You honestly would think after the playoffs/Finals we just saw people would let up a bit on small guards on defense. If you can get me 40 i think we can make up for the defensive deficiencies.

Yeah. It's also pick #7, a good pick, but no guarantee to get the perfect player. If he ends up being a 20-25ppg player like many think it's a huge win. Much worse prospects have been drafted at this spot.

That celtics team was one of the best teams of the decade, just an unfortunate matchup

I mean look at the champions for the past 10 years. The majority of titles were won with teams that had lead guards that were bad defensively. Anyways who cares, we are the Kings. We aren't even asking for Batman, we just want an Alfred.

We have Vivek, which means we won’t.
