???
Kirbs/Williams (same as above. You sign him regardless)
Clarkson

Very nice core to build around going forward when Kirb's contract comes off the books.

On the contrary, they knew they were getting none of those 3. Love was sealed in Cleveland, LMA wanted no part of them, and neither did Jordan. There was a pretense of interest, because they couldn't help themselves, not once, but, twice.

But maybe they thought they could beg one of them to join, according to some Laker fans here, and I don't think they were being totally delusional. If a certain player had stayed on holiday a bit longer (instead of returning to LA and joining the begging movement) LMA would've probably accepted Lakers offer already imho. I think it's better to say LMA wanted no part of a certain player rather than the Lakers as a team tbh.

Lakers can still pick up the other Okafor though, he's a FA currently. In fact he hasn't played any game in NBA since 2013, well rested imho. Fitness question? Non issue, Kobe only played 41 more games than Okafor did during the same period, and some Lakers fans (like Kool) believe Kobe will still come back strong and continue to lead this team (probably to hell, though). If Kobe can manage a great comeback next season, there's no reason to doubt Okafor's ability to do the same, and he is 4yrs younger than Kobe.

that is clearly the idea, but so far noel has shown no clue about pick and roll D, help D, making a jumper, making a free throw, passing.. in general he has stone hands and poor bbiq and he is actually a bigger defensive problem than okafor who does the job he's supposed to do. I understand why they want to run as much as they can, but it makes the pairing that much hard to stomach. Noel should just improve in his fundamentals and that's it, no need to use gimmicky offensive schemes. If he can't learn to play than just leave him in free agency.

that is clearly the idea, but so far noel has shown no clue about pick and roll D, help D, making a jumper, making a free throw, passing.. in general he has stone hands and poor bbiq and he is actually a bigger defensive problem than okafor who does the job he's supposed to do. .

What a horrible, misguided post SMH

I was once told by the Spur fans here that it makes no sense to compare a G to a C/PF so now all of a sudden it is different? No matter what your mom told ya ... size matters. Much easier for a big to put up empty stats for team even shittier than the Lakers when you are playing heavy minutes. Like I said repeatedly he is going to be good, but I still dont regret our pick. My only regret was not being lucky enough to get the real stud of this draft, Towns.

Not really. When I watch the Sixers I think dude has some great post moves very impressive that at 20 his moves are better than Dwight on the block. But I dont think oh man we have to have him we missed on out on the poor man's Timmy. When I watch TOwns I think FUCK!!! one more spot higher and we have a true potential #1 to build around ...
FOr the record I doubt Druss will be a #1 either or Porzingis (on a title team) Towns was the only true sure-fire franchise player. Porzingis looks legit but dont see him as the best player on a title team ... but hey some said the same about Dirk and he proved that wrong.

The 6ers need a couple of pieces to be competitive. Their backcourt is absolutely atrocious, and just doesn't have the right personnel to feed the ball into the middle.
Jahlil is a solid 3rd wheel, a player where you expect him to score and do nothing else, sort of like a poor man's Bob McAdoo, or a Shareef Abdul Rahim type.

Jahlil is clearly a gifted scorer, and he has shown to be a great pickup for the 6ers. Sure they could have gone with Porzingis but nobody saw that coming, and it's not like the Knicks are doing great right now.

As for D'Bustelo, I gotta say I would likely eat crow on that one. Didn't expect him to actually resemble an NBA player one day, but kudos to him for fighting off cancer and pulled a Nene. He's probably not going to lead the Lakers anywhere, as he is probably going to better serve a backup sixth man instant offense role on a contender, like what the Microwave used to do, or what Jamal Crawford is doing. He's got to fix his efficiency though, it's bad, even for a Lakers guard.

Some fair points ...don't agree with all of this but this election season leaves me no energy to argue about trivial shit. I haven't seen anything that tells me Oak can be a #3 on a contender and I would argue the same for Russ as well. Both are still young ...so I will reserve final judgment ...

But everytime he shows a couple flashes Spur fan jumps on his tip like a crack fiend
Right now all rookies from last year even Porzingis is looking up at the Kentucky kids Booker and especially KAT.
I haven't watched one game of Mudiya, porky, oak and said "damn ...why did we draft Russ?!"
But when I watch Booker I do feel some pangs of jealousy ...
Of course Kat does the same but he was off the board...
Myles Turner is my honorable mention ...I don't see some huge gap between him and oak ...and Turner is the better fit in a spacing offense oak has a more polished game.

