Not sure about the overall depth of that 2019 draft class. It's gonna be loaded withforwards though, there should be at least 2 elite level C prospects and there's one of the best SG prospects I've ever seenin that class.
#10 is a nice spot to hold, it's got plenty of bargaining power, many think there's a dropoff at around 12 or 13 as far as tiers of talent are concerned. They could probably extract even more than a 2019 draft pick for it.
I believe that is a fair point. My main thought it was simply getting new young players over a span of five years (Willie, last year's crop, this year's crop, 2018's crop, and then that 2019 pick). The more I think about it though the more I would rather have Willie, last year's, and this year's players as opposed to trading one of this year's to get a 2019 because I truly believe there is at least one future all-star on this team and this year we could gain another.
I want the Kings to be careful and not turn into the Celtics because even though they have a crap ton of assets they never seemed eager to pull the trigger and put them to use. At the same time I want to be careful to not get impatient and rush through a proper rebuild. However if a team is drafting in the lottery for three consecutive years after dumping Boogie it would prove to be a failed rebuild. I truly hope that the lost 2019 pick will be irrelevant when the time comes.
The beautiful thing about draft day is that all 30 teams believe they have a chance to create a championship contender at some point in the future or the present. Let's hope the Kings chances are more than just a pipe dream
