    Yes I would trade the #2 pick for a 21 year-old Dirk Nowitzki. In fact, I'd give up any one of our young players for Porzingis.

    7 feet tall, great rim protector, can shoot three's, take players off the dribble, he's got the size, length, and mobility players his size just don't have.

    Just a rare talent.

    Love the kid's heart and demeanor. Seems the opposite of DLo in a lot of ways.

    They tried but Dallas wasn't interested in Russell for their 9th pick.

    Fox sounds very smart/professional, reminds me of KAT

    I still wouldn't mind trading down if it meant we got Fox.

    Yup DLo was not in high demand. This is why I think the team did well getting Lopez, a pick, and dumping Moz

    I knew there was something off about Ball.

    Time to get MWP's therapist on the line.

    Any peeps out there playing around with any trade ideas besides George? Even if it takes #2, possibly trading down and getting a player or two?

    Porzingis is interesting. I think we go Ball and see what the kid can be.

    Phil thought they'd keep Shaq over Kobe. Jeannie had to explain Business 101 to Phil (something he still hasn't learned). Jeannie said Kobe was guaranteed ticket sales for another 10 years.

    Ball's public intrigue is at least a factor in his draft stock with the Lakers. The fact that he is also a good fit for the franchise and the coach is a factor as well, but his financials are absolutely on the minds of every one of our evaluators.
