^ I wouldn't go that far, but I'd put him somewhere between Greg Oden and Brandon Roy.
No, thank you! Like trd said, you nailed it and I couldn't have said it better myself. I just love this forum.
Awesome post @lakerjones
To be fair, no one was impressed by Okafor bricking threes with that funky jumpshot of his :D Both Russell and Okafor need to play 5-on-5 in an...
No. Bigs with foot injuries are a recipe for disaster.
Exactly, it's a simple equation. We should spend the majority of our cap space for a SF, split the rest on a backup PF/C, and we're back in business!!
Honestly, I'd dump it every play if it works. I don't really care if it's old-school. If they can't stop it, keep exploiting it.
@RandleROFY I agree that Towns would work better as a 4, a la Dirk. And a dedicated rebounder like Chandler at 5 would be nice too.
I'd pay very close to the max for even a 2nd-tier SF this offseason. The way I see it, we are decent at every other position just by adding cheap...
Exactly my thought, and I prefer a big that bangs inside and fights for boards.
Carroll sounds like a great fit for our team. We have enough ball-dominant players in Kobe, Clarkson, Randle, and possibly Okafor. @trodgers...
I've gone over this before, so I'll just say this.... I agree that a big's ability to 'stretch the floor' is a valuable asset. However, it is not...
So wait, who's a better signing, Carroll or Harris?
With all the talk about the front office prioritizing character, and our failed experiment with Dwight, I'm with @therealdeal and I cringe at the...
Agreed. I just want to point out that he added a crucial element to his game that he never would have developed in Memphis.... toughness. That...
There's no doubt that Towns is a better fit. I'd still take Okafor though because I feel he is a superior talent, and I also feel that a big's...
I'm not sure I can agree to that. I think the winning culture of the Lakers transformed him into a great player. Environment has a lot to do...
That too, but even pre-injury (and signing with the 76ers) I feel he never tapped his full potential with the Clips. Just like how Pau was rotting...
I don't think it's a matter of commitment. If Clarkson, Randle, and Okafor don't play up to our huge expectations, we aren't making the playoffs,...
I think there are a few things to consider. 1. Duncan/Robinson were seniors, Shaq was a junior, and Brand was a sophmore as rookies entering the...
