Colin Cowherd said we have to move the pic. That's all I need to know. |

Maybe the one takeaway from Mitch... He said that off the top of his head, there's maybe a handful or maybe two handfuls of players he would trade the pick for. |

Mitch did a 12 minute interview today.
Pretty good interview.
Don't expect any <b>BREAKING NEWS</b> on if they will trade the pick or who they are going to draft with the #2 draft pick this year |
It's pretty much the nothing interview you'd expect.
Our intention is to use the #2 pick. Of course it is, until or unless you trade it.
There isn't a lot of guys we'd trade it. Really -- you mean you're not just going to give it away for anything? Shocking! |

So he'd trade the pick for his ranking of the top 10 players in the 25 - 28 year range.
I say that range, because any younger, that other team is most likely not interested in trading them. Any older, why even bother given the uncertainty of the Laker roster. |

Any guy that comes to mind who we maybe can get is Paul George. |

- Mitch said the Lakers got a bit lucky keeping the draft pick and hopes to get a good player with the draft pick #2.
- He said he wasn't going to agree with it being a two player draft.
- Lakers have been planning that they wouldn't have the pick, so getting the pick is a bonus.
- Then said he thinks the Lakers will get an excellent player with the #2 pick.
- Mitch had a Lakers pen from over 20 years ago in the draft lottery with him for good luck.
- Mitch said he wasn't sure he was allowed to speak about Simmons or Ingram but just said they are both on his list. And said all the players on mock drafts from 1-10, the Lakers have watched a lot of.
- He also said he's confident about the #32 pick as well.
- Mitch said he thinks they got a good player in the draft last year (Russell) who could be great.
- He was asked about Jim's deadline and his job security, then said most of the pressure is self exposed and he had a good relationship with Jim Buss.
- He was asked about trading the pick and spoke about how rookie's contracts are very cheap and it doesn't make a major impact in the cap space until they become free agents.
- He said he thinks the Lakers fans have a great understanding and said the Lakers have got a great core of young players and that they can add two good players to it from this year's draft.
- He said he knows the Lakers fans expect the team to make improvement this season.
- He was asked about teams going small-ball nowadays in the NBA and asked if small-ball approaches can work in the NBA and said that it is Luke's plan similar to how the Warrios play but said the Warrios have much better players than the Lakers currently do at the moment.
- He mentioned how he watched game one between Warriors Vs OKC the other day how exciting it was with the pace of it. But he said teams will still need a couple of big guys (7 ft) on it. _________________ Coach MWP. |

Mitch said there are a hand full of players that he would consider moving the pick for. Let me try and guess his list.
Paul George
Demarcus Cousins
Jimmy Butler
Blake Griffin
Kevin Durant (maybe a sign and trade where we can offer him more money?)
Personally the only one i do off that list is Paul George _________________

I really hope we keep the pick. That said, only players I'd trade it for are
Lebron James
Stephen Curry
Anthony Davis
Paul George
Demarcus Cousins
Kawhi Leonard
Karl Anthony Towns
Just off the top of my head. No to Durant or Westbrook because of their upcoming free agency, I wouldn't do it for Griffin, probably not for Butler. I know a lot of these aren't even realistic, so 99% chance we keep our pick. I'm really liking our roster right now and the idea of building for the future. |
