Ballers Wanna Ball, Rollers Wanna Roll, But We're Taking All--The Official 2017-2018 Lakers Thread

[I AM WARHOL]

We better get Paul George...because I still want Josh Jackson. But him, George, and Ingram probably won't work. And Jackson is a guy who is going to need the ball in his hands to reach his full potential. I think draft "experts" are really underrating him. Boston should take him at 1 to be honest.

Preach. If it was me, i make Ingram Josh and paul work. I think josh at the 2, Ingram at 3, and paul at the 4, could definitely work in the era despite what others think. But I can understand that with Lonzo the fit seems easier. I still don't think we are at the point where we should be looking at fit over bpa tho.

Jackson playing out of position and excelling, and his shooting struggles has people thinking he can't play the 2. But I still see him has a 2. 24/7 sports gave him their highest rating of all time out of HS while projecting him as a 2

Why Kansas signee Josh Jackson is so special

Great video. Hopefully some other teams see this and get suckered in.

I would love JJ too but its clear they are going with Lonzo since they are so obsessed with PG and there is no way PG is playing the 4. Bird told him to play the 4 and he criticized it every post game lol

I get the funny feeling Randle might show out this year for that contract. Ain't he a restricted FA next offseason?

Yeah it's a forgone conclusion at this point. Lol that's why you tell him he's playing the 3 until you play memphis and make his guard zbo

Exactly. Trying to see him shooting jumpers. Not mad at him getting that work in tho

Yup his contract is coming up, I don't think Luke is high on him or Russell. Both will need to have great years if they want to be on Lakers after next year

Team hasn't had a respectable PG since Van Exel. It's time.

I'm hoping that happens. At best, we've finally got a young team showing it's potential that can grow with Lonzo and at worse they can up their trade value. Artest was a good mentor for Randle, we might've had it wrong all along maybe he should model himself after Artest.
