According to the article, players /agents are looking at the team and seeing that they're 2 deep at every spot, so not only do they suck, you also gotta compete for playing time.

Think about it

C Jokic /Nurkic
PF Faried /Lauvergne
SF Gallinari /Chandler
SG Barton /Harris
PG Mudiay /Nelson

and all those guys are on long term deals. If you're a rookie, how do you break through?

Imma say it again, if any team needs to say "fukk it" and go all in, it's not Boston. It's Denver. Take whatever platter of guys you have and go after Cousins. You got the coach. You got the picks. You got the depth.

Portland ain't goin nowhere. OKC if they keep their guys together are gonna be around. Utah's on their way up. Minnesota's the most fellated team right now in terms of their core. Denver can't stand pat, cuz the reality is that they don't have a player on the level of Towns or Lillard, or KD /Westbrook or even Hayward /Favors

Denver is definitely a team that needs to make a 3 for 1 kind of trade. They've had a year to evaluate their talent, they should know who to keep and who to move by now.

I'd move nurkic, chandler and Barton

They really aren't set at SF, Gallo & Chandler can't stay healthy and shouldn't be roadblocks to drafting an SF.

The one downside to that is that if Jaylen Brown ain't there at 7, they're screwed on that front (though I can see them going after Korkmaz or Luwawu at 15).

I'd still push my chips in for Cousins and assume Malone is his Cus D'Amato

T.O.
Anyone know why Thon Maker is being underrated?

I personally would take him over Brandon Ingram (who will be an epic bust IMO).

I like this comparison.



Top 3 picks in 2016

1. Ben Simmons
2. Thon Maker
3. Jaylen Brown

The rest of this dudes are basura.


Because he's been complete ass against any decent competition and in some games he was invisible...I witnessed one of those games personally...

Bosh comparison is amusing at best...

Or just go real young and trade Gallo Faried Barton etc

He's 7'1" with crazy athleticism.

I'd take a chance on him before most of these guys.

Size and athleticism like this doesn't come along very often.

Then why are they trying to trade their pick from last year then?
really just a bad rumor, there is zero chance of the Lakers drafting DLo unless youre getting boogie or a player of his caliber back. Lakers would probably take him at 2 in this years draft

Why are the Lakers overly complicating things? :francis:

I dunno bro

Ingram is the obvious play

If they dont want ingram they need to trade the pick for another top 5 pick and assets. Dont draft someone else at 2

They wouldn't get that... Ingram has done himself no favors since college ball ended

It's not like it's a lock the Celtics would jump on Ingram at 3

It's not a rumor, consider the source, it's legit, and it makes sense...

Russell probably has enemies in that locker room and understandably so

it makes no sense whatsoever, and Lakers don't leak out info like that anyways. every "source" thought we were taking Okafor last year, and you see how that turned out.

nick young may not like DLo, but who cares about him, trade him
