That was when they had the best overall odds, a 25% chance of the number one pick, and they dropped all the way to four.
And then they dropped to five in 2010 when they took Boogie.
But let's ignore that part of the story.
Focus on the fact that not only have the Kings positioned themselves for a top pick this season, they have control of all their first round picks through 2030.
And I have to say through 2030 because they did send a swap to San Antonio in 2031.
If you get a chance, friend of the pot, Anthony Slater wrote an article for ESPN this week about the Kings and detailed how Vivek nudged his front office to sweeten the deal to the Spurs to get DeMar DeRozan, which led to them giving up that swap in 2031.
Listen, this is definitely a bad because the Kings feel light years away from playoff contention at this point.
But at the very least, they are not the irrelevant, meandering, low 30s win team that so many of us projected in the preseason.
And for that, this bad's looking pretty good, Andrew, I'd say.
They're doing what they should be doing.
This bad's looking pretty good.

That's why comparing him and Trey Young.
One, Trey Young, outside of this season, has been relatively healthy.
He has several seasons playing more than 70 games recently.
He was an all-star last year.
Trae Young was.
So then why would the return for Ja, and you're committing a lot to him.
A lot.
