The Official Los Angeles Lakers Thread

[nando714]

The possibilities are endless for the lakers this offseason. it starts tonight. The lakers future is looking brighter

[Angel Oracle]

Let's get this train back on track!

9 hours to lottery draw!

[Stradling]

If there is any kind of conspiracy in the NBA, and a lot of people think there is (I don't believe it), then the Lakers will get the first pick.

Lakers will get Rondo and Love in free agency and be a lottery team for another year

 

 

No way they'll be a lottery team next year, as they need to finish in the bottom 3 to keep their pick. With those acquisitions, they're at best a 30 win team with no first round pick next year.

 

In other words, next year will be pretty bad barring a miracle overhaul, but here's hoping they at least are able to get a good young core to build with.

Im thinking

1. Knicks

2. Lakers

3. T wolves

Only Cleveland is allowed to get 2 #1 picks in 3 years was it?

I'll be happy with this.

The Lakers have 2 first round picks (hopefully) this year and plenty of cap space.  Unless they come away with very little in FA or suffer terrible injuries no way are they keeping what is a top 3 protected pick in 2016. I don't want them to go after Rondo but if they do it better be at a massive discount or have some kind of a team buyout option so they aren't stuck with him long term if it doesn't work out.  You can't pass on the proven product with players like Love or Aldridge but part of me wants to see Randle get a shot since we haven't had a chance to see anything out of him yet.  I'd like to see the Lakers end up with a C so Towns or Okafor with their first pick.  

[Richard]

I don't like any scenario with Rondo on the team. Stay far away. Dude is injury prone and is league average at best.

[SoWhat]

So nervous about tonight. My stomach is in knots

[Richard]

Here we go. The moment we've been waiting for.

[SoWhat]

[nando714]

[Stradling]

So who should they draft? Okafor? Russel?

[tennischmp]

Okafor or Towns

[Punk]

Lake show!!!!!

I'll take Okafor or Towns.

[Ray McKigney]

Finally some luck!!!

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

So who should they draft? Okafor? Russel?

At 1 or 2 you take one of the 2 centers to pair with Randle.

[Stradling]

I'd probably go all out to sign Love, then draft Russell.

[Richard]

Think the draft is before fa signing.

[nando714]

I'd probably go all out to sign Love, then draft Russell.

Where would our defense come from? Love plays little to none.

Russell. Idk didn't watch a lot if Ohio state ball
