is this what u want?? russel + randle + JC??

[bobopenguin]

dammit, FK.

why draft Russel when we already have JC.
u think this backcourt is gonna be better than spalsh bro or wall+beal or rose+jimmy??
FK.
u could have trade for Cousins!!!

We are rebuilding there buddy. And in a rebuild, you collect young and talented assets and give them playing time and see which ones are good. The bad ones, we can discard without taking a significant cap hit.

I know some of you Laker fans want to win right away but some of us Laker fans want to rebuild the right way and have some patience. Not mortgage our future (again) to win now.

You talk about clarkson like he is some transcending player at the point. I'm not entirely sold on him. He put up decent numbers but that was on a team with one of the worst records and a green light. Russell has the potential to be a game changer at the point.

Also, the off season is not over. There is a good chance they can land a big like Aldridge, love or Monroe.

Lmao they passed on Okafor and Mudiay might even be better than this guy. But mostly they passed on Okafor. Lakers management is retarded

i think we have a chance at LMA, hopefully SA will let us take him.
hmm.. at this stage, i think we should go for Deandre. we need interior defense and rebound security, but his FT..

They won't keep JC. He'll be in the trade for Cousins or Love.

Lol JC + 1st rounder is not even close to worth Cousins or Love and the Lakers have no one worth half a shit right now.

[LoneyROY7]

lol at these Laker fans trying to hype up Jordan Clarkson. Congrats, he played decent with a bunch of legit D-Leaguers last season.

[bobopenguin]

the only way to get cousins was #2 + JC/Randle + filler.
now we aim for LMA or Love or DJ or Monroe through FA.
say goodbye to cousins.

[buddha]

some teams like the Wolves have to rebuild through the draft. others like the Lakers can rebuild through FA.

Philly is stacked with bigs. What do you think are the chances of trading one of them (Noel) for Clarkson and another piece? They desparately need guards.

LA probably wants a proven big with some experience.

yeah, surely they dont need all embiid/noels/okafor.
i guess they will try them out and decide who to dump later on.
btw, is embiid clear to play this season?

[ClipperRevival]

LA probably wants a proven big with some experience.

But why? We are in rebuild mode and aren't trying to win now. A guy like Noel is an absolute beast on D when motivated. Why not try to get a guy like him and let him develop with our other youngsters and see what happens? Philly has no many bigs. It can't hurt to try. Now tnat we have Russ, Clarkson is more expendable even though I love the guy.

[Mr. Jabbar]

except cousins aint winning shit for anyone.
