    Sac Kings fans gotta be ecstatic about not drafting Luka.

    Sacramento Kings chairman Vivek Ranadive was reportedly one of the "driving forces" behind drafting Marvin Bagley III with No. 2 overall pick in 2018 ahead of Luka Doncic, a former member of the team's basketball operations staff told Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee.

    The source credited Ranadive and assistant general manager Brandon Williams in leading the charge for Bagley. They felt the former Duke star was a "modern-day big who could run the floor with De'Aaron Fox."

    This is called putting the cart before the horse.

    The Blazers don't even have a cart.

    By the way, Dallas actually drafted a Point Guard in the draft before they picked Luka. Dennis Smith Jr., with the 9th pick overall, in 2017.

    DJ Jr had offensive stats similar to Scoot in his rookie year.

    Come on Timberwolves, at least show some pride. At this rate they'll join the Blazers in the 60-point loss camp.

    I really can't see the Celtics beating the Mavs, unless Kyrie reverts to crazy/injured form.

    The Dallas GM deserves a lot of credit for Getting Irving to buy in, draft and The Trade.
    They never made the playoffs last year and now almost in the finals.

    Luka/Kyrie 44/8/6 in 1st half

    T-Wolves fans are booing, nice fan support Minnesota. Go put on your Vikings gear and quit watching basketball
