I don't know, but, I'll recognize it immediately if it happens. One thing:::I don't want Bledsoe seeing the light,,,him being in town this Summer working with the team is a concern. They've sat down with him obviously and talked turkey. I can't see anything else, but, they never quit here. They're a small minded, bitter bunch who are petty and vindictive.

[Thread]

Yep, like the D'Backs in '01. The new ownership is still paying millions on the delayed contracts that Colangelo signed as he went for broke. But, those motherfuckers have that WS Title,,,and every fucking game they show the banner/billboard out in center field. Every fucking home game. I sit in that Lazy Boy and I want ta kill. Sometimes I switch channels. Some times I make myself just sit thru it.

Thread, word on the street is the Lakers are set on D'Angelo Russell. Could be a smokescreen but I can't believe Okafor is dropping to #3 or even 4 with the Knicks after being a consensus #1 from Mock drafts last year. I guess he really fucked up his workouts with the Lakers.

Could be smokescreen also could signify confidence in Randle and getting a big in FA ...we will see. Not mad at the Russell pick I wanted either him, Towns or Oakafor would be pleased with any of 'em want Mitch to tak who they believe is the BPA regardless of fit. if that is russell God bless him ...

& I think Media has enabled/talked Mitch out of Oakafor & into Russell. Cowherd has been beating this (go small, not Oak, draft Russell) drum since State rang. All the affiliates have echoed Cowherd's opine. Ever since The Cubes cut Mitch's nets down, Mitch can't fly the high wire anymore. He's grounded and looking for friends, a soft seat, a smiling face. It's so sad.

I think Russell is a safe pick. Okafors defense, FT shooting and conditioning has always concerned me. Having a pass first guard will surely change the scene in L.A. Attracting Free Agents will also be easier.

[Thread]

Nonsense. A goodly portion of these Spurs Fans here are Laker Fans as well. They live & die support of the Spurs, but, they know EVERYTHING about the Lakers. Make it their business to know the Laker's business. They're driven to it---like I drive myself to provide comprehensive oversight on the Suns. That's being a fan. Of course they won't admit that. Too ignorant and afraid to even see it. Think they're two timing their Spurs. Peanut for a brain types. Absolutely adorable though.

[Darth_Pelican]

It looks like the consensus for the first 3 picks is Towns, Okafur, & Russel. After that, no one knows who the Knicks are taking.

It's funny but you are right Deeps knows the fucking Lakers cap better than I do. I guess it's a keep your fiends close and enemies closer type deal ...
But I dont know shit about the Spurs cap so what does that tell you? I do watch the picks they are acquiring in Boston though ...and hope that Smart etc all turn to busts.

porz has a 7-6 wingspan coupled with very good athleticism and 7-1 height and excellent range... you need to try hard not to succed with this.

Whatever happens, you can expect the Knicks to blow this pick by trading it or overreaching on someone outside of the top 4.

I don't know... maybe if they were in the east, but the west. There's no question you need high level point guard play to compete.

I think Okafor kills 2 birds with 1 stone: best chance to have 1 final run with Kobe & best chance to have a Franchise player after Kobe.

Taking that PG probably gives them more W's in 2015-16

Marsh getting some run at outside backer. That could be a good look. Did you want Okafor?

Russell acting more than Rodgers even if he's beaten him thrice. Ugh. I don't know who I wanted. But I'll ride with Russell.

[~O~]

everything... Lebron has been to the finals in the east 5 years in a row... nuff said. While this shit squad drafts every fucking decent prospect in the eastern conference.


You're right. The Lakers take everything and they were the only team being talked about even thought they didn't have the number 1 pick. There's so much revenue to be leeched off of from that Lakers organization. The Knicks on the other hand is a very close second.

I think the Lakers made the pick as a FU to the Knicks. Porzingis looked happy to be drafted but not by the reaction.

[Infinite_limit]

GREAT pick by the Mavericks

[Spur-Addict]

Yeah it is. Was hoping he'd fall

I just hope we don't pick Montrezl or Cliff Alexander

Gambo says he moves in front of Goodwin immediately.

Gambo's sources are good but his opinions are unbelievably lazy.

& that fucked them up (not getting to #1). Blew their mind. Never realized how fortunate they were to get to #2,,,just stood there Lottery night and lamented not going all the way up, then ruminated over it as Minnesota cast their trough with Towns. Mitch started hearing voices and he didn't know whether to shit or go blind.

