I'd trade Russell straight up for Cousins today, although it's not going to happen. Not high on this pick at all.
Thank you. My sentiments exactly CarolinaLakerFan. I think we blew it.
I'm definitely bummed on this draft. Exact opposite feeling as last year when I was thrilled to get Randle. I never would have taken Russell...
Guess this isn't happening. :heartbreak::cry:
We shall see. Kid has a lot he needs to prove, at least where I'm coming from. Again, I don't get paid to make these decisions, so it doesn't...
Not going to mince words here - I think this is an incredibly risky move and I'm not in favor of it at all. He's a talented kid and a bona fide...
In an earlier segment on the same NBA TV pre-draft with Rick Fox, Mitch himself wouldn't divulge, but from the things he said it seemed like he...
Ding was on NBA TV with Rick Fox saying most of the guys upstairs for the Lakers want Russell. He's sticking with his story, that it looked like...
I don't want Randle playing the SF, generally speaking. If it is what has to happen to give him minutes with LMA, then so be it. But otherwise...
Wow, that looks pretty sweet!!
^^ Seeing Mitch talk with Rick Fox on NBA TV pre-draft special pretty much confirmed to me that we're picking Okafor. I'm all good with that. I...
Agreed. Gasol was at the top of my list but it's been clear pretty much all season that he's not going anywhere. Given that, LMA's at the top....
Definitely a possibility. I'll take Okafor's methodical approach though when it comes to post play. I think he definitely has a burning desire...
Agreed on the aggressiveness. Remember when Randle had his way with Draymond Green in the pre-season game (although hard to remember that far back!).
Honestly though I'm not buying that he somehow sucked all of a sudden or that it made much difference. They scouted him somewhere between 15 and...
Maybe it's the left hand, but more likely it's the ability Randle has for putting the ball on the floor and leading a break that reminds me more...
Tonight should be filled with drama the way all of this is playing out.
I think his size makes one think of Draymond. And his athleticism for being that size. But yeah, Randle is kind of a freak though in a way that...
Seems like a really good kid. Cocky, yes, but I like the assuredness. Can get his own shot, can set the table for others. Really, I don't see...
Man, am I conflicted right now. I've been in the Okafor camp for weeks now. I still prefer Okafor by a big margin. To me it was a no brainer to...
