    I'd be absolutely shocked if they picked anyone other than Fultz. Not just because I think he projects the easiest to the next level, but because he makes sense for their team. Besides Thomas who on the perimeter is creating offense? Smart? Bradley? They're not made for that. Add in the extras like Fultz's connection with Thomas and of course the fact that they're probably greater than 50/50 odds on to get Hayward this summer and I think Fultz is a lock.

    The Lakers are a bit more up in the air, but I think Fultz is a lock. If he doesn't go 1st, then the Lakers get him and that's a good thing too.

    Fultz will be a C bag. Even if Hayward goes to Boston.

    Interesting piece where Tania says a source told her the Lakers have shopped the #2 pick both listening to offers and making some of their own.

    I still think there's a good chance to trade down with pho and still end up with ball. I can't imagine phi willingly take ball w/o a workout and main colangelo was already making back handed comments bout have obstacles to deal with ball

    Good. I'm glad their listening. Personally, I don't think their "sold" on anybody in this draft...

    I think it could be the opposite in a way. I think they like a lot of kids in this draft. In the end I think they just end up taking the kid they like most (probably Lonzo) but we'll see what happens. I trust them and I'm along for the ride.

    ....

    Green is right.

    Green works.

    Green clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

    Green, in all of its forms -- green for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.

    And green -- you mark my words -- will not only save The Los Angeles Lakers, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.


    Sorry, couldn't help myself.

    I would be happy with either fultz or Ball. But would be a lil irritated if we drafted someone that's not these two....
