So I've heard some really good things about Darius Johnson-Odom, but didnt get to see much of Marquette this year. I know we took him kinda late so if hes as good as people say he shouldnt have fell that far? Anyone know much about him?
I saw him play in college a decent amount. Was really good for Marquette. Tough, solid defender, not a bad shooter, does a pretty good job in transition, not a bad secondary ball handler. Great athlete, pretty strong for his size. He's short for his position, a little older than most prospects IIRC, and isn't really a lights out shooter. I think he'll be a player, although I tend to be a big fan of Marquette guys.

So he's more of a 2 guard? Is he capable of playing the Point?

As of now, Kings' projected starting lineup going into next year;
PG: Isaiah Thomas
SG: Marcus Thornton
SF: Tyreke Evans
PF: Thomas Robinson
C: Demarcus Cousins
I like it. Tyreke might end up being moved for a starter at SF/PG, but i really like the thought of Robinson teaming up with Cousins down low. Will be a great rebounding duo for many years.

Raptors plan to amnesty Calderon, wouldn't mind him for a year to help bring Marshall along I guess, neither can score or play defense so he they are perfect for each other
why does it seem like the wolves are ready to give up on derrick williams already?
Hes the latest to be talked about in a possible Gasol deal. I would imagine that Beasley would be involved as well in a S&T.

I don't think Marshall needs any help. He just needs guys to pass to.

Meet your rivals for the next decade (SG/SF will probably change).
Current Roster:
Rondo/(Bradley)
Bradley/
Pierce/Joseph
Sullinger/Johnson
Melo/Stiemsma
Obviously need depth at the wing and are way young up front (though I think Sully will be productive right away as long as he's healthy)
Lets say KG, Pietrus, and Green come back...
Rondo/(Bradley)
Bradley/Pietrus
Pierce/Green/Joseph
Sullinger/(Garnett)/Johnson
Garnett/Melo/Stiemsma
(or KG at 4 with Melo starting)
We'll say KG came in at $9m, Pietrus vet min, and Green ~$2m.
That puts the C's at ~$45m with $15m to spare (or thereabouts). Bring in OJ Mayo for a biggish deal ($24m/3y) and give Camby $3m or so (he's worth way more than the vet min and everyone knows it).
As of now, Kings' projected starting lineup going into next year;
PG: Isaiah Thomas
SG: Marcus Thornton
SF: Tyreke Evans
PF: Thomas Robinson
C: Demarcus Cousins

Ideally, the Kings find some way to add a wing defender without a major trade so it looks something like
