So there's a reason why the Kings are terrible—they passed on Lillard when they could have picked him next after already owning Cousins.
Any reasonable team would have selected a guard to pair with him.
The Warriors at the seventh pick chose "North Carolina Blackhawk" Harrison Barnes, forming the Warriors' left arm (headed by Curry, right arm Thompson).
While watching the draft, a pop-up news alert on his phone caught his attention.
Windhorst had posted again, updating the range of teams James was interested in.
Apart from the New York Knicks, James was also interested in The West's Clippers and Spurs.
It seemed like his request to go to the New York Knicks had been rejected by Riley.
Windhorst mentioned in the article that the Clippers had not previously been associated with "success."
And James, having led Cavaliers to success in Cleveland, was very interested in doing the same in Los Angeles.
