"Sources say Houston, which has the No. 14 pick, is interested in moving up in the draft. One potential partner might be Sacramento, as the Kings are believed to be open to such a move in exchange for impactful veteran help."

Players potentially available at 14
PG – Fredette, Jackson
SG – K. Thompson
SF – Harris, Hamilton, Singleton, Bertans, Singler, Leslie
PF – Mark. Morris, T. Thompson, Faried

I'd be all over singleton at 14

But who's the veteran help gonna be from Houston?
Scola? Who else meets the criteria? And just put the Kmart speculation to rest now.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly
Lowry’s really the only player on their roster that looks appealing AND is a veteran.
Agreed - it would call for a 3rd team
Kyle Lowry is the only guy I see on the Rox roster that would bring the Kings some of what they are looking for. The likely scenario would have to be one of the Rox young guys going to a team looking to unload veteran salary, with said veteran salary coming here.
Kings send #7 pick to Houston
Houston sends #14 pick to Sac, Terrence Williams to Atlanta
Atlanta sends Marvin Williams to Sac.
Or something like that.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
Detroit was my knee jerk thought for a third team.
Prince

Prince is a FA....
we have more cap room than anyone. Why would we trade away assets for him? Plus, SnT happen in JULY, the draft is in JUNE.
forgot he was a FA
Dont particularly want him anyway. Just my knee jerk reaction. Trying think of teams that need the shed salary. Detroit, Charlotte, Philly.

Orlando, LAL, Boston, Utah, MILWAUKEE, SAS, Dallas
Basiaclly all the deep contenders and the Bucks, Bobcats and Sixers lol
its a lot of teams
but not much in terms of what we need position wise with the exception of Iggy. I dont think guys like Parker or Ginobli are available either. At least not as a salary dump.

Not just a putrid fit, but a putrid player
Lets be honest. Why do we want the dregs off other teams? He’s the Hawks version of Donte Greene, in terms of underachieving and failed expectations, only more expensive.
I second your BARF.

You couldn't pay me to take Terrence Williams...
Has some talent but don’t think he has what it takes between the ears IMO
Let's do this.
The Rockets can reunite the 2008 Sacramento Kings. Theus and K9 to follow.

Personally
that sounds like a steal for us… like jumpboi i only want to acquire iggy this offseason. If we can’t do that this move sounds great. Lowry is finally playing very well, and we’d still have a 14th pick, and in a weak draft thats pretty much just as good as a 7th pick. What does Lowrys contract look like?
3yrs/17.7 mil
So he expires when we have to pay DMC
It could be anyone really
just not Williams.

I don't see why Houston gets rid of Kyle Lowry
He’s quietly becoming one of the better young Point Guards (on both ends of the floor) in the league, and is locked up for a fair price.

Because they could get one of
Kanter, Jonas or Biyombo at 7 most likely and they just dealt away Brooks for Dragic who I think they’re very fond of.
Not saying they would, just why they might.
I think a 3rd team would have to be involved
apart from budinger and lee I dont see much I want and they dont classify as veterans. I think both are over rated too.

Vague memory here
But I thought Dragic and Beno weren’t to fond of each other. If memory serves correctly.
No, that's Dragic and Vujacic.
But nobody likes Vujacic.

No
Beno lost his starting spot to some guy named Jaka Lakovic.
Author of the Pick and Scroll and NBA Mashups. Follow me on Twitter here.
No problem
Technically he didn’t “lose” the starting spot as he never had it, which pissed him off. The coach told him Lakovic was going to start because he’d been with the team longer but that Udrih would still get plenty of minutes. Considering Udrih is probably the best Slovenian player in the world, I’d probably be a bit pissed too.

And Lakovic backs up Rubio in Europe.
Major burn on Beno and he was pissed. Here is his quote on this from my interview with him during training camp.
I’m not going to go to Slovenia and play behind Lakovic. Lakovic is basically a back-up point guard now in Barcelona behind Rubio. He’s a great player, I’m not saying he’s not a great player but he’s had eight years and he’s had a chance to do something as the starting point guard, now let’s change something.

@James_Ham
Seriously
Some people thought he was being unprofessional but I think he was justified. That’s a huge fuck you to Beno. Lakovic was with the team longer because he had more time to be with the team. Beno’s an NBA player that plays 82 games a god damn year
"What the fuck did I do?" - McNulty
No chance I would have done it either
stupid politics, stupid coaching, and Beno wasn’t having any.

I asked Beno about this during the season.
He and Dragic are very close friends. You should read this. Not to shamelessly self promote my work from training camp but Beno was unplugged and talks about the benching issue.

