    I hope Morey isnt selling the whole farm for the 5th pick. Not worth it. But watch it be the three picks, Lowry and someone like Morris.

    Really nothing new. Same as reported earlier. Kings don't want to do anything until they see where Robinson goes.

    if we want 5, then we are making sure portland doesn't mess with our plans again. They have a history of doing so

    Sounds like we're ready to 'overpay'. Really sucks most lottery teams aren't in need of a point guard.

    We can hold the Blazers hostage with that 5 pic, because we all know that want Lillard. I think thats what Morey will do

    So I guess we should be cheering for Thomas Robinson to go top four?

    This line worries me a lot but it could be his Youth and lack of good motivate coaching.

    Drummond's inconsistent play as a freshman -- combined with questions about his passion for the game --
