    The Lakers better not give up the #2, Randle, and Clarkson, or I'll be furious. That said, I'm not against acquiring Cousins completely, but the Lakers would also need to at least have someone like Thibs in place for the long haul to handle him. Byron Scott needs to go regardless, so I'd be scared about a Cousins-Scott combo for anything longer than a year.

    Lakers desperately need a great coach who can also be a VP (like the Rivers' set-up with the Clippers), the franchise needs major help organizationally.

    Anthony Bennett going #1 means anything can happen with that first pick. NBA drafts seem to go the most 'against plan.'

    Ever since the draft lottery the Lakers have been projected to take Duke big man Jahlil Okafor with the number 2 pick in the draft. However, according to multiple sources including ESPN's Chad Ford, that line of thinking has changed and Mitch Kupchak is now expected to select Ohio State guard D'Angelo Russell.

    Mitch also apparently thinks Russell can play alongside Clarkson. There's a ton of big men FA's, but not nearly as many guards. That could be the deciding factor to pass on Okafor.

    I like Okafor more than Russell, but it makes sense if they can land Alrdige/Cousins/Monroe.
