Series Thread: 5) Indiana Pacers vs. 4) Philadelphia 76ers

[Black Adam]

It is still early and players develop... but Simmons looks like the next Magic. Ingram will never be close to what Simmons is. You can tell he’s special, Ingram is just trying to be good. The point is you guys crucified me when I said Philly had the brighter future and that Simmons is the much better prospect. I also remember someone saying they won’t win 40 games or make the playoffs

lol, and you know that HOW...?

c'mon, man. I get that this is your fanship talking, but you might wanna take it down a notch...

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

That’s exactly what you were implying

Here comes the BS. Wait til I find the thread

So a by saying a player fits better in a certain system automatically means he's better?

Still butthurt over losing the pick last year I see. All of a sudden the Lakers are the enemy.

Seek help you sad little man

 

[Black Adam]

ah well, enough for me, bruh...

be hyped on Simmons. all good...

but i think Ingram's just fine. maybe he won't finish his career better than Simmons. maybe he will...

i'm willing to wait and see how both turn out...

 

[Black Adam]

or possess a crystal ball apparently...

This is a pretty funny thread to relive:

I'm going to help the poor guy out before he makes a complete ass of himself.

This is what Lakers fans said:

As a lakers fan I'd be happy with either one but I think Ingram fits better with the team.

I too would be happy with either. Ingram is supposed to be more NBA ready, but Simmons is supposed to have more upside...

VERY close call on this one, but i lean ever-so-slightly towards Ingram...

Same. I think Ingram fills more of a need. He's a better defender and can shoot from outside, but some are calling Simmons the next Lebron.

On the flip side, if we "end up" with Ingram, I won't complain one bit. He's a better immediate fit, and he spreads the floor, which I'm sure fits right into what Luke wants to do. Plus the dude has a freakin 7'3 wingspan

Now, which Lakers fan has said Ingram is better?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yeah you’d be OK with one pretty good player or one emerging superstar star. Suuuure

I mean, that's like saying the Heat or Raptors were not okay with Wade or Bosh when neither Team had the ability to choose James instead.

The Lakers didn't pass on Simmons, he was off the board and out of their reach.

So, why wouldn't they be happy with the guy they got?

He's just trolling. He's had a problem with the Lakers and their fans ever since the Lakers kept the pick last year.

So, the obvious troll question here is who are the Lakers sending on draft night to represent our pick?

But, on a serious note, who could the Lakers send to troll the Sixers?
How outrageous would it be if the Lakers asked Hinkie to represent them???
That would certainly sting the Colangelos, but I imagine Silver wouldn’t be too happy.

How does that work?

No matter what happens, the Lakers have to give up the pick to you or the Celtics.

But, they still have to send someone?

I hope it's Andrew Bynum....lol

Well, if it’s 10, there is still a 2.9% chance it goes to BOS at 2 or 3.
Goes to Philly if 1 or 10 or worse.
There’s no way the Lakers can make the pick.
Would they ask reps from both teams to go?
I really don’t know.

It doesn't matter who they send - I am pretty sure that the Lakers representative will be directed to draft on behalf of the recipient - it won't be the Lakers choice anyway

Nah we will get your pick this year. Didn’t matter to me
