    It can't be overstated how much the basketball gods worked in our favor tonight.

    You know who I want, but Fox destroyed Ball in the tournament. What was it: 38 - 10? The state line was much closer in the regular season when UCLA won. I want Ball, but Fox will be a solid pro IMO.

    Defense, speed, and athleticism. I also just like his attitude, how he comes across in interviews, etc. I openly admit that I could be punishing Lonzo a bit for his dad though.

    Their head to head matchup is hard for me to shake as well

    Seriously...

    I'm thinking we've just about used up our "they owe us". We got three #2 picks in a row. In 2020 people will look back at that with the same skepticism we look at Cleveland after LeBron left. And yes I realize the implications of what I'm suggesting and yes I think we got help from the NBA. :D

    I do too. But the "Magic" connection brings excitement and the NBA is just better when the Lakers are winning.

    Josh Jackson reminds me too much of Justise Winslow, really solid, but not a game changer or a top 2 pick. Plus that hitch in his shot is ugly. And yes I realize that's a weird complaint from a fan of Lonzo Ball.

    Agree with all this except I'm not punishing Ball for his dad. Fox just seems to have that it factor. He bleeds the game, and he reminds me of Iverson's competitiveness and vastly better defense.

    Still, I trust the scouts.

    Nah, Magic's got a woody for Ball I can tell and Fultz ran his mouth already that he was going to be better than Magic himself. Dumb.

    I'm just gonna sit back & watch this unfold.. Gonna try to not get too emotionally invested in any one player or trade scenario.. Just beyond ecstatic that we kept our pick (+moved up)..!!

    Problem with that is that the C Bags can easily outbid us.

    aren't you a Russell fan? Can't a guy be confident, he didn't say he was going to be, he said he wanted to be better than Magic

    They're not gonna outbid us for a rental if they know he's not staying.

    Yeah. I don't think he's right for us but I think he'll end up being solid for someone
