With the 7th pick of the 2009 NBA Draft...

Post #41 » by **KF10** » Thu Jun 11, 2009 12:19 am

Today we are working out James Harden. Just a heads up. We are probably putting up another workout video of Harden later today or tomorrow...

Supposedly, Geoff Petrie already dined with James Harden at a restaurant today.

I really think the Kings should either take Harden at their pick or trade down and take either Holiday or Harden. No offense, but the Kings have the least talented roster in the NBA and what they need is pure basketball talent. Move K-Mart to SF and start Harden at SG. Can't be any worse than Martin/Nocioni.

If Harden is available to us, I'm pretty sure we will take him due to BPA. But we rather let Martin stay at SG and push Beno back to the bench and let Harden start at PG. Harden was the primary ball handler for Arizona State. He is very unselfish and is a willing passer. I see him playing PG i.e. John Salmons, Joe Johnson type of PG.

I'm pretty sure we have the least talented team in the league. I'm not going to lie. Outside of Martin, who do we have? Thompson and Hawes? After that, it's career bench players. Heck, I need to go to NBA.COM to see who do we have left in the roster. :lol:

I hope the Kings get Rubio... no lie... I'd like to see some basketball buzz somewhere near where I live... sick of seeing all these poser Laker fans around here...

Kings need Rubio...He would change the culture of that team..Gaurds like Paul, Kidd, Nash and Rubio spread unselfishness throughout their new team.

Martin is a smaller version of Regrette...He's a horrible player. But the good news is there's a ton of dumb GM's out there..Hopefully the kings and warriors unload their crap this summer

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't ruffling any feathers. Harden seems like a traditional 2 to me and playing at the point would take away part of that scoring punch he brings to the table. He's also not very quick and it's concerning that K-Mart and Nocioni, both bad passers, would be in the same lineup with Harden. That's not just discouraging ball movement, that's killing it.

Good to see Beno Udrih has fallen out of favor in Sacto. He was awful last season.

step 2 in turning me into a kings fan > a warriors fan

1. Hire Westphal
2. Draft Rubio
3. Warriors trade Randolph

The Kings have to wait and see who we are going to take and how this team will respond to Wesphal's philosophy. I don't know about him that well but I heard that he is a run n' gun coach. So, both the Nor Cal team are rocking a fast pace game.

You guys were boring and bad..That's an awful combo..Bring in Westphal and Rubio and in year 1 you will be exciting and bad..That's a big step.

I want Rubio in Nor Cal..This kid is special..I'm still holding out hope that the warriors pull off my trade..Monta-BWright and the #7 for the #2, Marko and Darko.

I'm pretty sure Rubio is one of the highest priorities for the Kings, if not the highest. I wouldn't be that down if we can't obtain him but Rubio + Kings = More media attention. We had no media attention last year and we really need that.

Well to be fair, he was doing much better after the trades. He limited his turnovers and played his solid self from last year. You guys saw him play, he has a pretty good mid range game and is pretty crafty around the basket..finishing..

I think we will have to give Beno another chance to redeem his self though.

He should pay the Kings fans to give him another chance. That contract is awful.

The contract isn't pretty but what can you say... We have to stick with him to the best/worst of times I guess. He is a very capable player when he is confident though. Most Kings fans seem to forget.

Only if the Warriors trade #10 to the Wolves for #18 and #28 and draft Lawson and Hansborough..... Rem's dream scenario :nod:
