not too long ago we drafted sochan/branham/wesley

and signed Barlow and soon after Champagnie

[onechance87]

76ers surely go for raynuad

[ace3g]

[Mugen]

Id be shocked if the Lakers don't trade up in these next few picks tbh

and bassey

I’m bookmarking this for 2030 when it’s traded for a Kings 2035 SRP plus CASH

If we can keep selling that same asset every few years for more and more cash that sounds like a win to me, lol

[CGD]

we gave the #38 pick. if the kings end up the 9th worst team, its a lower pick than the one we just gave up

But the cash!! lol

It’s in 2031. People like distant picks.

Malika: "I think Embiid has accepted he's not an 82-game player, he's not even a 65-game player"

coming in with the hammer

[Darkwaters]

Good for him. I'd seen mocks that had him falling into the back half of the 2nd round. He was a great college player and should be a rotational NBA guy immediately.

[Mugen]

Wemby gotta be sitting at home thinking WTF, could have had one of his best friends at a position of need but the FO cheaped out.

Little stuff like that matters down the road tbh.

[scottspurs]

I mocked picks 34,35 and 36 correctly in the mock draft thread lol

[Dex]

But the cash!! lol

It’s in 2031. People like distant picks.

There are also so many roster spots to go around.

Yes, we still need to shore up the backup center spot...but bringing in 3 rookies into a mostly-full roster is tough.

[ace3g]

Lakers trade for the 36th pick.

Yeah I was thinking this too. I wasn't about reaching for him because of the connection but taking him right now is completely risk free and good for the relationship with your Superstar.

Lakers selecting Adou Thiero.

[RC_Drunkford]

if the Pacers draft Raynaud with our pick

[spurraider21]

Thiero to Lakers at 36

im not on high on Raynaud as others here but if he's just there for the taking at 38 thats hilarious

[Knoxxx]

not too long ago we drafted sochan/branham/wesley

I know, bad memories but that doesn’t mean we’d eff it up like that again just cuz we did b4

[scott]

lol, Raynaud gonna fall all the way to 38.

[SpursFan86]

Thiero at 36 is a solid pick.

It’s crazy we could’ve ended up getting Raynaud at 38 Some people here were willing to take him at 14.

[Russ]

Lakers selecting Adou Thiero.

Supposedly the most electric athlete in the draft.

[benefactor]

if the Pacers draft Raynaud with our pick

Going to be a bad look in the eyes of Wemby

[spurraider21]

so if we just waited before trading #38, instead of inexplicably dealing it before the draft, we could have just package our tiest 2026 SRP to move up 1-2 spots and land a center

[Knoxxx]

Thiero to Lakers at 36

im not on high on Raynaud as others here but if he's just there for the taking at 38 thats hilarious

Oddly peeps had him top 20 or better recently surging up the board

[onechance87]

if the Pacers draft Raynaud with our pick

wow....we will look like morons
