Draft Lottery drawing Tuesday

[Shaqdaddy11]

Either way, I don't see Pau staying. Jordan Hill might be persuadable if we can offer him a starting spot. Which means we'll need to sign a big man this summer.

 

[Retroram52]

Well if Pau and Kaman go, yes, we will need to find a big somewhere. Maybe Deandre Jordon could be persuaded to walk across the hall.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Kaman won't stay, Pau is after a pay day and Hill wants a bigger playing role.

Out of all of them I'd keep Hill. Cheaper than Pau.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

I would not do it. I would like to obtain a number 1 for next year. We can sign Love the summer of 2015. The Lakers need to build thru the draft with a dash of free-agency. I am sorry Kobe, but the Lakers have to think long term.

I was thinking the same, and it's not a guarantee that Love would stay after this season. What if things go south like they did with Dwight & bolts out of town also ? I know this is a different situation with Love, being that he loves LA & is more of a mellow dude, but you just never know. It's better to sign him long term in 2015, when you know he will be committed to stay if it happens.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

The 7th pick
Thanks a lot for not tanking at the end of the season.

I already feel this season is going to suck balls very disappointed.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Cavs get #1 again?

What's that, the 3rd time in 4 years?

Talk about conspiracy.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Number 7 isn't bad. We'll get a good player out of this.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

FUCK DUMBTONI!! PIECE OF SHIT COST US!!

 

[wildturkey]

Bummer. I'll take Vonleh or Gordon. Anything else and I'm trading for whatever.

 

[Retroram52]

Probably going to be Gordon or the pick gets traded.

 

[Louie26]

Probably going to be Gordon or the pick gets traded.

Julius Randal would be a dream, IMO.


THe guy is a workhorse who plays Def, rebounds, and can score. I don't think he'll score 30 a night, but I do think he can avg a dbl dbl.

If he's there at 7, it'd be almost like stealing!

No, quite the opposite with Randle. Infact his defense is so bad that on the scouting report for ESPN they listed bad defense twice.
