The Kings Draft Big Board Got Leaked But More Importantly Vlade's Whiteboard And Nickname

So this picture was tweeted out today. No big deal, right? Awesome for Gabe Vincent to be signing his contract and everyone smiling. No harm there. Until you look at the whiteboard in Vlade’s office.

In order it goes Deandre Ayton, Marvin Bagley, Luka Doncic, Michael Porter Jr., Mo Bamba and then one of the Bridges – it’s unclear whether it’s Miles or Mikal. That’s clearly the draft order that the Kings had for their big board. They took Bagley at 2 obviously once Ayton went to the Suns. It was no secret the Kings liked Porter but his medicals likely scared them away from taking him at No. 2.

But, that’s not even the story here. The story is zoom is to the corner and look at what you see.

The Vladfather! What a goddamn name. Everything about that is perfect and all part of the Vlade legacy. It’s absolutely perfect. I can’t stress how awesome it is. I mean he nails the picture. I can only hope Peja walks around and calls him the Vladfather to his face.

I love the Kings.
