If they take Simmons, we have a perfect fit and compliment to Randle in Ingram. Take the Duke star, play him at the 3 next to Randle at the 4 for a decade plus.
If they take Ingram, you obviously take Simmons. Luke is able to lure an under utilized superstar in the making Harrison Barnes in FA. Play Barnes at the 3, Simmons at the 4, and move Randle to 5, a la Draymond Green.

Are we just going to keep ignoring defense? |

No, no, no. Here is the solution to this major problem. If the Sixers draft Simmons, Lakers HAVE to draft Ingram. And if the Sixers draft Ingram, Lakers HAVE to draft Simmons. Lakers must do this to solve this major problem!!!! _________________ Because we're better than you! |

I did laugh when I read that. I was not expecting to read "Harrison Barnes" after superstar. |

when has Harrison Barnes become a superstar???
the golden state system only works if we have shooters like Curry and Klay. |

In this scenario it would have to be Simmons at the 5 not Randle. |

I don't know what's the worst part. The fact you think Barnes is a superstar or that you want to play Julius at the 5.
Not even Draymond (who is miles away from Randle on defense) plays as a center full time. |

Both of you have it all wrong. The solution to the problem depends on whom the Sixers don't draft. If the Sixers don't draft Ingram, then the Lakers should draft Ingram. On the other hand, if the Sixers don't draft Simmons, then the Lakers should take Simmons.

Randle and Simmons are redundant. If you take Simmons, you have to move Randle, unless the plan is for him to come off the bench. |

Lol this is WAY under thinking things. They are not redundant - they may not "mesh" well together on paper however they are two totally different players. All Simmons has to do is develop his outside shot - which given his insane touch and athleticism I don't see that being a problem. The dude is a shooting guard in a 6-10 body, with great shooting form. hes going to have zero problems developing an outside shot. It's just going to take a year or two. You don't "have to move" anyone. I'll be more than happy with Ingram or Simmons. We will make it work. And if Randle and Simmons can't mesh together, you bring one of them off the bench for a while until a better situation presents itself _________________ "Bryant has been the second best player in the NBA for over a decade, but the number 1 player changes every other year.

Not sure if Randle is redundant.
But you can also move Nance.
Let Randle be the backup PF and backup C.
Get a starting Center in FA and have a 3 headed front court at the PF/C spot.
That's if Randle would accept a role off the bench. |

We had a problem with #2 pick until this thread solved that issue? Can we send this logic to Mitch? |

Ingram is a much more obvious fit with our existing young players than Simmons. That said, our existing young players are not proven enough to make that a factor in who we choose -- anyway, the 76ers will decide our pick for us.
If we end up with Simmons, there isn't a need to make a quick decision on anyone else. This is not a process that will snap into this place this year. That said, it might present an ideal time to move Randle, if a good deal arises. I'm not sold on the guy myself. |

If 76ers draft Simmons he will just sign with the Lakers once his rookie contract is up.

That's what he will tell the 76ers before signing the rookie contract with them. |

When picking second in a two person draft, the solution is to pick the other guy?
Got it.
