If you could go back in time would you take Chris Taft over Turiaf?

Sadly, I would have to go with Taft. He has great potential as well, was actually projected to go the #1 overall at one point and had always been projected first round.

I would rather have Taft, and it has nothing to do with Turiaf's heart condition.

Hell no. Turiaf will be one of the best lakers of all-time - you heard it here first.

Rambis is one of the all-time favorite Laker. Why? Because of his hustle and "heart". Turiaf will add his own folklore in Laker history because of his hustle and "heart".

I would go back in time and ask you not to put up another silly poll.

I would of still chose Turiaf.....You dont find the type of player that Ronny is often. And when he comes back he'll be stronger and better than ever.

Turiaf. He will be better than B. Grant someday.

If we could go back in time we might as well take manu and any other player that we could get that became good.

why does it have to be between Turiaf and Taft? If I had a chance id definitley pick Taft over Wafer. I have no idea why we didnt..we could of had an awseome front court when all our players were healthy and ready. I think Wafer could of definitley gone under the radar and would of been a nice spl invitee.

Turiaf over Taft, Taft over Wafer. I have a feeling there will be some teams regretting they didn't take Taft, us being one of them. Taft will contribute this year.

Turiaf. There is no doubt in my mind he will be back next year playing like a wild man once again.

Taft on the other hand has yet to show he even really WANTS to play ball and will have a hard time beating Diogu for minutes.

Mods could we keep the 12yrs off the site.

this troll.

Turiaf had heart problems, but they have been repaired. Taft has another kind of heart problem, but it remains to be seen, whether or not, it will be repaired. The Lakers don't believe Taft has the motivation to take it to the NBA level.
