    Mitch always makes the correct decision. As I've been saying, anyone we pick will be much better as a Laker than he would be with another team.

    Jahlil Okafor reportedly wants to be picked by the LA Lakers. His chances of that happening just got much much higher.

    Glad you posted that. I knew I read this somewhere; but how reliable is Ford?

    Both camps want their guy in LA.



    We'll see who puts more pressure on Minny to make that happen. Okafor did not look happy with Minny getting the ##1 pick. So f***ing glad my prediction of a #2 pick was right. We were due. Either one will be a massive step in the right direction and a good building block going forward. That said, I want Okafor.

    What kind of spacing does a Lakers lineup with Julius Randle, Jahlil Okafor, Jordan Clarkson (31% 3P%) and Kobe Bryant (29% 3P%) have?

    Unfortunately, this is true. Clarkson needs to be at least 36-38% next year; Randle needs to make that shot automatic from 15 on out, and Kobe is smart enough to attack in different ways to compensate. This makes getting a wing like D. Green so key...

    So neither of them want to go to Minnesota? LOL, so the question is who we want?

    Okafor would do himself to start getting a jump shot from 15 on out as well; could diversify his attack make the game easier for him...

    Guys, guys. We are over thinking this. All we need to know is that whoever this wolves choose is guaranteed to bust. Therefore, we're basically guaranteed the best player in the draft.

    Honestly with Pek, I think Towns would be a more natural fit there. Not sure why they prefer Okafor.

    Every report so far has said that the T-Wolves prefer Okafor over Towns. Would be thrilled if that's actually the case.

    BTW, the matchup the Lakers are definitely going to set up between Okafor and Towns will be f***ing epic.

    Funny as hell. Not so Zen of them... I just heaved my big-a** stapler through my office ceiling! Didn't know it was hollow...now I can see the phone wires. Might not have a job after this...
