    I like it....pho owns Mia 18' pick, top 7 protected, then top 3 then unprotected. Great asset for future trades

    This is the best way to do it...making ball obvious to everyone serves us no good

    I will be absolutely stunned if Lonzo isn't the pick. I like several guys in this draft but I still feel like anyone other than Ball will get treated similarly to Russell. I'm not interested in watching the fan base constantly rip another young player. We've get more than enough of that with Russell and Randle.

    Ball will be the guy and I'm good with that for a variety of reasons.

    This places a lot of hope that 76rs would not take Fox and screw us. He's scheduled to work out for them next week. That just seems to convoluted and risky a plan to me. Just take your man @ #2. This guy and, Schultz, I don't put much of anything in their tweets.

    You don't think fans would rip ball if he doesn't live up to the magic hype?

    Same here, it's Fultz/Ball or bust for me. It's more obvious than last year's top 2 with Simmons/Ingram. The falloff is enormous.

    Knowing you I know this is funny but not sure exactly which way I'm being mocked. For my whining and moaning over Okafor for weeks or my homeristic tendencies?

    Magic and Riles hosted an event for American Express. They touched on a ton of topics. I'd loved to have been there. Just a tongue in cheek joke by Riley but I thought it was funny.

    What is everyone's sources?

    Chris Broussard?

    Give me some damn quotes and names, this kind of Twitter journalism is garbage.

    If they know that Pheonix wants Jackson why do they care if Ball drops to #4 or #10?

    That makes no sense, ball wouldn't drop to 10 to begin with. What does 10 have to do with anything? Pho would move up if they felt phi was a threat to take Jackson at 3 or even la themselves at 2.

    C'mon, if they chose Jackson, don't tell me you won't get excited for his 1st Summer League game. He is a Laker, you are a fan.
