    Mitch has pulled off some fast ones on better organizations than the Kings. With the state they are in now, I see us walking away with either a great deal or nothing.

    I agree that Mudiay can't slip outside top ten. Could slip to 9 though.

    Maybe Zeller? I don't know. They apparently have a great offer from Boston though for the 9th pick. Better than what we would be willing to give up.

    Boston to draft Kaminsky at that spot? If so, that blows up PHX plan. Does Mudiay slip out of top 10?

    Not a chance Mudiay falls past 8 but I doubt he makes it out of the Top 5.

    Boston wants someone really bad, but I'm not sure who at this point...

    I haven't liked Karl ever since he called Kobe nothing more than a statguy on a .500 team back in 2005.

    They want to pair up Olynik and Love really bad...not. Hope they get another fine pick like last year.

    Smart? He's alright. I bet they regret not getting Julius though. I was so relieved that day when they went for Smart at 6.

    Its well documented here that I was not a "Smart fan" even though I admit that I am a dumb fan.

    I was on the Smart/Randle bus hardcore. I was happy with either one of them. So it ticks me off a little bit that Smart is already getting treated like dirt in Boston. On the other hand, we are slapping anybody that comes close to trying to get Randle. Kind of speaks volumes to both franchises.

    :D Aren't we all?

    At least they didn't pick Gordon in the Top 5... Yikes! Or Exum everyone has already forgotten that guy.

    Yeah I guess it's not the worst plan. The obvious problem I see is that Love probably only signs a 1 + 1 with them. I don't think they're a sure enough bet to make the playoffs for Love to stay. then they're right back in the same spot with their players a year older.

    An excellent point. I can defend my biases as being a laker fan both ways...love Randle and hate the C's

    The obvious problem I see is building around Love and Bledsoe... Both are injury risks, both haven't proven they can carry a team to the playoffs...

    The contract I assume would HAVE to be guaranteed if you're Phoenix... Right?

    I read that Detroit like Mudiay and they would take him if there...ending the Reggie Jackson era. I'd take Reggie for a reasonable deal if we strike out at other spots...unless we draft Russell. Then we are set at guard.

    Detroit would be ecstatic to have a Top 5 talent drop to 8 like Randle last year. I doubt it happens though.

    I s**t you not...just saw for about 30 seconds on DMC twitter feed "DMC to NYC" (its down now). Was that up before the rumors started?

    I'd be very surprised to see that but maybe NY is willing to sell their soul at #4 for Kings?
