    Very good points, Killa. What do you think our beloved Lakers are going to do? Are we Boogying with Boogie? Winning more with Okafor? Hustle for Rusell?
    I think all 3 options GM, are problematic but I like all 3 players.

    1. I dont trust Boogie. And is Scott the right coach to get the best out of him? And even If he was ... no way I give up both #2 and Randle plus Clarkson to find out ... that.

    2. Oakafor's defense is a concern can he at least be solid enough for us to hand the Lakers big man baton to him? I love his offensive skill and he has won on every level much like Magic, Kareem worthy I believe that matters ...despite his detractors.

    3. Russell. I love his passing, vision and swag. His handles are strong not Curryesque but he could get even nicer. The game has become more guard focused.

    My head says Oakafor heart Russell ... I am trusting Mitch to pick the BPA based on workouts and not factoring Kobe, randle or clarkson we can make trades later for "fit".

    It's a ploy, ill. He's in town--in this blast furnace--workin' hard on his craft. He ain't here by accident. They implored him to stay---he stayed. He's seeing the light. Now the FO comes up with this strategy to put him up on the market stump, challenge him outright. They've seen the numbers, damn right they have and they're not a figment,,,they're hard numbers, get ya giddy to be frank. Put a heart there & then it takes on a whole different outlook for you & for me.
    Cubby, I just don't like Eric Bledsoe. I can't really put my finger on it, maybe it's the lazy turnovers or the fact that he turns it on when he wants but tends to coast more often than he should. Or it could be his lack of leadership and the fact that he's not a great shooter for being a point guard which negatively affects the team. If it were up to me I'd swing a deal on draft night and take a gamble on one of these kids coming out instead of hitching ourselves to Bledsoe and his contract. We need a franchise player and unfortunately nobody wants to play in Phoenix anymore thanks to Sarver so we are going to have to build through the draft or swing a trade when a player like that comes available (for example James Harden). This team has a bunch of dysfunctional pieces that don't fit together, the players I like in no particular order is Alex Len, Brandon Knight, TJ Warren, and maybe Archie Goodwin. I'd like for the front office to build around these core players, the rest, such as the Morriss twins and PJ Tucker are knuckleheads who need to be shipped right the off. It's inexcusable to me to disrespect your coach on national TV and get into a screaming match with an aggressive demeanor as if he was going to hit Jeff. It's inexcusable to miss the team bus multiple times. It's inexcusable to rack up all of those technicals and become a distraction to the team. The guys on the team are young and impressionable and those assholes (Morriss twins and Tucker) are setting the wrong tone. Now that Babby has stepped down, I'm hoping to Christ that he was the puppet master behind the Morriss twins, Bledsoe, and Tucker. I hope to see Ryan show some guts this off-season and make some calculated gambles.

    I'm with you on either Okafor or Russell. I was reading an article on Okafor and the dude has huge hands. I kinda just want it to be over with so we know where are chips lay. I know we're still miles away from competing in the Harsh west, but hope springs eternal.

    I think if you guys pass up Russell you'll live to regret it, that kid has star written all over him.

    I agree the wait is horrible, but at least we arent waiting for the 2nd round we have the #2 pick with two good options!!!

    That worries me. But it could be a poor man's version of Hakeem over Jordan. On paper of course Rox regret that pick but Hakeem still delivered. That is what I hope for my team if we go Oakafor even if Russell is the bigger "star".

    That's what I'm worried about because our administration is not the same and the game has been changing. Either one I will support as I always do. It's about the Laker logo on the front and not what name adorns the back.

    I don't think it's gonna be Sam Bowie or Oden bad, I'm just not sure if Okafor or Towns are going to be franchise players.
