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

Imo, can't go wrong with Fultz, Lonzo or Jackson. Personally, I prefer Jackson for the Lakers because of his defense.

Either way, Russell will slide over to the 2 spot or be traded.

Fuck the Warriors

I honestly think it's possible that you end up with both UCLA guys.

I wouldn't have an issue with that. Especially if we can rig Shaq's statue to fall on LaVar when he tries to get into Staples Center.

 

[trojanfan12]

Anyone else watching UCLA/Kentucky?

Good game. Turning into a shootout.

We got a DUEL goin on. UK/UCLA. Fox/Monk vs Lonzo

Im not a fan of Fultz.. I like Jackson but I feel the Kings needs someone who can run th offense.

Which astute Heat fan called this?

The smartest man on SportsHoopla or my cyber boy-toy, side piece?


Tyronn Lue confirmed that, for now, Derrick Williams would be the odd-man out of his rotation with Love, J.R. Smith, and Kyle Korver all healthy. Williams had been a mainstay on Cleveland’s second unit with James, Korver, Channing Frye, and Richard Jefferson. His playing time started to dip with the arrival of backup point guard Deron Williams.

Coaching, Tyronn Lue, Derrick

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

I don't necessarily dislike Jackson, but it seems like he could be a good contributor across the board, more so than the guy that could carry a team

FIFY

LOL I thought you were tanking?

I'm not convinced Lonzo can carry a team and the Lakers need defense.

 

[msgkings322]

Couldn't remember which one. But, I knew it was a Heat fan.

Hey, If the Lakers keep that Rockets pick, would you like Leaf?

I'm a Rabb fan too.

He could be Taj Gibson 2.0.

He's an outstanding rebounder for sure.

 

[ChrisWebber]

Papa G reminds me of Marc Gasol...

This game's pretty okay.

Man Monk is like a better version of Jamal Crawford, in that it's must see tv when he gets hot

 

[WiggyRuss]

Devin Booker...unreal.

that is a nice best-of that draft....Towns, Porzingis, Booker-

 

[Bolts]

LOL I thought you were tanking?

Beating the Warriors and that bitch Barnes would be worth taking a night off the tank, plus the Kings' stupid trade last year is gonna make their tanking meaningless.

 

[WiggyRuss]

lebron with an unreal game though.....32, 11 and 9. pretty amazing. Hornets hung in there though-

 

[Kold]

I'm not convinced Lonzo can carry a team and the Lakers need defense.

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
