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.) |

Smart predatory move right here.... We can really parlay this into something SICK |
Then use #3 to pick up Russell... I like. |
Lol Philly would not do that unless we draft Russell at 2. They want Russell |
Yeah wishful thinking on my part. They already have Embiid and Noels. _________________ Alltime lineup: Magic | Kobe | MJ | Hakeem | KAJ |

Agreed. They are rumoured to want out. Sounds perfect.
Or trade the 27th and 34th plus next year's first rounder for their number 4.
Then sign and trade Hill for a second rounder next year.
And follow that up with a Young trade also. Acquire picks for next year. |

LMAO, Towns and Okafor agents will both be pressuring Minny to take one or the other. It will be a slugfest behind closed doors.
I believe this, and Minny has a much stronger core right now, but I think that is just the Lakers. |

We take Russel a 2 ... you don't pass up a chance to get the what could turn out to be next Steph Curry, who I think is the best player in the NBA. Russell has no apparent weakness whereas the 2 bigs have weakness that you HOPE they can iron out. The we get Russell Westbrook in a couple of years to make a Russell-Russell back court, with Clarkson coming off the bench. You sign Marc Gasol as a FA and boom, we're back baby. |

The idea that Russell has no weaknesses is crazy. |

Just a reminder that the Lakers pick still goes to Philly next year if it's not top-3. |

Exactly....Philly does not need another big. Or, trade the #2 pick to Sacramento for Boogie Cousins. |

Not to mention a Cap thats about to jump to 90-100M. Hope all the haters got their licks in. |
Guys, we got that piece now to attract FA's his name is Towns/Okafor. Things are definitely looking up in Laker-Land. _________________ Game 3 Victory in Denver . Mostly they were talking about Fisher's speech, the kind that might one day be put on T-shirts and repeated on the corner of 11th and Figueroa, words fit for a parade, his Lakers stepping into their destiny.
