They're trading him to Utah for Lyles and 24

Kingsfan91 · Jun 22, 2017

I lose.

going to utah. Good pickup

KingsFanSince85 · Jun 22, 2017

Man, unless we move a couple of these youngins for a skilled vet -- the Kings are going to have a ton of really young players.
4 players from the 2016 1st round.
4 players from the 2017 top 34.
And 1st rounders from 2014 and 2015 (Bogdanovic and WCS).

We'll have 5 rookies on the roster next season.

Capt. Factorial · Jun 22, 2017

Heat probably would have taken Mitchell anyway.

kingsboi · Jun 22, 2017

of course Utah goes and trades for a defensive minded player...which means George Hill is going bye bye, either him or Dante Exum

There is talent. I thought you needed Portlands 26 as well for that trade.

LA King Fan II · Jun 22, 2017

I bet we get Swanigan at 20.

Kennard, Mr. Ohio State Basketball H.S. for two straight years, is a steal ...

206Fan · Jun 22, 2017

well now Donovan Mitchell makes sense. Trey Lyles has been a big ass disappointment in the NBA. I seriously don't know what he does well at the NBA level

He also knows every word from the movie "Frozen". That's a remarkable skill.

The_Jamal · Jun 22, 2017

O.G? Jackson? One of the C's? (Patton/other Collins/Allen?), Leaf?

Lot of good players here.

I didn't want Kennard for the Kings given their roster but I think he's underrated.

and we have shot at two of them

Wowza. Can't believe he goes before Patton/Collins/Allen

KingsFanSince85 said:

increase the odds of getting a good player. With recent drafts not including last year, the Kings could use all the picks they can get. Some will be good, some won't. The ones that won't will be gone soon.

hrmms, if true, I think the big sites were extremely down on BAM. I saw him as a 1st round talent. it was insane when I saw BAM as a 1st round guy, while DX had him in the 2nd.

kingsboi · Jun 22, 2017

The_Jamal said:

absolutely. I'll take one SF and one PF/C

dude12 · Jun 22, 2017

Old-School said:

I'm just happy we didn't take him.

kingsboi · Jun 22, 2017

Bam at 14...that is one built dude, hold down the paint with Hassan

steelevt · Jun 22, 2017

alright, odds on going to commercial...

206Fan · Jun 22, 2017

The_Jamal said:

I think he goes first because he's a 2-way big unlike Collins and Allen. Jumpshot is a lot better than we saw at UK. So when you have BAM vs Patton, BAM is a lot more polished.

roasthawg · Jun 22, 2017

Common og!!!!

Kingz19 · Jun 22, 2017

Surprised Bam went this early

Capt. Factorial · Jun 22, 2017

Best part of Adam Silver is that he's tall enough to give us an idea of how big the draftees are. With Stern, you just couldn't tell.

KingsFanSince85 · Jun 22, 2017

CyKings said:

I forgot to list Isaiah Cousins too!! Add one more to the list.

kingdivac · Jun 22, 2017

Justin Jackson - I think.....wing shooting.

andjel · Jun 22, 2017

Kings got whom they targeted at 15.
So far so excellent!

Krunker · Jun 22, 2017

So, I'm guessing we go with John Collins, seeing as how he came to sac twice

hrdboild · Jun 22, 2017

Damn, sniped by the Heat. I really liked Bam.
