If we take ok4 tomorrow I pray that we have a trade in place for Randell. I think together they'd clog the paint.

Man, I just hope we don't have another Wiggins like situation with whoever we pick for another month not knowing if he'll get traded or not. I tend to grow quite attached to the players we draft.

Ok4 or Russell, you really can't go wrong with either.

Imagine if we drafted Russell and signed LMA this offseason and Durant next offseason. :o

Is that even possible? I'm no cap expert so no idea if that works or not.

That would leave us with Ed Davis in the middle... kind of under-sized (maybe that doesn't matter as much though).

That makes me wonder if Okafor makes more sense if we're indeed going after both Durant and LMA since Clarkson showed some promise.

Which would you prefer:

PG: Russell
SG: <someone>
SF: Durant
PF: LMA
C: Ed Davis

vs.

PG: Clarkson
SG: <someone>
SF: Durant
PF: LMA
C: Okafor

i like team that have Okafor.

as for SG, jabari brown is a cheap viable solution, He can shoot.

Ed is looking for 7-10 per, I doubt we sign him at that. Hill is better at 9 to be honest and we aren't even keeping him. Rather have option 2 either way as we have seen Clarkson play against NBA talent and being the 4th option to the other 3 is a perfect spot for him. Russell is still unproven in my book regardless of what Jerry says. For all we know Jerry is trying to mindF someone we don't know about.

I'm hoping it goes...

PG: Russell
SG: Kobe
SF:
PF: LMA
C:
bench: Clarkson, Randle

2016: get lucky and sign either RWB or Durant

You guys need to take Russell, so we can take Okafor (:

It makes more sense for the Lakers, especially with this FA class.

Hey and if it works out that way and both turn into superstars I would love to see the Knicks and Lakers in the finals with both of these players in their prime. Pretty epic

I just had a dream the Wolves took Russell #1, and then the Lakers took Myles Turner #2, passing over Okafor and Towns. If that happens...

Hearing about Russell over Okafor on the Radio.

Curry over Al Jefferson

Do it. That means either Cousins or LA is coming

If it is Russell, then maybe Clarkson will not stay.

Or will be

PG Clarkson
SG Russell
PF Randle
C Lamarcus
SF 2016 KD
