Underrated aspect of the draft: if Pacers fans think moving up to get Ivey is realistic, Sacramento can milk out even more value from the Pacers than the did in the Sabonis trade. I'm asking for Brissett, #6 and a top 4 protected first.
It would cost them probably a top 10 protected 1st in 2023 and Duarte.

:heh: that's what a woman would say if she was gonna marry an ugly dude with money.

What the hell do the King’s be doing? They just take random players and just hope for the best. How haven’t you brought him in for a visit/workout

Can’t blame him I wouldn’t wanna go there either but I doubt his agents did that.
Why? It’s been known that players have been steered to not work out for the kings. Even davion Mitchell didn’t want to work out for them or selected by them. There’s no incentive or upside for a top pick to play there.

Agents do this all the time if they feel their client is gonna get buried there or if they have a better situation for them a pick or two later.

Detroit would be ideal for him. Indiana is the sentimental favorite. a spot like NY is the "fukk it they'll love me there" move.

It's what makes trading Haliburton from a sentimental standpoint that much worse since he was angling to go there when everyone else was running away.

You more than likely going to a shytty situation regardless, that’s the whole point of being a top pick. Some situations are better but most of these top picks ain’t winning no time soon
