And on a side note I like Vecenie and he knows the game but he's too wrapped up in analytical nerd number crunching with players when evaluating them sometimes

You only leak misinfo on a player when you want him to drop to you

not true
extort more assets in trade packages

That too but I doubt the Lakers are trading the pick

you still leak it just to see whats out there imo

Even judging current NBA players. He says Devin Booker is not a very good player and barely a NBA starter because of some bs analytics.

Interesting that DSJ reportedly impressed the Lakers. It's probably just a smokescreen on their part, but it's SO clear to me that he's the best player in this draft and I wonder if Magic saw that as well.

I do not get why people like Fox over him. Fox is a good prospect but man if DSJ pans out he could be a potential 3 level scorer with a savvy P&R game and top tier athleticism.

While I agree i think between this and the Ball leaks it makes aense

people saying the Lakers leaking the Ball info as a smokescreen because they want to take him makes no sense

You only leak misinfo on a player when you want him to drop to you and the Lakers known Ball will be for them at 2

Agreed I think they weren't that impressed by Lonzo's workout. But Lonzo's best attribute isn't going to show up in a one on none workout.

That's unfortunate.

Fultz meeting with L.A

Philly still not being able to get in the room with some of these niccas. Don't they know the tank is over....we won't do you like Jahlil.

@Poitier I heard De Paula is keeping his name in.

I wonder what Eliezer-Vanerot and Birutis are going to do.

 

[str8up]

I'm glad Kulboka withdrew, not too high on him right now.

I've been following him since he broke the Nash trade to the Lakers. He's legit. I'm wondering why it's not most likely Philly? Has Josh not worked out for them?

On the radio earlier he was saying that Jackson had only worked out for LA, not Philly or the Suns, and that was why he felt it was most likely LA.

Jacksons best fit in the top 5 is Phoenix

Lakers better just settle in w that damn Ball family and not fukk this up for us

Unless they are trying to work the Kings for that 5 + 10 deal, in which case downplaying Ball and praising the other pg prospects makes a lot of sense, both of which they've done. Maybe they figure they can snag Ball at 5.
