I can see LA pushing hard to trade for a Paul George or Cousins and if they whiff, taking the guy that's left over and pushing for the top FA's they can get even if they aren't good long-term fits.
I also prefer rebuild route ...That's the thing. I'm perfectly content with a slow rebuild. 1992-1996 were some of favorite years as a Laker fan. Those teams were fun. We picked up several young players, then when the time was right, positioned ourselves to sign Shaq and "draft" Kobe.
, we "traded" for Pau, anything can happen tbh.
If there is some redundancy big deal we need talent ...
You haven't got it for the past six years! Lmao!
The 5th galvanized me. We took 5>4 away from you forever. I can rest now.
Why would Indy want to trade their franchise player?
They wouldn't. But there are already reports of this.
It's a crap shoot slicer, you never know but this draft does not awe me either like the last few years. Someone has to be ROY though
Kobe made sense when we had Eddie Jones. You draft BPA, period.
How does ass taste, Spur s?
Lakers gonna S&T the pick for DeFrozan so he gets that fifth year.
Bust Simmons
He led LSU to a 19-14 record
Call it right now, asshole. How many games are the Lakers winning next season.
Just gotta see what Chaz stirs up.
True. Mitch shot that media induced rumor down. Essentially saying he is not looking to trade the pick. However, if it were #3, I think he aggressively looks to trade it.
Kobe was a project. And Eddie Jones had a lot of trade value, since he was an all-star and all-defensive selection.
Julian is a 6'7" PF with small arms and no jumper.
You !Bust Simmons

I'd publicly encourage & serious consider any & all offers.
Kobe used to practice with the 6ers as a 16 year old. The Lakers traded their starting center for him. Logo (best eye for talent in NBA history) called him our best player "already" during his pre-draft workout. Project.
76ers is almost guaranteed to pick Simmons because his total skill set separates him from Ingram, most GM would draft him on that merit alone. As much as what the media wants some of y''all to believe, his shooting woes alone isn't enough to bring his stock down. There's a reason they are called "prospects" and Simmons all around game gives these GM's massive hard ons
Even if Ben skips a personal workout with the 76ers, he'll most likely still end as the 1st pick of the draft. And just because Philly is front loaded with Okafor, Noel, Embiid, it doesn't mean they can't trade some of them away. Okafor will be shopped and traded in the summer, he was dangled mid season so it shouldn't be a surprise if Colangelo's turns him into a couple of win now, locker room glue guys.
I like Ingram mainly because of the fit and finding a premium shooting perimeter player with a knack on defense will put the Lakers development right on track. Of course, worst case scenario Philly gets too cute and goes for Ingram, Lakers gets a consolation price in Simmons. it, we'll take him too...
I am already ready for the draft.

Simmons make NO sense for the Sixers. They are loaded in the front court and are in desperate need of perimeter firepower. Read all the projections. Not one analyst thinks the Sixers will go with Simmons.
If the Lakers don't like Simmons, I would look at going off on BOS and getting multiple picks. BOS was willing to unload a ridiculous amount of picks last year to CHA so they could get Winslow, so I can imagine they would be willing to do the same this year.
I would seriously consider trying to net multiple firsts for that 2nd pick and getting multiple pieces.
Just admit it, you're ready for Luva's Game 2.
tee, hee.
You wanna make a bet? $500 good for you? I don't have to talk myself into something lmao...my input has no bearing in reality. Simmons will go first, Ingram is a niche player. Simmons has Superstar status, Lakers would die to have him but Philly gets first dibs.

Dead serious about hat $500 bet btw...
For who though? No one is lining up to help the Lakers tbh.
Give it time and at least put the information out there.
Let somebody else buy it.
Mitch would do that, but that would be akin to Cuban (Celtics) trading with RC Buford (Spurs). Not happening.
