2017 Lakers Draft Pick Discussion

[dockingsched]

Am i watching the same interview as everyone else? It was just a bunch of cliches where he didn't really say anything of substance. Nothing wrong with that at all and probably the best course to take, i was just expecting way more from the comments in here.

My nightmare scenario:

Boston perceives that Ball's revenue halo gives Indy what they want for George. (in addition to xyz)

If Boston drafts ball, we end up liking some stuff a lot about Fultz or possibly moving him to Philly and grabbing Jackson. Not ideal as Ball is perfect for us offensively, but not awful. However, if they rob us of both Ball and George I think Nicholson and Adler need to put a hit out on Ainge

I don't know why you guys have all sold yourselves that Ball is what you need. You're a team full of guys who can't shoot, you want to add a point guard who also can't shoot? In 2017?? You should be praying to god that Fultz falls to you somehow. That is what you guys actually need.

I don't think there's a single team in the league that would trade for that pick and not do it to grab Fultz. In fact I'm fairly certain that if another team had the #2 pick instead of us that there would be a decent chance that Jackson would be picked instead of Ball.

Ball can shoot. Not sure where you get the idea he can't.

Schultz, is that you? It might be wiser to just admit your initial impression on Lonzo was wrong instead of continuing with this angle.

[Pointgod]

Lol. How the hell is getting the best prospect in the draft (Fultz) a worst case scenario? Sometimes being on this board is like living in a bizarro world.

[TyCobb]

That was with regards to Ball dropping past two.

maybe it because some of us don't consider fultz the best prospect in the draft

and if boston took ball, they evidently didn't think so either

Well if you expected in depth analysis of his workout and interactions with the FO, you're deluding yourself... He can't say anything about any of it...
Given that context, I think he did extremely well deflecting the prying questions while still showing the proper mind-set and somehow building the hype...

If you thought this was bad, watch a Fultz interview... The United Nations Bans use of his interviews on prisoners.

This Trade can't happened unless PG13 agrees to a long term deal with Boston.

Which he doesn't see to look like it.

PG13 wants to come to LAL or team up with Lebron for a title but he will have to take a big cut
So I think PG 13 wants to come to LAL and Im' not sure why Lebron would want to come to LAL or LAC

I think PG13 does not want to end up in Boston.

Josh Jackson, Ingram and Randle, we would be the worst shooting team in history!

Expected.

[TyCobb]

Wonder if the team is higher on Jackson than Russell.

Any word on how Lonzo's work out went?
