Lets fucking do this Adam!!! You dirty rotten jew help your fellow jew faggots in LA.

I don't know if I want the 1st Pick, or, if the 1st pick will mean anything with our team being in its current state.

its something, and something is better than nothing, and that's how you have to look at it.

A Top 2 pick is legit in this draft. Lakers would be lucky to have either Simmons or Ingram.

Valid points. However, with the Son of Jerry running the show, I wouldn't put it past him. He'll probably fuck it up for a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle and a Korean Comfort lady.

means a lot, Ingram or Simmons are keepers. losing this pick will set the lakers back by another 5 yrs :lol

Final predictions?

I got:

1. Lakers
2. Sixers
3. PHX
4. Twolves
5. Celtics

[DPG21920]

PHI number one because of Mutumbo and we need another awesome controversy to fan the rigged flames.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao at anyone having a white American in their Top 10 board
:lmao Jay Bilas

[BatManu20]

Ingram's as skinny as Durant was coming out of Texas.

[TheGreatYacht]

Let's go Sixers

[td4mvp2k]

Mitch kupcake bout to pee his pants :lol

[Killakobe81]

Lakers getting dat #1 pick

Doubtful ...

But tbh after the first 2 draft is weak ...

But we can keep pick get 1 2 or 3 and still not have a legit star

[AlexJones]

Literally scratched my head when I didnt see the Mavs on the list.. forgot these fucks actually made the playoffs :lmao

[StrengthAndHonor]

Phoenix ends with the 1st pick, they're due...

[DPG21920]

Mitch did not look comfortable answering that question :lol. He will look more comfortable with that number 1.

[Darth_Pelican]

No way we get it after Stern gifted us with AD.

[TheGreatYacht]

Literally scratched my head when I didnt see the Mavs on the list.. forgot these fucks actually made the playoffs :lmao
:lmao

[cjw]

So since Gervin's last season in SA (1984-85), the Spurs have made the playoffs all but three times. Two #1s and one #3 (Elliott).

[DPG21920]

All things going as planned unfortunately

[140]

Let's do this for Hinkie

[Darth_Pelican]

Pick 6... Might get us Buddy Hield

[DPG21920]

Lakers keep the pick.

[lefty]

Masai Ujiri is a genius tbh :lol

[K...]

LAKERS WIN!!!

[DPG21920]

Son of a b*tch.

Really sad they couldn't dig out KObe for this shindig.

[AlexJones]

[RsxPiimp]

lakers disappointment level went down by 10,000 :lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Pick 6... Might get us Buddy Hield
Don't think you want another chucking SG on the roster tbh

[lefty]

:lol commercial break
:lol Muricans

[DPG21920]

Lakers getting that number one was the easiest call ever.

[Darth_Pelican]

Gentry always looks sleepy tbh

He slept throughout coaching the team all season.

[RsxPiimp]

congatrs Mitch, muh nigga we set :hat

[Darth_Pelican]

Don't think you want another chucking SG on the roster tbh

Gordon is a goner. I expect the team to look much different next season.

[Mitch]

congatrs Mitch (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=36270), muh nigga we set :hat

Jeanie didn't suck enough dick, fucking bimbo.

[DPG21920]

PHI East beats PHI West.

[Spurs9]

How many frickin commercials do they have to try to squeeze in? Ridiculous

[BatManu20]

Lakers likely going to get Brandon Ingram, who I think is going to be the best player out of this draft. He's Paul George-esque.

[140]

FOR HINKIE!!!! TRUST THE PROCESS!!

[TheGreatYacht]

Philly gonna pick another PF :lmao

[Spurs9]

:wow

[RsxPiimp]

shiiet #2 is all fine by me, ingram is laker bound, better fit and this nigga plays defense :claw

[DPG21920]

Mutumbo exposing the rigged system :lol

[TheCultOfPersonality]

How many frickin commercials do they have to try to squeeze in? Ridiculous
They gotta pay those bills.

[Spurs9]

Lakers are good either way with 1st or 2nd tbh

[RsxPiimp]

Philly gonna pick another PF :lmao

last 5 lottery picks were big men in a small ball league :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Philly will pick Ingram, congrats Lakers you got Josh Smith Lite in Simmons :lol

[cjw]

So the Lakers will get either the Kevin Durant to Greg Oden ... or the Ryan Leaf to Peyton Manning.

[RsxPiimp]

Jeanie didn't suck enough dick, fucking bimbo.

Aw man, its all for the best. ingram is gonna be a beast and is a better fit for the lakers son

[140]

Philly will pick Ingram, congrats Lakers you got Josh Smith Lite in Simmons :lol

:lol

[Clipper Nation]

Can't wait to see Chazz reach for another bust, tbh. :lol

[Captivus]

last 5 lottery picks were big men in a small ball league :lol


Shhh.....some Spurs fans are having Adams-Kanter nightmares...

[RsxPiimp]

Can't wait to see Chazz reach for another bust, tbh. :lol

would be funny AF if they pick buddy hield tbh :lol

i watched this faggot loaf all around LSU, he literally can't shoot beyond 5 feet, this is a bust waiting to happen

[BatManu20]

732688943200620544

[DPG21920]

Simmons obviously has a lot of upside, but man, if LA gets another guy that needs serious work on his shot to pair with other non-shooters?

