Witty and as insightful as ever, Diggity.

Let's make a small play

[lakerboy]

Unreal.

5dimes has the 76ers +285.

Do we hit it??

I was thinking of taking suns +650

[tony_come]

If you're not a senior/junior go back to college

[existential]

just hope they don't slip to #3, would rather fall out of top 3 all together in that case.

2017 pick is only top 3 protected again, so they'll need to tank again next year if they keep tonight's pick.

2018 pick is unprotected to Philly, so they're going to lose a 1st rounder eventually - just a matter of when. personally, i'd rather it be tonight if they can't get the #1 or #2.

Philly, Brooklyn, Minn.

Stop busting my balls, Giant.

Any idea who the #3 pick is going to be??

I'd rather keep the pick this year, turn into a playoff team next year, and then give Philly some shitty draft pick.

Giant be patient pal. This reminds me of when magic retired and we went thru that sad few years. Eventually it all worked out. Being from the east coast I thank the lakers for some rest. It's not easy anymore to stay up for all those late playoff games year in year out.

[Booya711]

I don't think Simmons is worth the first pick no matter who gets it. 76ers are just failures over and over so would rather the lakers get the pick. At least they have the pedigree to eventually get of their hole they dug

It worked out because we had the legend Jerry West making brilliant moves. Nowadays he's doing that for Golden State.

How did you end up a Lakers fan anyway?

The first game I watched was the lakers vs celtics. It was an easy choice.

Yeah, it's all over twitter.

Philly has gone from +285 to +260 in the last 20 minutes or so.

No idea if it's true or not.

They dropped to +260 on 5Dimes an hour ago.

Does Dikembo really know??

Bender perhaps. i know Mitch went to Israel to see him play and other teams have talked about him at #3 or #4

no chance they make the playoffs next year unless all of these happen: get #1 + Durant signs + sign solid 2nd tier guy

that said, it'll probably be hard for them to finish top 3 pick next year because of whatever new additions, natural progression, and Walton

[frogsrangers]

NBA needs a strong Lakers team this one will be rigged for them

[Ghenghis Kahn]

i think simmons is overrated. lsu didn't even make the dance.

[tony_come]
