If Philly takes Ingram..I don't think we will gamble on Simmons. Trade.

Too early to tell obviously. We'll take whoever the Sixers don't take. I'm sure we'll listen to trade offers as well, but either of them will be great assets to have moving forward

We'll get whichever player that Philly doesn't choose. With the Australian connection between Simmons and Brett Brown hard to see the going passed Simmons.

I want Ingram. Trade Simmons. No real reasons just yet. Saw them play in a very limited fashion.

It is so nice to still have the pick after our worst season of all time. I'd really like to skip the lottery next year.

We were waiting to see the whole time if lakers gonna get their pick. This way we know if we go with Coach for Melo or coach for young guys. Would be interesting if we name a coach this week and he's great at developing young players.

I'm totally cool with either guy and wouldn't trade either. My plan would be cost-controlled young guys and free agency.
