I feel Konchar is going undrafted.
I'm guessing you see some FVV in Waters? |

Hmm. Konchar could go undrafted cuz he’s white. Haha. But I think his talent is pretty clear. Still wild to me that Huerter wasn’t a lotto or fringe lotto pick in his draft..
With Waters, I just like all around offensive guards, and I think he can be that. I watched more his Fresh year but his scoring/pull-up chops looked like they could develop into something special. And I think his Soph year he was more heady and seasoned as a facilitator. Same assist% but he looked more measured |

The Cash limit for next season will be about $5,600,000.
Cleveland has #26 (Houston) and is eating the Knight contract for that pick Brooklyn has #27 (Denver) and ate the Arthur and Faried contracts for that pick.
If late first round picks were available for a price of $5.6 million. Cleveland and Brooklyn would have bought them rather than eat multiples of that in bad salary. |

I am expecting them to buy a late second. Buying an early second might not be possible. No idea if they will try to trade a future second and cash for a relatively early second. |

The Lakers need to field a team somehow. Buying a pick might be smart, especially with out scouting Dept.

I think we can find a solid rotation player in the second round given our scouting department. |

And that player would have to either be signed with available capspace or stashed overseas, correct? Still possibly better than a FA if we find the right one. |

| Where’s THT going? Early 2nd? He’s a guy I’d be interested in grabbing. Young but has an nba body. |

Same for Bolden.
But if DeLaurier is available, that's the guy. |
Questionable work ethic?
As an athlete Vick reminds me of Miye. Had a real good shooting year.
Bolden is a serviceable big for me. Good height, length with the size to play in the NBA.
My preferences are just based on YT vids as I never specifically watched these players during the season.
I just believe if the Lakers acquire a 2nd round pick or sign UDFA's they will target players they have worked out. |
Vick has proof of offcourt issues, with or without Josh Jackson. Red Flag stuff imho.
Bolden never lived to his potential at Duke.

I don't think Lakers are going to waste roster spots on 2nd rounders.
I see 0 activity Thursday unless it's trading wagner |

That'd be a poor decision.
Big difference in filling out a roster when there's basically 8 roster spots to fill remaining. Forget 2nd rounders. I don't trust this FO. But young, talented UDFAs?
That's worth it. We did that with Johnathan Williams and Jemario Jones (drafted SBL), so why not do it again?

If the core of the roster is:
LeBron, Davis, 30% max FA, Room Exception and Wagner; the roster will need 9 minimum salary players if they stop at 14 so there is a roster slot left open for a waived/buyout player.
They could have 1 - 2 young players signed for the minimum that would be in the G-League for the entire season unless injuries forced call ups to the parent team. |

I guarantee that there will be at least one player eligible for this draft on our final roster. It would be a gross mismanagement to fill out the end of the bench with broken washed vets in my opinion. |

I'd take him over Barrett!

Darius Garland will conduct a last-minute workout in Tarrytown with the New York Knicks tomorrow, a source told ESPN. Garland is in serious consideration for the No. 3 pick. Minnesota, Boston, Chicago are teams looking at potentially trading up to No. 4 with Garland in mind. |

never understood why Barrett was always considered an indisputable top 3 pick. His jumpshot is not reliable and I dont see enough from his game that really wows me.

If Knicks pick Garland #3 and RJ falls to #4 then maybe Pelicans keep it?

| Aubrey Dawkins- hope the Lakers sign him as undrafted free agent shooting guard. 40% career average on threes. |

Yep. I'm rooting for Terance Mann or Juwanna Mann. One of those 2.