Though he did pick Booker if Kaminsky was gone.

Sacramento fucked up. WCS was suppose to go lower then 10. Apparently, Justice WInslow's workouts....weren't that inspiring but I didn't like Miami getting him. Porzingis has to live up to the hype that was happening the past two weeks for him to pay off.

Of course, I don't expect any of your to know anything about Hezonja. Hezonja is exactly what the Magic needed like Payton was. Results are displayed on the court however. Hezonja is a premiere scorer and you wouldn't know how athletic he is just by looking at him.

D'Angelo Russell was the steal guard of the draft. Lakers fans should be happy. Philly and New York should be pissed.

Johnson is right where he needed to be and Mudiay dropped far.

Yeah yeah. As long as it wasn't lower than New York's.

But, you could tell that ain't how the Lakers viewed it. Never any candor, never any humility. Just tight lips & flat ears. They wanted their pick of the litter and didn't get it.

The entire conference is being tanked by the league in favor of Lebron. Imagine the tomato can the east would send to the finals if Lebron gets injured.

[da_suns_fan]

Anyone else notice that Jalen Rose always makes a comparison between whoever was drafted to the player he most physically looks like?

[LkrFan]

That's Jimmy passing on Okafor talkingNot really tbh. I heard several interviews with Okafor. His mindset is immature. I want a beast in the post. I don't think he showed the Lakers he had the "it" factor. Russell did.

He's such a good passer that free agents will want to play with him. He's got great size for a PG, good wingspan, and great court vision. I envision him making scrubs look decent.

Yeah, like when he compared Jim to RuPaul? :lol

Laker history told me that Okafor was the pick. I was like 98% sure...but Curry making the Kang bow down signaled a shift in our FO's draft strategy...apparently.

Times have changed. Like I said, 5-6 years ago Okafor is the pick. Can't fault the Lakers from taking a huge risk when the best center was still on the board. Our FO has King Kong balls tbh.

[CitizenDwayne]

His mindset is immature.

How so?

[LkrFan]

How so?I was listening to him on Cowherd. He was asked something stupidlike what was your favorite class at Duke. He said something like enjoying watching Disney cartoons and dissecting cartoon movies or some shit. I was like WTF? I dunno, I was just put off by his responses.

The entire conference is being tanked by the league in favor of Lebron. Imagine the tomato can the east would send to the finals if Lebron gets injured.

I believe the conference is weak in competitiveness. The entire conference falls when they meet LeBron in the playoffs. Other teams believe they've worked hard enough to be legitimate when they really haven't. A LeBron James team isn't difficult to beat. The one trick pony was taken down by teams such as Detroit and Boston. Gritty teams who truly with all around confident players and MAINTAINED...their confidence during the playoffs. Other teams like the Bulls, Pacers, Knicks, etc., deferred when the lights shined. Larry Bird ragged on his Pacers team and I backed him.

Nobody wants to win in the east as of right now. The passion in the east has been sucked dry. There were teams that should have beaten them but their balls shrunk. The Knicks who got eliminated by the Pacers that year when Jason Kidd went ice cold could have beaten the Heat that season. They shrunk in the playoffs.

It isn't rocket science on how to beat LeBron. The playbook hasn't at all changed for the past 5 years for him.

I'm not worried about the Spurs but as for the Magic, they've had three excellent consecutive drafts. Its difficult for various small market teams in a non attractive local to attract free agents. This justifies "some" of the tanking. Orlando is a ghost to, probably my guess, over 90% of nba fans and the league itself as well as other teams but i'll be the first to tell that Orlando specifically is building winner. The process of building after the Howard situation is going well. These three consecutive drafts have been more than successful for the Magic but of course its going to go overlooked.

But as we all know, everything will be about LeBron until its not. Then they'll clean up house and make LeBron look like Jordan after he's left the NBA. James will definitely be serviceable after his youth has left him.



Then Jalen Rose completely dismissed the rest of the Eastern Conference by saying LeBron will once again reach the NBA finals himself. lol. I doubt the
Eastern Conference has the BALLS to respond to that. They haven't for 6 years.

[Silver&Black]

How fitting is it for Dad Killer to take Frank "The Tank" Kaminsky. Tanking at its best....

I want to like the Branden Dawson pick, as he's drawn some comparisons to Draymond Green, but then I remember that Doc is our "coach" and Dawson will never get any minutes to develop.
