Kudos to y'all at least for doing everything else right. Langdon will do wonders for y'all. That said, don't run to give Ingram an extension.

Who would y'all take at 4?

Depending on what the deal is with these future picks/pick swaps and their protections... I think this is a damn fine haul for AD. I'm not terribly worried about any injury concerns with the Lakers rugrats considering Aaron Nelson is heading the training staff now. And their player development is probably WOAT in the league with how notably D'Lo, Randle, and others like Brook Lopez have blossomed after leaving LA so I'm confident at least one if not all of them will eventually develop into worthwhile players with us. Hopefully Ingram specifically does so quickly this year due to his upcoming extension; it'd be nice to finally have a fukking wing player that's actually worth the $$ we pay them and Ingram's ceiling is still definitely very high if his blood clots don't ever come back like they're apparently not supposed to thankfully.

Future looking bright y'all, foot on neck season begins soon for all the haters and their hot takes during that shytshow at the deadline :ufdup::PierreUMad::Jru3venile:

Oh and I just realized we went from an almost all-Kentucky team to an all-Duke team with a UCLA backcourt. Hopefully this format works out better for us :russ:

I will be following yall closely this season. Ingram has all star potential and Zo and Jrue is gonna be one of the best defensive backcourt in years. Good luck
I think it was a win win. Bringing in Bron put y’all in win now mode so y’all have a shot now if y’all get FAs. We in the long game over here so I hope a change of scenery helps Lonzo (if we keep him) and Ingram reach their full potential.

I wanted the Celtics package cuz I still think Tatum will be a star but oh well. If anyone thinks we waited in Feb because Ainge told us too then they’re dumb. Waiting was always going to be the move. We got all the pieces we wanted from LA this Feb except instead of Kuzma (who Griff isn’t really high on) we got three 1st rders. This is why it was important to wait.

It’s on our staff now to get these young guys to thrive cuz while they showed flashes in LA, nothing about either of them ever really jumped out to me. Though Ingram was looking nice before the blood clot.
