2017 Lakers Draft Pick Discussion

If the Lakers can get another top 15 pick, how would you guys feel about them picking someone like Bam Adebayo? He's tall, athletic, can defend the rim, and can rebound.

They literally state According to Chad Ford.

The Lakers would target Markkanen or Leaf before they would Kennard or Collins. I throw up in my mouth even being associated with the latter two.

I wouldnt put much value on that article. That is just quoting Chad Ford and adding more speculation. The only way the Lakers trade Dlo is if we get a minimum of two 1st round picks and one of them must be a top 5 pick.

As expected, the Lakers are looking into everything except for moving Ingram as they should. The Lakers need more assets and more flexibility with salary especially in light of PG comments.

As for picking BAM, yeah if he is available around #28 but would prefer Bell still.

Imagine how George and the agent he shares with Russell would feel if the Lakers even thought about trading the arguably best player on the team for a pick outside the top ten.

Emplay, is that you?

Whatever the case, the agent stuff is irrelevant. This is the NBA, sometimes conflicting **** will happen when you have players throughout the NBA.

This just seems so silly, there has to be something too it... Who would think Russell for a mid first is fair value?

Chad Ford apparently. Also thinks that the Lakers would trade Lonzo with Mozgov to get George here at draft time.

Bam might be available in the 20s. No need to waste a top 15 on him.

I think the possibility of Dlo to Sacramento for #5 and #10 might a possibly situation. The other rumors could be JC for #12 or something. Ford could be mixing things up.

JC for a first round pick would be good. As for Dlo, I doubt he gets traded. Just doesnt make sense for the future of the franchise to lose our best player.

For a pick outside the top ten? Imagine how they would feel if they traded him for anything other than a proven star and someone who could help George win right away.

I'd actually be pretty surprised if JC alone got us the 12th pick. But 5 and 10 sounds better for Russell...

per reddit
"Ireland: Boston told the Lakers they were taking Lonzo unless you give us something, Few minutes later the Fultz 'murdered his workout' story leaked."

i told you from day one lol :lol:

its not conspiracy at all, Michael Lucky. Fultz is not the best prospect, its Ball.

Is that not what I stated???

First Sixers Nation, now Ireland. :rofl:

That Ireland quote was just Ireland on his radio show speculating possibly what happened there. No source or anything for Ireland there.

I hate the prospects that are rumored to be targeted in a D'lo trade... we're really selling low if that's true.

If we do unload Clarkson and Dlo, I would love to see us get Frank Jackson. IMO the guy is going to be a legit NBA player and possible allstar in the mold of a CJ Mccollum. He's going to be one of those head scratchers like Deandre Jordan in the 2nd rd if he really does get drafted in the 2nd round as projected.

Who do the Lakers draft on June 22nd with the 2nd overall pick?
