Fukking Lakers better not draft Russell

[t-wizzle]

76ers need to draft this kid. He is perfect for the style of play they want to run.

Really worried the Lakers will end up taking him.

[tony_come]

Who's Russell

[gauchojake]

Enjoy Porzingis

Fukk that.

If they did, the Knicks would get Okafor. I don't think what OP said is true, but dare to dream.

[gauchojake]

If the Lakers don't get Boogie in a trade, all indications are that they will take Russell.

[BigDeem5]

Only post of t wizzles that has made sense.

Russell is best player in draft

[mikemca]

Okafor's stock seems to have dropped...Anyone know why?

[lakerboy]

Reports indicate lakers are getting him. Pitino had very high praise. I will be happy as I can't stand okafor.

[texhooper]

while i was sitting here eating lunch, the odds that russel would go before porzingis went from -530 to -720. so that's not a good sign if you don't want the lakers to take him.

I hope lakers don't expect to get aldridge because hes made it clear he wants to play in San Antonio.
They will def get Love though, i actually think T-wolves are gonna take Okafor and lakers will be left with Towns.

Wow its like everything you think is wrong lol. Towns is the first pick, its not really a debate at this point. And theres no way love is going to the lakers haha.

How is it not a debate? lmao you must have never watched a draft before and more importantly seen T-wolves draft lately.
And what makes you think Lakers cant get Love?

[Scorpion]

when is the draft?

[klemopixx]

Sixers will end up taking Okafor then trading him for a boatload of picks. Boston already offered their two first rounders but they pick too late. Watch Okafor go to Orlando for the 5th pick and next year's #1.

[t-wizzle]

Towns is the obvious 1. I've been saying since December that Russell would be the best all around player in this draft. Sure enough the rest of the league finally caught on.

[klemopixx]

Okafor is dropping because his defense is so-so. The kid is a rebounder and low post scorer, good passer too. Crappy from the foul line 60%

True but he also has a bad work ethiic

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

his defense is not that bad.

[Darkside Magick]

Russell the best player in the draft.....why he not a consensus number 1 is beyond me!

[existential]

Plays no defense, very unathletic, inconsistent rebounding, poor rim protector.

Yes, I'd say the Spurs have the edge at this point because he really respects Pop and their organization, but Aldridge does live in Orange County in the offseason, so that makes the Lakers a legit contender.

As for the rest of your post, not in a million years would the Wolves take Okafor before Towns. You literally must be drunk to believe they'd even consider doing that.

Lakers aren't a legit anything with or without Aldridge. West is too loaded.

A legit contender for Aldridge's services, learn to read.

dont mind smith the thought of the lakers being good again makes him irritated

[The Giant]

I don't think anyone has any idea what's going to happen, but there is growing speculation that the Lakers are leaning towards Russell.

If that happens, Love or Aldridge won't be far behind.

[jsmithj88]

Why lakers fans so sensitive?
Y'all suck dik and will continue to so so for a long long time.

Same shit fool. Lakers are not contenders for Aldridge. And won't be contenders with him. He's not joining a sunken ship.

but he wants to go o dallas or san an who are both over the hill gangs?

If that happens, the Lakers should then move Randle because he'd be worth a lot more to them in a trade than he would be on the bench backing-up either one of them. Randle can't play SF and neither Love or Aldridge can play Center, so no place for Randle as a starter in that scenario.

That said, reports from the Lakers state Randle's lost 20 pounds and his outside shot has improved. Of course, this could simply be a game of chess to increase Randle's value, especially considering he's coming off a significant injury. This isn't to say that Randle hasn't in fact improved, but I certainly wouldn't put it past the Lakers to release this info solely for market purposes.

Either the Cousins trade goes down eventually with Randle being included, or Randle can get moved for a nice piece in return if they land Love or Aldridge. Or they just keep Randle if neither of those happen, so the Lakers have plenty of options with Randle.

And if the Lakers take Russell, they can also move Clarkson in the same way that they could move Randle should they get Love or Aldridge.

[The Giant]

Existential, it sounds like we are reading/hearing the exact same things about Randle.

I don't think the Lakers would be wise to invest all their assets in Cousins. I don't claim to be an NBA talent scout, but this guy seems to be a loser to me. Great stats, but no winning. Bad attitude. All around cancer. They don't need him, especially at such a steep price.
