    I think the Lakers would be ecstatic to land Lonzo OR Jackson but would definitely take Fultz if he slid.

    LOL. I'll put it to you this way: if Ramona had reported the same exact information on Ball, most if not all the Ball supporters wouldn't be saying "smokescreen".

    Instead, we'd be saying, the complete opposite.

    Seriously, I don't know what to believe anymore.

    We knew we were going to get nothing from Mitch.

    Magic and Rob are a completely new animal.

    Now if the C Bags got Butler out of all of this, I would seriously be mad.

    Russell has unprecedented stats for a guard at his age. I'll stick with Russ over anyone in this draft

    exciting times. C Bags might end up with Butler and future picks, Bulls with Okafor and 3rd, Sixers with 1, a few second rounders

    Agreed, you can't go wrong with any of these three frontrunners.

    They're aiming for him.

    I mean, isn't Hayward or Griffin more compelled to join the C Bags if Butler is on the team provided the C Bags have enough space financially?

    Come on LVB Man the hell up here. You sat up on the damn hill with your binoculars while I was down in this f******* huge tank fighting the whole second half. Now you're "scurred" when it is crunch time? Don't you want to see the Lakers play like you see in these clips???? God I love it. Look at Lonzo he's 19 and a hell of an athlete too with good hops and looooong. Picture him in 2 years! Picture him in 1 year. I can't wait to see how our whole roster is doing even come the trade deadline this year and having him elevate everyone's game like he did at UCLA. Man Up .... Sir!!

    :Laugh:

    So from the most recent rumors, sounds like:

    Boston - Butler
    Philly - #1
    Chicago - Okafor and #3

    That sounds like a win for most, huge gamble from Philly though if their players don't pan out. Boston get's the wing they need and Chicago starts rebuilding with Jackson.

    Based on the 3 Way trade rumors out there involving C Bags/76ers/Bulls, can someone who is more familiar with the C Bags cap situation answer something for me?

    If based on what's reported that the C Bags would get back Jimmy Butler, would they still have cap space in free agency to also offer Gordon Hayward a max contract?

    If they can make it happen, a core of IT/Butler/Hayward/Horford can actually put a scare to the Cavs in the east
