    Correct. I should have written a LeBron or Kawhi type player.

    I bet he was literally sweating bullets in that lottery ball room. And getting the #2 pick was literally the greatest thing ever.

    I'm just going to leave this hear, so happy for him, Magic, Jeanie, and the entire Lakers Fan Base. We did it and survived!









    And this just made me laugh

    So the GM's knew before it was announced to the team representatives or was that behind the scenes while it wa being announced.

    Pelinka was the Laker witness. Each team has a rep. They are then isolated from their colleague so Pelinka couldn't tell Magic

    Yes, GM's or reps from every NBA team knew about 1 hour before it aired on TV. These reps are basically held in that room, cell phones taken, until its announced to the world.

    Here is the full video of the process if you were curious

    Thanks.

    My heart was racing just watching the announcement, I can't imagine being in that room for them to announce it.

    Good for Rob, and a great sign for us moving forward.

    Anyone wanna talk Heyward and Jimmy Butler? I don't love them as fits next to George and think Ingram ceiling can be higher with more time.
