    If Trade up, I hear AJ Griffin might fall out of the top 10

    If not then 17. Eason or Tyty

    26. Beauchamp

    Almost never who you expect. The more sure you think you know how it will shake out, the more shocked you will be.

    So I'm going with basically randomness.

    #3 - Holmgren - Presti totally seems like the kind of guy who would get off on an epic fake-out

    #17 - Patrick Baldwin

    #26 - Ismael Kamagate

    (Edit: Michael Foster would be another choice for random guy at 26.)

    It would be as salty as the Dead Sea in here.

    Rockets petition to change the draft date and the rest of the league miss the draft and skip their picks

    3. Jabari
    17. Paolo
    26. Chet

    Not sure...I believe Kings move up to #3 to draft Ivey.

    That way they don't take a chance of Houston trading with Pacers, Knicks,
    Thunder (from #12), Pistons, Wiz and leapfrogging the Kings.

    Would Kings want Banchero-Sabonis? Or Davion Mitchell-Ivey-Fox?

    I wouldn't want Banchero-Sengun.....not sure Banchero-Sabonis is much better.

    [Not sure it's true, but my brother says he read Chet will not disclose his medical
    records to the top two teams. They may pause on drafting him. I need to verify that.
    I just got home from work....if true Ivey may be going #2]

    Edited: https://okcthunderwire.usatoday.com...ion-to-magic-and-thunder-per-bleacher-report/

    Might be Banchero gets drafted #2.....it's a multi-million dollar investment.
    Some owners may not like the uncertainty.

    Is this a joke? Well if it is, it’s in very poor taste.

    I think you may be over complicating this.

    Read an article yesterday that Ivey hasn’t even talked to the Kings, they may be open to trading up for Banchero

    Nope, as always it's not over until the player is chosen. Smoke and mirrors always
    takes place.

    Misdirection.

    Look at this hand as the other picks your pocket.

    But strangely last week Ivey said, being picked by the Kings isn't such a bad thing.

    Funny how the wheels keep turning and minds games take place until the final minute.

    All comes down to leverage and options

    • Trade #3 and a 1st Rounder up to #1 and take Paolo.
    • Trade #17 and #26 to move up and take Jeremy Sochran in the 8-12 range.
    • Wall buyout and he gives up $7-$9 million to bring his cap to ~40 million.
    • All players from Wood trade are traded again or bought out except Boban.
    • Gordon stays.
    • KMJ traded for late 1st/early 2nd to a contender looking to shed salary and have impact player.
    • Draft Walker Kessler with KMJ pick.
    • Sign vet backup 4 in free agency or taking one back in KMJ trade.
    KPJ/Gordon/Nix
    Green/Christopher
    Tate/Sochran/Matthews
    Paolo/(FA/Trade)/Garuba
    Sengun/Kessler/Boban

    *My prediction, not what I would do.*
