it's not just Darko. Look at overseas lotto bigs since then. The track record isn't great

Biedrins
Fran Vasquez
Yaroslav Korolev
Andrea Bargnani
Saer Sene
Yi Jianlian
Kanter (figuring it out)
Valanciunas (jury's still out)
Biyombo


It's usually the lesser heralded guys who wind up doing well


:whoa: on JV

Blame Casey for his development

Denver
Lakers get boogie
Kings get Lawson, Faried, Chandler/Gallo
Nuggets get 2, 6 & bad contracts

If Karl really is just trying to get the band back together, who says no?

The Kings get fukked.
Absolutely but the only point in trading boogie is to try to get to the playoffs THIS year. I don't thing they'd be interested in picks. Lakers could also send hill who's a perfect Karl center (takes up space, don't have to call plays for him) and Denver could send Joffrey and/or jokic for cheap depth.

I just don't see the point of trading boogie for young prospects and picks. If they're really gonna trade him it's gonna be for guys that will make them as good as possible this year.

And if the kings smarten up enough to not want to completely throw away their future, Denver could throw in the better of theirs/the knicks pick they own next year

In that scenario the 2 or at least the 6 would have to go to the Kings

The more i think about the more I think RJ Hunter will not play more than 1000 minutes in his career. Ask McDermott (and Austin Rivers, for that matter)what having daddy as coach can do for your career. In a foreign environment and against NBA players instead of Sun belt players, this guy is just not that good.

Yall are probably right. But I gotta think that if Vivek picks Karl and winning now over Cuz by trading him, they probably dont really care about that pick. Like, if youre really that impatient about it that you'll trade Boogie, what good is the pick to you? Idk, I may just be thinking too far into it.

if that's the case, they'd be better off just doing Lawson for #6, trading Boogie to the Lakers and flipping #2 to a third team for additional players/assets. but there's no telling what the Sacremento Cirque du Soleil is going to do. :dead:

I just have this weird feeling that Denver's gonna fleece the Kings on thursday. It seems like Karl is running things over there and he still values the guys from that 57 win team way higher than the rest of the league. Whether its getting Cousins or getting a shyt ton of assets for facilitating a cousins trade, I just think Denver's gonna get way more than they should for those guys. But maybe its just wishful thinking.:yeshrug:

Man some of you brehs need to temper your expectations about the Draft prospects...These guys get hyped up every draft but not too many of them actually become good role players let alone starters and even less end up stars....Most of these guys will never realize their potential and the few who do its hard to forecast unless they are a generational type of talent...

You can't hold deangelo Russell to James Harden or Kristops Pozimgos to Dirk...You will end up dissapointed...Also don't be shocked if a guy like Justice Winslow ends up as a better player than the players selected before him some players are just better in the more open pro systems than the rigid college systems.
