It’s finally NBA Draft Day, where every team hopes they can land their next star for the future. The Sacramento Kings currently have the 7th, 34th and 45th picks, but only the first round will be held today. Today’s first round starts at 5:00 PM Pacific time and will be broadcast on both ESPN and ABC live from the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn.
Use this thread to discuss picks, trades and anything else throughout the day. We’ll be sure to put up dedicated threads for any picks or trades the Kings make throughout the night. Happy draft day Kings fans!
Two number twos would get a good player from the Thunder.
Flemings in all purple.

The 20 second mark! I’m sold. Either trade back or get another pick and select Allen Graves! That look get my vote!
Flemings is more red than purple
Is it a blue dress or a gold dress?
Mikel Brown Jr looks like he’s dressed up in Clippers colors
Acuff doesn’t look like a dude you want to F with. I like the swag.
Heard a rumor that they waived and stretched DeRozan. As I understand, only $10M was guaranteed. Not sure why they need to stretch rather than just keeping it on the books for this dead year.
I can only guess they are trying to make room for a win now move.
Yep, the stretch part of the deal is interesting. Does Perry want to do something now with the freed up cap space?
It’s probably to get below the tax. Stretching his deal saves between 6-7M this year.
So it’s because of Vivek.
We wouldn’t have any cap space. Just room under the luxury tax
I think they would get use of the Full MLE come free agency if they get below the tax line by the turn of the NBA calendar year.
Really wish they’d prioritize taking the Cap lumps this season and letting all those salaries just come off the books at the end of the season.
Yep 100%. Eat all of your medicine this year. Do not postpone into the future (ie taking on Ja) unless you are getting serious draft capital in return.
MIA is obviously in win now mode. They desperately need shooting and playmaking on the perimeter.
Heat: Lavine
Kangz: Wiggins (exp), Jovic
Kind of like it for both teams. The Heat get their playmaker for a year to see how the fit is between their new big 3. The Kings get another expiring contract and take a flyer on Jovic.