Note:
The wording on this doesn’t suggest that the Rockets have talked to Sacramento, just that they’d like to move up, and Sam points out that the Kings probably would trade their pick for some veteran help.
The only problem is, I don’t see what veterans on Houston the Kings would like as they really only have Lowry (not for sale), Kevin Martin (Been there, done that), and Scola (who will be 31 and a half by the time next season starts, people forget he came into the NBA at age 27)
Author of the Pick and Scroll and NBA Mashups. Follow me on Twitter here.
Exactly.
Sam is filling column space with this comment. I don’t see any substance to it. No one on the Rockets roster is all that appealing. Scola is a good player, but not a good fit next to DeMarcus. I like Patrick Patterson, but not enough to swap picks.

Why not just say Philly wants to move up?
that might tighten my panties.

Some other nice gems in this article besides the above note
Like the fact that Kawhi Leonard’s outstretched hands are almost a Foot long and the only one with bigger hands is Center Greg Smith.
Then there is the fact that Kemba’s stock is falling with some because he only measured out to be 6’1, which he says he’s not worried about.
Also Jimmer is participating in as many drills as needed in order to try to show teams that he can and will play defense, something that I like. He knows what the biggest perception of him is and he’s out to discount it if he can.
Author of the Pick and Scroll and NBA Mashups. Follow me on Twitter here.
I'm surprised that that is making Kemba's stock drop
I mean, 6’1 is pretty good considering all the talk about his lack of size. There are plenty good PG’s that are that size. I thought that it was a pretty average size. I was worried that he would be Sub-6’. I mean, Chris Paul is 6’1 in the same size.
Phil Jackson, after treatment for a kidney stone "When the anesthesiologist leaned over me, he said "We named your kidney stone Kobe because it's not passing."
I didn't think there was anyone who thought he was taller than 6'1'',
so news about his stock suddenly dropping is a bit odd.

I take slight issue
with this headline: “Walker’s stock falling?” Because it seems like he’s tossing it out there as blind speculation without any merit. While its true that Derrick Rose and Westbrook are 6’3", Kemba Walker has been less than 6’3" all his life. Teams and scouts have known this all along. Why all of the sudden is his value dropping? No quotes from any sources or official measurements included.
Uncharacteristically weak s*ht from Sam.
"The Spurs subliment their statistics for the good of the team" Kings Coach PW.
I don't think measurements are in yet
And if Kemba measures out a 6’1" that will help his draft stock. He’s listed a 6"0.
"The Spurs subliment their statistics for the good of the team" Kings Coach PW.
This is what I was thinking
If anything I thought he would measure out at 5’11"

Makes sense...
As others have stated, Sam isnt saying that there is a deal in the works by any means but just that if the rockets are looking to move up then Sac could be a partner as they have been reported to be looking to possibly move the pick.
Now while I dont see them getting a true “Veteran” in any deal with Houston unless there is a third team (no way they move Scola that I can imagine) I wouldn’t object to a deal for a young guy if the Kings are interested in someone they expect to be there at 14 anyhow. I mean heck if the Rockets fall in love with a guy at the 7 and want to throw in Chase or something Id be willing to step down assuming Petrie really likes someone at 14.
Heck if nothing else it would give the Kings another young guy on a good contract to use in deals for the pricey vets.
This off-season really will be interesting I just wish they could just get the CBA wrapped up so we can really get things going!
SUPER ASININE!!! Or is it?
Minnesota gets Kevin Martin & #14 Pick & Donte Greene and 2013 Lottery protected Kings 1st rounder
Sacramento gets #2 Pick
Houston gets #7 Pick and The big fugly Eastern European backup to Darko.

If they swap picks and land Lowry I'd be okay with that
Actually I’d be fucking ecstatic. But, I doubt Houston does it
That being said, we need to celebrate. This is the first Kings-related draft trade rumor of the the 2011 offseason! I love this time of year
"What the fuck did I do?" - McNulty
#7 pick for #14 pick + cash and "future considerations"
thats how the maloofs roll- CREAM
future considerations being right to swap picks, or a 2nd rounder.
Someone had to say it...

Am I the only one who really isn't fond of Iggy???
He really doesn’t offer what the Kings need
by HeuristicLineup on May 20, 2011 2:06 PM PDT reply actions
Shooting, Defense, leadership and veteran presence…Nah we dont need that
Founder of team Omté Caspeen
WTF. I must be looking at a different Iggy.
The one I see shoots 40% from the field and low 30’s from beyond the arc… NO THANKS
by HeuristicLineup on May 21, 2011 9:56 AM PDT up reply actions
Iggy stats
Iggy stats – Career averages
PPG – APG – RPG – FG% – 3%
15.6 – 4.8 – 5.8 – .462 – .323
Who we gonna get better out there with what we have that’s not another rookie which we don’t need, that will bring defense and Veteran leadership/presence to the Kings..
Oh and btw way Lets just look at Thornton for comparison
PPG – APG – RPG – FG% – 3%
113.6 – 1.7 – 3.2 – .443. – .371
Here’s big thing on Iggy look at the asst rate. That’s what we need more on this team then anything IMO better and more passing especially if we aren’t gonna be running any pick and rolls

Are we talking about the same Andre Iguodala?
