He would have to pull out of the draft for that to be even remotely possible though. He would be locked into whatever team drafted him unless he wants to sit out a whole year and then re-enter the draft but as long as he plays over seas then his draft rights remain with the team that drafted him.
If he doesn't want to play for a crappy team, he should start playing bad so he can drop in the draft, haha
I can see his point. SAC has been such a shit organization. Their owner is a moron, who thinks he's building the next GSW style dynasty, but he has poured a shit ton into the arena and the fans are back (100.3% of capacity for 41 home games). Vivic needs to fire Vlade the puppet and hire a real GM. They are still several years away, but I think SAC will eventually turn it around. The good news is they are likely to have several more lottery picks to build around. They just need to hire a GM who knows his own ass from a hole in the ground. BNM
I actually think Kings are a good place to be for a young player now. They got a lot of promising players who can grow together.
yeah and you get to play for half a dozen different coaches over a couple of years...different roster every dozen games...I've said for years that the King's should be jlprk's favorite team...constant change.
That's what I had in mind. It was a half-serious comment, but the timing of the draft lottery and talk that they want to pick him but can't justify it, makes me think it's actually being considered.
Saying the right thing at the right time. He has games left with them so he doesn't want to say it's his last already. And leveraging out of Sacremento to either Atlanta or Memphis.
Next year's pick from Sac is unprotected and going to Boston. Freakin Danny Ainge man, falling ass backwards into good fortune. This pick was traded to Philly along with Stauskas and BOS ends up with it
Last year was an excellent draft class as far as early contributors goes. It sure seems like a bad class follows a good. It's always a crapshoot, but if Doncic stays in Europe, this class gets a lot leaner.
If I ran one of these teams with a top 3 pick and Doncic were available I'd draft him and ask his agent to keep him in Europe another year, and then I'd tank for another top 3 pick. That's the "process", right?
