Kings 2019 pick might not be as valuable as we once thought

Nah, it's some nice talent for the long run, but very raw.  If the pick were 2021, or even 2020, I might worry.  But assuming they commit to developing these guys, instead of making a chaotic trade for a not-good-enough vet, 2019 should be a very, very good pick.

What if Sacramento is bad next year but shows promise and they get a top pick in the 2018 draft: Could they convince an impact free agent to sign up to play with a bunch of young talent next summer?

That's what I worry about. Even if it's only good enough to get the pick out of the top ten, that would suck.

No, I think Sacramento needs to show a couple years of steadiness before a free-agent difference-make will even consider there.  No one who's gone there voluntarily has liked it.

lol I'm pretty sure this ones from somewhere else.

We'd be picking somewhere even Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.tier.

27th I believe.

Considering the speccy nature of that pick they made at #7, that Butler trade is one of the worst I've seen. Horribad.

Terrible. The Bulls need a new GM.

It would be typical if Denver ended with Anunoby at #24, where it seemed reasonable to take him with #13, but now they also got Lyles. The Nuggets seem lucky (or very smart) in the draft the last few years.

I like the Nyets pick of Jarrett Allen.

He will be very good for them.....in 2-3 years.

Not NBA ready, so won't help next year....good for us.

The way they view Tatum, it's pretty clear why he was the pick. Jackson just doesn't offer that two-way versatility.
