Kings picking 13th overall (formerly the draft lotto thread)
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
That’s what I just thought I lost my mom 6 yrs ago a week before Mother’s Day 2weeks before her 94 yes 94 birthday. I’m a lot older than these young men but I thought what a hard question for this young man especially after pointing out the two other moms SMFH Still a tough day and I give big kudos to this young man keeping himself together.
Very curious if this will have an implication for our trade flexibility? We still owe ATL a future conditional first, but with the #1 pick coming inaybe there's reason for them to get rid of it
I almost wonder if a package of Huerter and the #13 pick could get us something like Dejaunte Murray back and "forgiving" or returning the future first. Especially if they pick a combo guard and want give Huerter time to get right without pressure to rush back.
EDIT: Hawks have #1 pick not #3.

Hunter is an interesting idea. He'll be entering year 1 of a 4 year / $95mm contract. At quick glance, he played 30 mpg and missed some time. So if ATL decides to draft another ~6'7" SF maybe they'll look to move off him? Huerter & the 13th pick for Hunter & remitting our pick? Essentially we'd be giving them the pick we owe early (and it's BARELY a lotto pick anyways), making the trade functionally Huerter + the #13 pick for Hunter.
Wes Wilcox was with Hawks before coming here which prob means good relationships there
Easy to forget, if the Pelicans had beaten LA, we'd have faced the Lakers for the 8 seed, which is as much of a free win as Pelicans was against us. And instead of talking about the #13 pick this board would likely be in an ongoing meltdown over getting bounced by OKC

Agreed. I think there will a few players available at #13 that could become starters or eventual All-Star level players. It’s Monte’s job to pick the right guy. There’s always good players available at #13.
I’m hoping Monte keeps this pick and finds a cheap, price controlled gem at #13.

No I want that Kings luck, really would take it. Anyway, generally theres a diamond or 2 in the rough in every draft.
I've seen 3 mock drafts having Kings pick Frenchman Salaun - good shooting form for his size, but most basketball highlights have those for non-center players. Didnt see many defensive highlights. He looks decent - would contribute immediately off the bench if selected his first season. Who knows what'll happen.
