Hearing rumors of Lakers offering randle plus the 2nd pick for fultz?! Best not be true...

Also hearing that they're wanting to maybe move back to 4 from PHX to get Fox and another pick (either this year or next) since PHX really wants Ball

[Juana]

Boo West joined the clips...his kid will probably follow...

Can't blame him for doing it if they wanted him and he wanted to be back in LA

[kv]

Fuck the clippers

they cover his championship banner


In other news...ty sixers for looking like you are gonna prevent this randle trade from happening...dude finally is going all in this off season..he is shredded now... I'd have hated to see him in green to move one pick...looks like Philly wants fultz.. he'll be working out for them tonight to seal the deal...now this talk of moving down to sac is interesting...gonna be a long week

[kv]

Two more days till this draft...

I'm hoping cle can pull off this Jimmy Butler trade as I don't wanna see PG-13 go to Cleveland for the year after he came out saying he wants to come to LA...a year in cle could sway that...hoping we don't trade for him now...even though I'd be happy if we did...not sure how all the Lakers pieces fit if we draft ball then get George next year...seems like randle 4, pg 3, Ingram moves to 2, ball 1 with Russel odd man out? Or Russel off bench as 1+2 with Clarkson then out? heard talk of the 2 plus Clarkson and brewer being offered... I'd do that today then we still have moz Deng contracts for space in a year while clearing Clarkson's contract... Cleveland grabbing Butler would really strengthen our hand

Can't wait for this to all come together...sucks it's prob another year away if it happens as all...but I'm def down for another year of watching the kids grow..stoked pg actually came out and showed laker interest...I def had my doubts about him really wanting to come here

[kv]

Wow dlo gone...with mozgov...for 27th and Brook lopez

[kv]

Nets just love giving their draft picks away

We are well on our way to clearing space for 2 max contracts next year....now just don't get LeBron and all is good

You think Magic is not going to gun for Bronny Drama?

[Juana]

At least we got rid of one horrible Mitch signing

[kv]

Yep, dlo was done second our season ended and we were going pg in draft...no need for him with ball coming...plus isn't his contract up at end of year anyway? People are freaking out but we tried to get more for him and couldn't (we tried hard with the smoke and mirrors but everyone knows who we are taking)...so salary dump it is...3 first round picks now...plus we made the nets better which will hurt the celtics

[kv]

Def think magic wants LeBron... unfortunately I can't do it...it would put me off for his years here

[kv]

Dlo had team option for 18/19
Who is better for the Lakers this season...Lopez or dlo?
Lopez imho....and if we couldn't get a lottery pick for dlo now how much would his stock drop getting less minutes behind ball? It's a fair trade...cleaning up the old front offices mistakes...let's hope ball is all that

Still Lonzo is shit

[kv]

Well none of them have seen this level yet so it's all unknown...we are gonna find out some stuff today...be interesting to see if we even have the picks in 8 hours... Aldridge, Butler and PG-13 all being shopped...most of our ammo runs out today..should be interesting

[kv]

I don't want to trade the two now that we shipped dlo we better be grabbing a guard (ball, fox or Jackson) and not reaching for George without having a PG in place

[Juana]

Jackson is a pretty good prospect but I think they will go with Ball due to shipping off D-Lo. Ideally I would like to see them take Fox and then somehow trade back up to get Lauri Markkanen but I doubt they can package something to get back into the top 12. LMA is old, PG13 has told the Lakers not to sell the farm for him. Should be an interesting draft either way.

[kv]

Ya with dlo trade just has to be ball...but any of the three I am happy today...hope if he makes it past us fox gets to creep

At least the George talk will keep the draft exciting till we get to 27..I tink the pacers are dumb if they don't take our trade today...but whatever I can wait the year

I mean if the offer is 27/28 a future 1st and then Randle/Clarkson packaged to make salaries work that is probably the best they will get but BOS is looming as they have a lot of young players and picks.

Remember when kv didn't care about the draft....those were the days

When your team sucks and has high draft picks the draft and lottery are fun.

[kv]

The draft for the Lakers used to be for people who never made the team...or deep bench mark madsens...ya this is way more meaningful...today anyway...two years down the road we could be dumping this pick for salary space again

Lottery is just stress though

[Juana]

Yeah but I hope they actually see a star in Ball, I'm not sold but we will see. Been wrong before.

[Juana]

Butler to the Wolves

[kv]

Getting one of em creep!

[creep]

kings will get either jackson or fox...I'll take that

[kv]

Hell ya grats! Karma for getting your pick taken
