Re: Draft Thread 2: The Electric Draftaloo
I think Lakers better off just getting Garland rather than sign Kyrie. LeBron probably with the better idea of looking for a wing like Butler for the nax slot that they have.
Lakers probably signaled to the Suns that they are getting Garland already, paving a way for a Lonzo Ball to Phoenix for the 6th pick trade which would be the one that may be deployed to the Pelicans for AD.

Every time I watch Garland shoot, my interest for Barrett decreases. Am I the only one going through this?

Look man, Garland is klutch sports. So he will be seen with Lebron and expected to go at 4. Simply the Lebron influence Magic wasn’t tryna be around for.

Garland’s shooting and ball handling skills are wonderful to behold can’t really blame you here.
To be honest I won’t be completely upset if we select him over RJ.

If the Suns trade the 6th pick for Lonzo Ball, it should be gran opening grand closing for James Jones. I don't think there's any way that happens.

Not sure if Suns trade the 6th pick for Lonzo but I could see a Josh Jackson for Lonzo deal going down

Don't forget the Bulls have been linked to wanting L.Ball as well. If we do end up getting the feeling no max guys are coming our way then we really could use trading that #3 pick to our advantage and get a nice return for it. That of course is if we're not 100% sold on Barrett or have a trade for AD already set up and they want us to take Barrett. I've been preaching for Garland for quite a while now so i'm good with taking him.

Re: Draft Thread 2: The Electric Draftaloo
If we ended up in the 4-10 range we would all be crying about how we missed out on the top 3.
Now that we lucked out we have fans hoping to trade back for the brandon Clarke's and deandre hunters of the world.
Only knick fans man smdh.

My dude, you spent weeks trying to hype up Cam Reddish and Bol Bol and now you all on the RJ Bandwagon?
4-10 would have put us right in that Cam Reddish and Bol Bol range, so maybe some would have been crying about it but it wouldn't have been you though, right?

I've stated this previously and i think to 3tothehead specifically, with kd and most likely kyrie coming we need players who can impact winning now.
As high as i am on cam&bol(they have the highest ceilings in this draft imo) they just dont fit the win now timeline of kd. We won't have time to sit back and watch them develop and make no mistake they need alot of development.
RJ has a tremendous upside and can fit in seamlessly in between kd and kyrie and have an impact on winning immediately.
That's my stance.

It'd be one thing if your opinion changed over time, but every other day you got a new opinion on dudes, and it ain't just RJ, it's every single guy in the draft
Reading your posts is like watching a tennis match, one day you hate this guy, love that guy, next day you switch up, then the next day you switch back
