Knicks · D'Angelo Russell cancels workout with Philly after Lakers workout (page 4)

This makes me think that Okafor is going to the Lakers and Russell might just be trying to avoid the Sixers.

Is it possible that Phil has not chosen to ask him in for some reason?

Could he have gotten a guarantee from the Lakers?

I think Okafor knows he should go top 2 in this draft basically.

On draft lottery night he tweeted how pleased he was with the results and posted some photos of him in a Sixers uniform. Also weird is his workout was scheduled the same day as junkie was going to see Porzingis in vegas

will/should/could/might/... and the next in the progression is

what the heck, I was drafted 6th? (Nerlens Noel after it finally sunk in that Anthony Bennett went #1 while he went #6)

To be honest, I'm not as high on Russell as some people- I think with that attitude, he could just as easily end up like Deron Williams (the Nets version) than Steph Curry.

He is made for LA or NY.

Have to do more research on him since I never thought he could be available to us.

Depends on what the Lakers do, obviously.

Philly has some choice to make if LA takes OK4, who loves the Lakers, and they have a choice between Russell and Porzingis.

I've always accepted the idea that they set themselves up to get him this year. At some point this Hinkie fellow has to create a team and do more than just collect assets.

We will still get a great player, whatever happens.

Welp, we'll see what happens. The only good thing is we know the knicks have made plans based on him not falling from the start.
