Thursday June 25 7PM New York, 4PM L.A. .... NBA Draft 2015. The lottery was Part One. All our excitement and collective Lakers energy pulled off the 2nd selection from our 4th position based on our record. Now Mitch and crew have picks 2, 27 and 34 if they keep all of them. Or we see what they do with any they don't exercise. Time called for "Positive Vibration" leading up to the lottery.

I'm going with my lucky bunch here after calling the #2 pick and holy crap that's what we got. Add any and all positive vibes as the spirit moves you. The lottery got us here, now Mitch, you Jedi, break out that magic wand with our not one, not two, but three picks!! ...

Last year the Optimism Thread was @karacha 's baby, but before that she was mine! I'm takin' her back!

This thread is where you come to feel good about where the Lakers are at. Did they make a controversial move? Did they lose a game and you found a moral victory? Are some of these other threads getting you down with brutal honesty or unnecessary pessimism?

Well come post here why you're feeling positive about the day and the next day and the year in general! This thread is for my eternal optimists! My happy-go-lucky brethren! My friends of great faith!

Sound off below, but bring on the happy!

Well, well, well....... As we usually do at this time of year it is time for the newest addition of the Whine, Moan and Complain thread. Since last season nearly every thread was essentially the WMC it will be great to have just one this season.

What's the rules? Instead of making a new thread for every angry post about whatever it is during the game or after the game or whenever you want to complain here is your thread. It is time for the draft and that awesome #2 pick. The Lakers are in build it and make it a Championship mode but we all know that fans are gonna complain about whatever pick we go with on draft night. So, it is time to dust off the old familiar 2am booty call that is WMC and get ready for a return to greatness of the Lakers.

Ladies and Gentlemen I present the WMC 2015-2016 season!

I really feel for Lamar Odom. The one constant in his life is tragedy. Mother died of cancer, grandmother died early, his child died of SIDS, his nephew died as a small child, and when leaving that funeral, his limo struck a cyclist who hit someone else and that person died.

So, no secret, he's been strung out on drugs the past few years. Now his best friend has died of a flesh eating disease caused by intravenous needle use. (Really hope Lamar didn't share needles with him).

After the L.A. County Coroner's Office confirmed what caused the death of Lamar Odom's best friend, Jamie Sangouthai, a source says that the former NBA player is even more distraught.

The coroner's office confirmed on Thursday that Sangouthai died from a flesh-eating bacterial skin infection (necrotizing faciitis), as well as IV drug abuse. "Lamar just found out the results and is even more devastated." "Because he didn't know Jamie was suffering so much and using needles."...
