I think the Lakers need to be prepared if Ball is selected #1 by Boston.


If Ball is selected #1 by Boston. Who is a long term solid player?

I like the article today where Luke says now is the time to rebuild an it will take more than one Superstar
to be GSW.

Yes the Lakers need a long term approach because KD, Curry, Thompson, Green will be a Monster
for several years.

How good or elite will Josh Jackson be on Defense?

Why would boston pass on Fultz after first they were sold but now they are not so sure or are throwing smoke screens?

Who else will be a solid long term piece or an asset? DSJ, Tatum , Fox?

I just think be prepared for the un-expected cause Ball could be #1.

If it is true that the FO is in disagreement about picking Ball, I wonder who the Nay's are? Magic seems on board, Luke seems on board... Pelinka seems like Magic's yes man, so who could it be? Jeannie? Maybe because the perception that LaVar is a misogynist?

It's probably just an attempt to look Boston off, but it's interesting if true?

If they're smart though, they'll let it leak that Ball was 'unimpressive' in the workout.

It does sort of seem like Boston's wavering on Fultz. Maybe it's time for another "Crazy-LaVar"...

Any news on Lonzo's work out? Kevin Ding said they'll meet him again at dinner with Jeanie Buss this time and... LaVar's invited.

Hope Lavar doesn't tell Jeanie to stay in her lane at the dinner table.

Probably won't get a sense of how the actual workout went for a day or two since it was closed off.
