Fate is a cruel mistress. We had the second worst record and got the fourth pick in a three superstar draft. We can still get a player, but I doubt we can get a superstar.
Seriously, fuck the Lakers.

This...Hoping this happens....
Berger is reporting that Philly wants to trade up with LA to draft Russell at 2.
Wow.
Shakeup at the top? League sources say the Sixers want D'Angelo Russell and are willing to trade up from the No. 3 spot to get him. It would create an interesting opportunity for the Lakers, who could still get Jahlil Okafor and extract a future pick in the process. Among others, the Sixers control the Lakers' 2016 first-round pick, which is top-3 protected
What I want to know is why the hell we aren't trying to trade up! Nominally speaking, it'd only be two spots which can't be that great a leap for us. And more importantly, Phil is boning the team owner! You'd think he'd get a hometown discount or something in the deal.

Other than Phil's bedroom talents and great charm, what exactly do we have to offer the Lakers at this point in time??
Do tell.
Does he really need more than the 4th pick, another late first rounder and some of that 6"9' vintage loving to get it done?
He does, because we would be coming to them for something. Not sure love counts in this kind of deal.

Take Muldiay, he could possibly be the 2nd best player in the draft and can help immediately. Winslow was on Francesa today and telling him how difficult Muldiay was to cover given his size, strength and atheleticsm. Kid can create, defend and Wall had a worst outside shot coming into NBA
who the fuck is przinski? could you atleast get his name right?
not to mention the basis of this thread is just stupidity to begin with..
