    I could understand the rationale, that's why I said backfill. Is the 7-4 Australian still on the board?

    I don’t know anything about our draft pick, but I appreciate the aggressiveness to move up to get a better player. At 55 you’re not likely to get anyone worthwhile, at 36 you have a shot. Nice to see them spend money and not just sit back while other teams make moves. Now, onto watching highlight reels of Adou. He’s an athlete if nothing else

    We're done. We moved up to 45, then traded that again to move to 36.

    We are done. We moved up twice to take Adou. That's our only pick.

    Now we watch and see who doesn't get taken and drops to udfa

    Thiero is an obvious flashing lob threat. Maybe he earns time by mid season…

    The Lakers always trade for a good big- they never develop one.
    We had a chance to develop one, but then Magic…

    Oh, my. @LTLakerFan you might go crazy over this kid's physical gifts; what a freak athlete.

    Hope we spend the time developing correctly. Looks promising, but we'll see.

    thiero looks like a promising prospect, but no big man?

    watch pelinka go yet another offseason without addressing that
