He's got all the intangibles. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't carve out some kind of niche in the league.

They could still resign Favors and Exum... Would need to fill in the roster with some cheapies but they just hit on Royce O'Neale. I like Nigel Williams Goss.
The loss of the draft picks and their upside isn't much of a big deal seeing as the Jazz will have picked up their PGOTF. They'll still have the 2019 and 2021 picks and lottery protection in 2022...
Rudy, Mitchell, Ball, Bradley, Ingles (2019 1st rd pick) signed thru 20-21. Exum and Favors too hopefully.. Crowder and O'Neale signed for 2 more seasons.. this type of move is very far from leaving the cupboard barren....

No way in hell Denver trades with us again, right?
I've just had a weird thought.
The Kings have never won at anything right? Doncic has ALWAYS won wherever he goes right?
So something's gotta give. Either the Kings start winning, or Doncic starts losing.

They are going to continue to lose because they won’t take him.
I mean if they do take him, something's gotta give right?

Well, the recent Kings outfit with the Indian owner is really who I'm referring to.

The Kings showed plenty of signs of life last year, their headed in the right direction. But they hold the dubious streak of longest playoff drought, which predates the owner by a long span, since 05-06.
They have major defensive issues though and Doncic seems to only exacerbate them IMO. if he's the pick this is really gonna make or break the pick IMO.
I for one can't see the Kings led by Doncic actually making noise in todays or tomorrows western conference..... Seems to me like a Hayward in Utah lame duck situation waiting to happen. I would look to trade down and secure Mo Bamba, thats the safest course of action IMO, and hope Anfernee Simons falls to them in the early 2nd.
They have no fallback either if they flop next year, their 1st rd pick is GONE from an atrocious salary dump years back... Jeorger's and Divac's jobs are riding on what happens here for sure.
if Fox makes marked progress with his 3pt shot it's a huge deal for their whole outlook too, tbh.

Just checked out the 2017 thread, we definitely have no idea wtf we're talking about. But if Cy loves a guy it seems like there is a solid reason why. But if he doesn't like a guy it's not a death sentence (Bam, Lauri).
This gem was the best though:
Same guy after I said I wanted Kuzma at #30:

So there is at least one guy you definitely shouldn't listen too.
How do you feel now?
They can always try to grab someone like a Dedmon if they needed a defensive big. I just think Doncic brings with him a new attitude and a new culture to such a stale franchise. He'll make them an exciting team again.
