    I think we would still end up with Ball. Phoenix would take Fultz. Philly needs a shooter.

    And to clarify, the article said we MIGHT be interested in doing that trade with Phoenix IF they were to offer it.

    From there, the insinuation is that we are willing to move down. Sacramento has discussed moving up. So the 5 and 10 for 2 seems likes complete speculation.

    TL;DR of my post: I'd do either trade. I don't see either Phx/Sac willing to do it. Lakers section of the article mainly seems like speculation

    i think all the bluster about trades and such is due to the evenness of talent at the top of the draft. i'd be surprised if anything happens prior to draft night, but things could get really interesting on that night.

    Sounds to me like both the Lakers and C Bags are playing games trying to coax teams to trade up. I don't think it happens unless Sacramento really is dumb enough to do it. Two lottery picks for one? Dumb move but I'll take it.

    Oh and I still believe absolutely nothing from Ford. He has connections like LeBron has hair.

    ford's a KU guy--wonder if he's doing jackson a solid with the buzz.

    anyway, something that knocks fultz down is just dandy by me. strongly doubt it.

    Just got an ESPN update to my phone -- says Ball considering working out for other Lottery teams.

    Nah ... come on LaVar. Double down on your boy and tell the press Lakers would be stupid to not take him. Sounds like a bit of nervous time if true. Feel for Lonzo. He's just gone along with this whole orchestrated campaign. Better wow Magic and Rob and Luke with whatever you do in your personal workouts and that 2nd meeting. Magic's all about "winnin' time".

    I gotta be honest, I get all the scouting reports and whatnot but it has always bothered me that I was never impressed with anything Fulton did during an actual game. We talk about Fox vs Ball but Fultz got worked As well and his team was awful. I can believe Boston isn't sold on him.

    I like Tatum. He's a pretty horrid fit for us, but I like him.

    highly doubt it happens, but if boston takes jackson #1 do the lakers go with fultz over ball?

    If Boston isn't sold on him, then great. I like Fultz; probably more than any other prospect.

    Either way, guys, thoughts on Luke Kennard? He's moving up quickly in these drafts....

    I'm crazy but I'd trade down to Sacto for 5 & 10.

    Then trade 10+Moz to Brooklyn for Brook Lopez

    With 5 I would draft Ball or Fox .... if neither are there I would gamble on Frank Ntilikana. Amazing size for a PG at 6'5" and a 7'0" wingspan
