If we can get a legit center that's good too, but we don't need more pfs with Randle, nance, and Deng. The only true wing on the roster currently is Ingram and then you got nwaba and brewer. I don't want brewer getting many mins. I wouldn't be mad with a guy like bacon.
Dlo
Jackson
Ingram
Randle
Zubac
Clarkson
Nwaba
Bacon
Nance
Mozgov
That's a decent young second unit. |
Mmm, Bacon
thats how my boy GT responds on twitter  |
Bacon is the next jr smith lol. Dunno why he doesn't get a lil more love from ppl |

I'm good with a Ball/Bell draft. We can go a number of ways with the #2 pick but just by how Magic sounds off on Lonzo and Lavar, it looks like he's the favorite right now. In all honesty, I don't really know who I want at #2 because the top of the draft can go any way.
Jordan Bell is set to work out for us next week I believe along with a bunch of other guys. I hope he impresses our staff. He's a well spoken guy who knows what he brings to the table and will play his role. As some of you have been saying I just like the upside and versatility on the defensive end if we have Bell, Nance, and even Nwaba to be our disruptors. I'm just sick and tired of |

Boston's the only team that can prevent him from being a Laker. If the Lakers pass up on him, he's gonna want to go as high as possible. |
It is a 100% in the Lakers best interest to let know Ball he isn't a lock for #2 so that he works out for the 76ers/Suns/Kings.
One of those teams might decide to make a huge offer for #2 if Ball blows them away in a workout. |

if the lakers are willing to trade the #2, the cat is out of the bag and nobody is trading anything BIG
unless its #4 and below

Magic's been praising Lonzo a lot because everybody's been asking him about Lonzo. Everybody already thinks Lonzo to LA is a foregone conclusion. If they asked him about Jackson or Tatum or somebody like that he would praise them a lot too. There were a lot of reports 2 years ago about how we were going to take Okafor so I would take what he says with a grain of salt. He could be leaning towards Ball, but the smoke is heavy this time of year |

Ya - not how trades work.
Everything is for sale at a cost, including the #2 pick. There is no Cat to let out the bag. |

if you trade the #2 or trying to, its already well known you don't like the guy who is desperate to play for your franchise
its not NFL, where the niners trade farm to move up 1 position

There is a difference between shopping your pick and listening to offers.
Lakers could LOVE the guy at #2, they would still listen to offers and they would still consider trading it for the right offer. |

just reading this article on ESPN....
| Quote: | League sources said the concern regarding the Ball-Sixers link is the organization's plan to feature forward Ben Simmons, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft, in a ball dominant, point-forward role next season.
Under those basketball circumstances, it wouldn't appear to be an ideal pairing. |
just leaves a bad taste in my mouth....sounds like a diva that is demanding to be given a feature role |
Or maybe his agent is just trying to get a feel on how realistic it is that the 76er's are considering drafting him, and not inviting him just to check off a box on their due diligence list. |
It would be smart for Lonzo to work out for the Sixers. He'd be a very good fit on that team, and if the Lakers go for JJ, it would be much better for Lonzo if the Sixers have worked him out and are comfortable with him.
If the Lakers are the only team he works out for and they take JJ, I wonder how far Lonzo would fall before someone took him. I'd think Philly, but... |

He would be a solid bet to be picked by Phoenix, Sacramento, or the Knicks if he got past #3. Would be hard to imagine Sacto passing on him at 5 IMO. |

There is no advantage for the Lakers to tell Ball they'll draft him and they should make it clear to him and all the prospects that they are doing their proper due diligence and won't know until the night of the draft. |
