Jackson is a pretty good prospect but I think they will go with Ball due to shipping off D-Lo. Ideally I would like to see them take Fox and then somehow trade back up to get Lauri Markkanen but I doubt they can package something to get back into the top 12. LMA is old, PG13 has told the Lakers not to sell the farm for him. Should be an interesting draft either way.kv wrote:I don't want to trade the two now that we shipped dlo we better be grabbing a guard (ball, fox or Jackson) and not reaching for George without having a PG in place

Re: NBA
Ya with dlo trade just has to be ball...but any of the three I am happy today...hope if he makes it past us fox gets to creep
At least the George talk will keep the draft exciting till we get to 27..I tink the pacers are dumb if they don't take our trade today...but whatever I can wait the year

Re: NBA
I mean if the offer is 27/28 a future 1st and then Randle/Clarkson packaged to make salaries work that is probably the best they will get but BOS is looming as they have a lot of young players and picks.kv wrote:Ya with dlo trade just has to be ball...but any of the three I am happy today...hope if he makes it past us fox gets to creep

Re: NBA
The draft for the Lakers used to be for people who never made the team...or deep bench mark madsens...ya this is way more meaningful...today anyway...two years down the road we could be dumping this pick for salary space again
Lottery is just stress though

Re: NBA
Yeah not sure how many we'll keep but even holding on to Lopez for this season will help Zubac develop as well. I like the pick of the kid out of Villanova as well, that is a good value pick for someone that could be a solid rotation player.
Re: NBA
I think that this draft getting PG13 now or not was really good, got a lot of valuekv wrote:That Bryant kid is a physical freak...6'11 with a 7'6 wingspan?! Wtf how is that even possible? A 9'5 standing reach!
And ya Nova kid was lucky to fall to us.
Re: NBA
Phil Jackson out in NY...kinda funny how they wanted to fire him when he drafted porzingas...then just listening to trade offers 2 years later gets him shitcanned...I always said Phil is a great coach...but wtf does he know about being the pres or GM...Lakers dodged a fucking bullet...if Mitch and Jimmy buss prevented that alone cheers to em

Hmm, new GM for the Raptors - Bobby Webster. Don't know anything about him. Well, I didn't know anything about the previous GM either, so I really don't have an opinion.
I don't think Kyle Lowry should be signed again. I like him, he's a fan favourite, but he's not any getting younger. He's also prone to a lot of injuries. I think Norman Powell would be a good choice to play as point guard.