Myles Turner is my honorable mention ...I don't see some huge gap between him and oak ...and Turner is the better fit in a spacing offense oak has a more polished game.

KAT is the real deal, but we already all knew that and that's why he was chosen #1. I don't know if he will be some transformation talent like Shaq or Duncan, but I can see him being a healthy Yao Ming or even a KG type of player from an impact perspective. All Star, maybe even MVP level, but not top 10 all time talent.

Porzingis is unique in his game, he's a 7'4" SF, and he seems to have the tough mentality to go along with it. He needs to bulk up a little, work a little on his inside moves, and then understand defensive rotations better and I think he'd be a great player. I know people talk about him being like Dirk, but I actually see him being more like a KG with less defense.

I think Oak can be a #3 in the way Klay Thompson was a #3 on a title team, offense is always welcomed in the league, but he has just way too many flaws on the defensive end.
Booker I think is more because of opportunities and system. I am not yet totally sold on him, but may change my mind.
As for D'Busto, I don't think this is the year, but next year will be his make or break. Maybe he can morph into a Chauncey Billups type of player at some point, but I am not counting on that.

I'll take the L. I still believed in the bigs win titles philosophy back then, but players like Big Oak are obviously obsolete in today's chucking oriented game. Today's game has given career shitters like Anthony Tolliver a reprieve on their career. Scored 25 points tonight :lol When an Anthony Tolliver is a threat for that many points, it really is :lol Today's NBA.
Okafor would still be a bust in the "bigs win titles" era because of his atrocious rebounding and defense, though. He's literally never developed any skill other than post moves.

Its not even that Russell has been that much better (he has though) ...but just how shitty the takes were under the guise of "trollin Lakerfan" when the reality it was just dumb hoops takes ...

russell still has a potential to become an all star. he definitely has the talent. the issue with him was his immaturity. he’ll get better in time. considering how the league values scoring guards, kid has a future in the league.

there’s a good chance okafor has played his last season in the nba.

Agreed however despite all the jokes i would take a cheap flyer if he is willing to be a bench big ..and understands he wont get regular closing mins. I think he can score on bench bigs.

all star maybe a fringe one in weaker East ...but hiscknee troubles worry me ...but even with shaky knees been far more productive and effective than Baby Duncan ...

His post game looks veteran out there and he can already pass out doubles quite well, unlike dumbshits like Dwight, who seem to panic.

Very smooth player. He's totally dominated our Summer League guys in this 3rd.

Okafor is fundamentally sound and has what I call old man game which means he will probably have great career longevity along with not being injury prone.

Some fair points ...don't agree with all of this but this election season leaves me no energy to argue about trivial shit. I haven't seen anything that tells me Oak can be a #3 on a contender and I would argue the same for Russ as well. Both are still young ...so I will reserve final judgment ...

But everytime he shows a couple flashes Spur fan jumps on his tip like a crack fiend
Right now all rookies from last year even Porzingis is looking up at the Kentucky kids Booker and especially KAT.
I haven't watched one game of Mudiya, porky, oak and said "damn ...why did we draft Russ?!"
But when I watch Booker I do feel some pangs of jealousy ...
Of course Kat does the same but he was off the board...
Myles Turner is my honorable mention ...I don't see some huge gap between him and oak ...and Turner is the better fit in a spacing offense oak has a more polished game.

Wow someone with a clue ...:lol

Oh! So you think I think he’s on Duncan’s level? I think you misread. I said those were moves reminisce of a young Duncan.

I really haven’t seen those moves from a big since then. But since you raised MVPau, I think he may have had a love here or there like that but Oaks got more power on his drive. Boogie can do it more often as well but he wasn’t as smooth.

It’s like Stromile Swifts dunks reminds me of a youn Shawn kemp, but I’m not comparing the two. It’s just the dunks.

He had some nice move si just didnt see Duncan ...

Come on man. Those were some great moves. Reminded me of that Duncan dunk on Big Ben in 2005 (it’s a regular season game, around January I think).

The fact that he dunked on Gobert, twice? Amazing moves.

Injuries and attitude problems costs him, and his lack of court awareness and defensive mobility would make him unplayable in:lol today’s nba anyways but you can’t deny those were great moves.

I also think age plays a part of it. 19 and 20 year olds don't know how to lead bc they haven't lived enough. I can't think of any young player in the history of the league that was a good leader at ages 19-21 except for Magic Johnson. Like as an organization, if you're looking at your draft pick to be your best player and your leader and he's a one and done, then you're setting yourself up for more failure.
