Precisely. I was more in the "move DLo camp," but I've been swayed.

Mad the fake news wasnt his.

TBF that entire article was supporting D'Lo, it even had quotes from the Lakers film room guy who is as big a D'Angelo stan as anyone.

Quick, hide that from Colangelo.

well I would think anyone going to LA has a slightly higher chance due to voting populace.

So porzingis is available? Not sure it works number wise but just a thought.

Three way
Lakers get George and porzingis

Indiana
Gets Randle, clarkson, deng, 8th pick in draft, 28th pick

Knicks get Russell and mozzy.

Lakers roll with Ball, George, Ingram, Nance, Porzingis next year.

Pacers get picks and Randle and clarkson.

Knicks get their franchise player and get start over.

You think? That's a lot the pacers get 8th and clarkson and Randle and Knicks get to rebuild again with Russell who could be a star.

You think that the Knicks would give up their #8 pick for the right to swap KP for Dlo and take on Mozgovs contract? :lol:

I'd like to see how this matches up against past drafts.

I'm glad Eric Pincus is the voice of reason coming out of Los Angeles.

I don't think I'd trade out of Ball for porzingis.

This is basically what it comes down to right. I wonder how the front office feels about this.
I'm pretty confident they won't hesitate to offer D'Angelo for Kristaps. I'm also pretty confident Phil will probably say no to that and anything for Kristaps starts with the #2 pick.

Ball is the newest of age-modern day PG's. A pass first, elite shot selection guy who excels in transition. While Porzingis is pretty damn unique in his own right, it's a red flag to me with the way he has acted in NY and PJ's openness to moving on him so quickly.

How is Porzingis ever a good fit for a team supposedly trying to play Warrior style basketball? He's 7'3" tall. His wheels will fall off!

He's also a poor rebounder for his size, he can't do much defensively except protect the rim, similar to Zu. And he has stamina issues.

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