ot: Lakers draft

[boldarblood]

Love the Lakers pick ,Brandon Ingram.

i have him as a better fit than Simmons . And its debatable who is the better player.

2nd pick looks good also, position of need. Late 1st round talent.

The Lakers should draft my farts. I had to withhold so many stink-bombs while stuck in that miserable L.A. traffic. That city owes me.

It's good to hear the Lakers stink worse than the farts from my single days.

doh, should have known to check there, hah.

ps feel free to delete or move this to appropriate place.

I moved it, but since I'm not a "mod" in the End Zone, I can't merge them.

Lakers as of now:
PG: Russel/L. Williams
SG: Clarkson/L. Williams (Clarkson is a RFA, but is expected to re-sign)
SF: Ingram/N. Young/ A. Brown (really need to move Nick Young)
PF: Randle/Nance
C: Zubac

That's only 9 players (and really 8, if you don't count Clarkson)...with one (Young), needing to go.
-Really need a FA big man. Some of the current guys can be brought back, but I think they are going to let Hibbert go.
I expect Bass to leave, and Black to probably return.
I think the Drafting of Zubac is the end of Bob Sacre.
I hope Ryan Kelly is gone. He's just not an NBA player. Too big and slow on defense, and doesn't shoot it well enough to be a "shooting" big man.

“I asked the referee, ‘What, am I not allowed to break wind a little?’ ‘No,’ he replied … I don’t get it but maybe he thought I farted in my hand and threw the fart at him. But I did not.”

The last part of the article must have been about Nick Novak's soccer days.

how do you say He who smelt it, dealt it, in Swedish?

Love the "But I did not" line. Good wind.

Yeah I am completely on the fence with Kelly, at first he looked like he might be a decent stretch forward. But he has regressed since then, is that him as a player or was that Scott the coach being terrible.

I would like to see them go after a starting center, Al Horford, Hassan Whiteside, Bismack Biyombo or Festus Ezeli. And a back court guy like DeMar Derozan (most likely being a local kid), Harrison Barnes, Nicolas Batum, along those line of players. Then you have your least unlikely player in Durant, but I think he either stays in OKC, or goes to Golden State or San Antonio if he decided to leave.

I think there #1 target is going to be Whiteside, although I worry about his character fit in the locker room on such a young team.

I would go with DeMar Derozan and either Biyombo or Ezeli - who both deserve a chance at a starting position (dark horse could be Dwight Howard, but I am hoping that ship sailed). A rotation of Biyombo/Ezeli, Black and Zubac would be a decent Center trio. Give the young kids a few years and I think they can start to become competitive.
