    I agree, and I'm not going to give up the farm. No way.

    Why would a Winslow deal set the standard? Who's this clown?

    Wouldn't be shocked at all if the 76ers take Ball. Either way Lakers get incredible value by somehow ending up with Fultz or they get Ball, Jackson, or Fox. Neither of these options should leave any Lakers fan feeling dissapointed.

    This sucks. They should have given us the number 1 pick.

    Does it? Lakers are still getting a damn good player regardless of what happens.

    Felt the same last two years. Timberwolves take Towns in 2015 and he's great, but Lakers end up with a really good prospect who still has All Star potential.

    Last year you get Brandon Ingram #2 who you could make an argument would be in serious consideration for #1 this year.

    Philly needs shooting desperately. Fultz is absolutely the pick for them. Also why have a pass first Ball and Simmons in the same line-up together.

    Supposedly end game for Boston is to stock pile picks to trade to Bulls for Jimmy Butler and then go after Blake Griffin not Hayward

    Yeah if Philly makes this move, it's not to pull a surprise move and take Lonzo. They're going to take Fultz and he'll fit in really well over there.

    I'm guessing Philly doesn't want to be left holding what's left after Fultz and Ball are taken. They need shooters just as badly as we do. Fultz however is more versatile than Ball offensively and since they're grooming Simmons as their PG, Fultz fits best there. Ball still after everything fits best here.

    Danny Ainge is kicking a**. Even "The Process" is about to flower in success. I think that is revealing how our front office was not keeping in step.

    Sounds like Philly is the one pushing the narrative... Cool. I don't want to be the team that gets screwed over in a deal. Especially not to that weasel faced a**hole Danny Ainge.

    Assuming you meant to type their first target.... yes if nothing happened. But you never know with Ainge. That's a killer squad

    Blake
    Butler
    Horford
    Bradley
    Thomas

    If Boston/Ainge are "all-in", then you shouldn't be.
