    Be careful with the groupies, D'Angelo. Of all types.

    Disagree. Nevertheless, we drafted Russell, and I am very hopeful he'll prove his skeptics wrong. :)

    Has anyone heard/read/seen coverage about Towns? It's mostly been Russell for me, maybe I just have selective hearing/sight.

    All I've learned about Towns post-draft is that he's good buddies with D'Angelo.

    Nothing major. A night or two after the draft he was in Minnesota working out already at their facility.

    Well, at least he decided not to be 4th center for the pathetic excuse of a franchise.

    Welcome to LA, and to internet fame indeed lol. Maybe this is why they are staring at you? I can see the resemblance, but that's just wrong on so many levels. :)

    Why? If I'm way wrong in what I said above, I'd kind of like to know in those short observations with Jahlil and Towns? I'm not a has-to-have-last-word guy. Could care less. Just not understanding what I have wrong here. At the very least, having Okafor right now, with him in the gym and sweating it up pumped for us..... like he is in the gym sweating it up for Philadelphia even though not happy right now as I type ...... would be an excellent selling point for L.A. He gets to play forward and we are not looking for or worried about finding a big man. Boom Boom there to play small ball if needed for more speed. Meanwhile Upshaw with great "upside" in the wings, and Sacre happy for 3rd string minutes. L.A.'s I'm not a center butt is covered without giving up valuable pieces of our promising young players.

    Russell just talked to Kobe for the first time yesterday. Can't wait to see them together!

    He's been doing late night workouts and charity work basically everyday since he got drafted. They love him over in Minnesota.

    Yeah. Hopefully the Okafor talk will go away soon. Or at least move out of the Russell thread.