Simmons reminds me of a Lamar Odom (with a higher ceiling if it goes well obviously)

[Killakobe81]

that Ben Simmons has mini bust all over him, tbh :lol

Not sold on either guy but its still a talent infusion we need desperately.

[RsxPiimp]

that Ben Simmons has mini bust all over him, tbh :lol

its all about intangibles at this point, he's cornerstone material, talent wise.

[Killakobe81]

Haters have to cancel their rofl threads ...
Was that the first draft that almost went perfect to form?
Did only celts move up?

[AlexJones]

:lmao the media trying to portray Dikembe as some sort of prognosticator to deflect from the conspiracy theories

lottery pick doesnt mean that player is going to turn ur franchise around in 1 season...

these clowns aint even a once in a decade player you should be gloating about

[Kawhitstorm]

Literally scratched my head when I didnt see the Mavs on the list.. forgot these fucks actually made the playoffs :lmao

Actually, traded their pick to the Celtics for Rondo so they won't have a 1st rd pick whatsoever.:lol

Exactly. They want the money. They want nothing else. They're gonna [Swaggy P] as soon as they sign that contract and the money transfers.

Simmons is a light skin version of Odom aka he has an attitude:lol

I'd settle for that tonite. Odom turned out to be a champion, a winner.

Except Odom was fine playing his role, Simmons is like a light skin chick.

[Clipper Nation]

I get the criticism for Simmons, but I also think Ingram is being wildly overrated as part of the backlash against all the Simmons hype (as well as Lakerfan hoping to draft "the real star" with the second pick). Ingram wasn't even the first option on his own team; Grayson Allen had the higher usage rate. Most of his stats on offense have been padded as a stretch-4 against college bigs who are too slow to guard him, yet he's projected as a small forward in the NBA. He's also a terrible free throw shooter - maybe a sign of mental weakness? He'll be a very good defender just because of his length alone, but people need to chill with the Durant comparisons.

[LkrFan]

I have high hopes for Ingram. He's wiry thin, but can shoot, nice handles, decent defender, and nice finisher. In Dubs offense he should shine.

He has shown he can put on weight too (going from 169 pounds to 190 as a freshman). Not saying muxh tbh :lol When this kid fills out, we will have a player on our hands. Our strength and conditioning coach will be key to his development. He needs to put on about 25 more pounds. But Simmons might pull a Kobe and bully his way to LA though. :lol I'm hearing his impending shoes deal is worth a lot of dough in LA.

I'm honestly fine with either player tbh. I'm on record as saying I want Ingram though.

Im strangely with CN ...
I do think Simmons was overhyped ...
and his shot needs work ...
But you take the better player and worry less about fit.
Philly has 6 recent lotto 4s and 5s they may worry about fit
Lakers have nance and randle players i like ...
but not enough to pass on Simmons if he is the best player
But either way not our choice
But if Simmons wants us that bad maybe it was meant to be
I like both guys but neither are no brainers like adavis ...
To me its not even as clear as last year when half this board and LG was on the oakafor hype train ...and i was all Kat.
I havent made up my mind yet but leaning Simmons.

Agreed. I'm of two frames of thought on Simmons:

1) 6' 155lbs Steph took a no name Davidson team to an elite 8. Simmons couldn't at least make the big dance? That's a red flag to me.

2) Simmons has all the tools, but he can't shoot. Well, neither could Blake Griffin coming into the league (or Mailman back in the day). Now Griffin is automatic out to about 18 feet (he even makes 3s on occasion). Shooting can be improved.

Ingram can do it all. I don't need him to have Simmons' passing ability - we have Russell for that. All he has to do is gain weight to be a monster in this league.

Admittedly, I'm on the fence. I'd be happy with either one. Both have plusses and minuses to their game but are not nearly a finished product.

My dude. This is something, doesnt matter who we draft or if we trade the pick. Something is better than nothing. We are finally trending upwards.

[Killakobe81]

Well said.
I will really watch some clips and make a final "decision" on who I think is the better player.
But either way I think we get a an important piece eventually our #2 on a good team.
We have guys that can be our #3 and #4 we just lack the legit #1 which unfortunately the most important piece.

Lebron couldn't shoot either, nor did he have a post game.

[LkrFan]

Lebron couldn't shoot either, nor did he have a post game.

True dat. This further fortifies my point. midnightpulp keeps yapping about how Randle can't shoot either. As if he is a finished product. Fisher couldn't shoot coming out of college either. He worked on it and worked on it until 0.4 happened. :lol

I prefer Ingram, but I could be talked into Simmons. I'm legitimately fine with either player coming to LA. Both will be studs.

To put thing in perspective it still took two years for CLE to make the playoffs after they got Lebron and there is no question he is 10x the prospect Simmons/Ingram are.

They had LeHype and who else? Ingram or Simmons will team with Randle, Russell, Clarkson and Nance Jr. Then there is a ton of cap space to potentially "create" a FA (i.e. MVPAU).

I'd rather primarily build thru the draft like the Dubs did, but don't think Mitch isn't working the phones as I type this post. We've seen him swing for the fences. I just hope he's judicious about it going forward.

Simply put, we are in a much better position to make waves than last summer. I'll be interested to see what lies ahead.

To put things in perspective the Cavs didn't remove a giant cancer until after year one. The Lakers fastracked that process and should get a +10game advantage just due to that.
