2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Jackson with Ingram would most certainly be a NICE defensive pairing for the future. As for Lonzo, I don't see a transcendent player, but I do see a player that makes his teammates much better than they are, although it remains to be seen how that would work out with Russell.
Overall, just like always, I'll assume that we won't keep the pick, and whatever happens, happens. As for the 24 pick, pretty sure we could find a gem. Either that, or I'd look into moving that pick with Deng's contract somehow

Yeah, I agree with Mecca that the Lakers may be able to get Leaf or Rabb with that Houston pick.

As for Deng's contract, unfortunately, about the only way they get out of that is if they can convince him to retire.

Maybe LaVar will stfu and go away now?

Nah, he'll be talking about how UCLA would have won if he were the coach.

Screw the Lakers.. We need Lonzo. They have Russell.

Dude, Lavar would have Vlade sobbing before training camp starts....lol

After getting rid of Boogie, why would you want those kinda problems?

Pray for Fultz.

He's getting son'd by Fox.

Kings have a 0.00% chance of getting Fultz.

Russell might be better suited playing off guard.

A high risk/astronomical reward guy like Giles might still be on the board when you use that Houston pick.

Kid was the #1 recruit going into his Freshman year.

But, his body is made of glass.

I believe @TurnUpTheHeat called it. Don't know if I falls under your side piece or not.

Both @bksballer89 and I tried to explain it to him equally.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Just got home.
Seems like all the scores that matter are Heat friendly.

I know.

You will still have options.

The Fox kid that just put 39 ass whoopins on Lonzo is one of them.

Dennis Smith is another.

If the Kings get one of the top PG's(Fultz, Ball, Smith, Fox, Ntilikina) and one of the top SF's(Jackson, Tatum, Bridges, Isaac) I'll be happy. There are preferences, right now it's probably Fox and Isaac, but they need to shore up those 2 spots with talented young players. Anything else would be disappointing.

If you did get Lonzo, his size and playmaking ability would really help Buddy.

Buddy has shown the ability to attack the rim and has also been very good shooting the 3 with the Kings. Ball would definitely help him get open shots along with lobbing it up to the thin towers of Skal and WCS. I'm not holding my breath on that happening, but it'd be fun to watch.

Worth noting that UCLA had a soft schedule and in games where they played tougher opponents, Ball's numbers were similar to what you saw tonight than the transcendent player he's hyped as. He's a good prospect, not an all time one. He's a lot closer to the other PGs in a really PG heavy class. I think Fultz is better and I kinda like Dennis Smith over him as well.
