspense, but overall, you never know how these guys are going to develop.

This could end up working in our favor
espn is already showing the t-wolves passing up on cousins and the kings picking him up. If that happens, we end up with potentially the best player in the draft, at our weakest position, for the cheapest price. Sounds kinda like last year…
Very true.
After Turner, I REALLY want Cousins. Last year after Griffin, I REALLY wanted ’Reke.
So hopefully it’s just like last year. Cousins’ “red flags” are SOOOOO overblown. I live in Kentucky right now and he’s beloved by the fan base here.
And can you imagine
if he doesn’t have any attitude problems how well he and Reke would work together?
He is a Junior and 23 is why I'm not to high on him
Really good player, low ceiling to improve though.
Johnson is the 23 year old
Evans is 21 and a soph.
Uhm
Being able to choose from all the players available is “good”. Choosing 5th in a 4 player draft is “bad”.
Ok, that’s an exaggeration. Nobody knows how it will turn out, but a bit of disappointment is to be expected.

From Ford's latest mock
He says we get Cousins:
While Cousins has the talent to be a top pick, he has scared away teams a bit with his on-court antics and a motor that sometimes moves to idle. But at No. 5, he would be a great pick for the Kings, giving them toughness, rebounding and a legitimate, low-post scorer. Teaming him with Carl Landry, Jason Thompson and Spencer Hawes would give Sacramento a very good front line.
I agree with his Top 5
I don’t see the Dubs taking Aldrich at 6 though, I see them going with Aminu there.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Who's the GM in Oakland now?
Does anybody even know who’s making the decisions for that team?
Technically Larry Riley is the GM there.
So I guess him & Nellie would make that decision.

There's a lot of unknown with the potential sale coming
I’d bet Nelson and Riley make the decision, since the sale won’t occur most likely before the draft.
I've got squirrels in my pants!
Yup. This is my guess too.
The Warriors would LOVE Cousins, but they won’t get to pick him. Oh well.

Udoh might fit well there.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
Thinking about it more....
I think if the Wolves pass on Cousins they take Aminu. Think long term here. Kahn is INFATUATED with Rubio. Therefore he’s going to get players that fit with Rubio. Playing Brewer at the 3 and Aminu at the 4 gives the Wolves TWO elite finishers at the rim. Jefferson can play the 5 and he looks to deal Love for an elite shooter at the 2.
As to Rubio
Is he definitely locked into his contract next season in Europe, or does he have a buyout provision?
I've got squirrels in my pants!
He has one more year.
Then he could potentially come over. And I think Kahn is convinced he will. (I personally think he’s delusional), but he’s mortgaging his future on Rubio IMO.
No buyout I believe
2012 is the earliest he can get out of his contract
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
2011 is the earliest not 2012
2012 is the first year he can receive a contract above scale.

This is only half a joke.
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
Cousins is our pick....
…if he’s available(at least I hope he would be, available and our pick).
We’re picking 5th. Noone has higher upside. He’s a legit 7 foot 280. No big man is as skilled as Cousins with maybe the exception of Monroe(also a good target if Cousins is gone whether to Minny or to a team that leap frogs us).
Adding Cousins gives us the girth that we need up front. He’s the best rebounder in college basketball which always translates from College to NBA.
We have both Thompson and Hawes to help play the 5 and take the pressure off of Cousins having to be THE MAN for us. If COusins acts up, we have Hawes. If he doesn’t we have Hawes to back him up.
It’s really a low-risk, HIGH-REWARD pick at a position AND SKILL-SET to boot.
C: Cousins, Hawes
PF: Landry, Thompson, Brockman
SF: Greene, Casspi, Nocioni
SG: Garcia, #33

Sounds good, but I fear Cousins won't be available.
Probably better to spend time contemplating players other than Favors, Cousins, Turner, and Wall.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
I can't say this enough
It’s very likely that given who the top 4 teams are the Kings may get Cousins without having to move up. If they want Favors, that would be the difficult player to get.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. 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.....
I see us picking up a guard in Free Agency, and moving Cisco to backup
And it could be another PG, with Evans moving to SG and Beno backing up both. Which is what would of happened if the Kings got the first pick and took Wall.

Slight slight slight possibility that Avery Bradley will fall
Which would be a major steal. Otherwise you’re looking at sub-6’0" guys like Sherron Collins and Randle.
Armon Johnson is more of a slasher, Terico White is more of a SG, or Greivis Vasquez, who may not be quick enough to play PG.
Collins and Randle may be short,
but they’re really good. I really like Collins.
