- Less pressure
- Chance of getting either Town or Okafor. Trust me, Lakers can choose either one by pressuring their agent and Minnie will select the Lakers reject even if Minnie got the 1st Pick. Funny how that work when you're the Lakers
-Lakers win BIG in this one. I must congrats you to Lakers fan.

I wanted Karl Anthony Towns, but I think we end up with Jahlil Okafor

dont know if it's that good. I mean we'll draft Okafor but D'angelo or mudiay can turn better than him. I guess the Blazers also found that Perkins and Oden were no brainers in relation to Jordan and Durant.

I guess they've to evaluate all scenarios, a trade for either the second pick or Randle for a proven player...dont know

I like Russell, but Towns and Okafor are most likely top 2. Amazing we're going to get one of them.

If Minny drafts a big. And we don't.
Wonder if we could make a trade for Dieng down the road. Or maybe pekovic

So nice to have hope again. Kobe Clarkson Randle coming back how pumped is he going to be and maybe a max player. If we get an Alridge?? Arent we looking a lot sweeter to him now?

The moment I saw that it was Philly's logo in that envelope we stick in my mind forever... Especially if the pick turns into the next great LAKER

I have never had a hard time picking between Okafor or Town but if there is one to separate between the two, then it is Town defensive instinct. I would lie to you if I'm not impress with Okafor physical attribution. He got that transcend physical tool, adding with his skill, that is a star in the making. But Town defense and his offensive repertoire allow the team play off him meanwhile can feel safe he will anchor on the defensive end. Town has that 90s era center, a two way center. Lakers MUST get Town and I'm confident they will get him. It is just a matter to letting Town agent know so Town will deny a workout with Minnie. Beside I think Minnie will pick up Okafor anyway. He fits that team.

Interesting thought but why do the Sixers move up to take another Center when they got 2 the last two drafts?

Mitch won't have to make a choice between Okafor and Towns.

He's guaranteed to get Russell if he wants.

Great position to be in after any crappy season.

The Lakers can have 3 studs on rookie contracts and a whole ton of cap space for a rebuild. (Big free agency this offseason. We got to get someone to help draw free agents when everyone else has cap space in 2016 with the huge cap increase.)

Between towns and Okafor I prefer Okafor but we will probably end up with towns. Okafor is going to be a star. He had limited space to operate in college even with the great spacing duke played with. The NBA game will make it much tougher to clog the paint against him and send doubles with his passing ability. He should go first without a doubt. I'm not sure if towns is a star or not honestly but hes n intriguing prospect and well rounded.


IM happy to have either.
