I think we should be aiming for the 96-97 Lakers. No shortcuts here, establish a long term foundation. I know I want Boogie, but that's if the Kings panic and make a dumb move. Let them come to us. Otherwise I'm happy to sit tight and watch this team develop.
 
Highly relevant:

Just simmed a full season on 2k with LMA on the Show (serious):
D'Lo- 17p/6r/7a
LMA- 19/9
Randle- 12/7
Clarkson- 13/4/6
Kobe- 15/4/3

31-51 record :rofl: :rofl:

So hard getting LMA contract with Kobes :lol:

Aside from Russell's numbers being high, this seems really plausible. :lol:
 
Haha that actually might be pretty accurate besides DLo's inflated stats lol.

I want next year to look something like:

Russel
Kobe
Durant
Randle
LMA

Clarkson
Brown/Ellington
Young
Black
Upshaw

The Lakers were so secretive Adrian Wojnarowski couldn't scoop the D'Angelo Russell draft pick
By Drew Garrison  @DrewGarrisonSBN on Jun 27, 2015, 3:59p

The Los Angeles Lakers surprised many when the decision came in that D'Angelo Russell was their selection with the second overall selection in the 2015 NBA Draft. Most signals indicated the Lakers were en route to going with Jahlil Okafor as their next franchise big man, but buzz around Russell and the Lakers gained momentum throughout the day. It reached a point where ESPN's Chad Ford updated his mock draft moments before the draft began just to project D'Angelo to Los Angeles.

This is where Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports -- the mighty Woj-Bomber himself -- comes in. Wojnarowski is the boogie man lurking in every corner, breaking every story and taking no front office prisoners. He is the one who knocks, and draft night is one of his favorite events to flex his prowess. Only, this year, with the Lakers on the clock and their draft pick in the air, even he was in the dark.

The first sign of the Lakers keeping their decision stitched to their vest came just as the actual draft selection process -- not the pre-show -- began. All it took was one word to see that the Lakers had sent media for a loop. IF:

Things didn't change once the Lakers were officially on the clock. As fans awaited Mitch Kupchak's decision, so did Wojnarowski. Minutes passed without any breaking report of who the purple and gold were going to take. GQ Magazine interviewed the NBA's breaking news artist, and it sounds like Mitch's ninja training came in handy until the final moments before the pick was official:

So do you know all these picks going in, before the draft even starts?

I feel like I have a pretty good framework of how it might go. But even the Laker one though, to the end, I wasn't sure. Jahlil Okafor and D'Angelo Russell's agents, they were sitting right in front of me, and they were looking at me, going, do you know yet? And I didn't.

And that, my friends, is how you defuse a Woj-bomb.
 
I specifically made sure to not be on Twitter while the Lakers were on the clock to avoid any spoiler from Woj or Momo (she spoiled Randle last year).
 
That story is wrong. Woj ruined the D-Lo pick for me. I saw it on Twitter on accident. Unless I read the article wrong.

Now that I think about it, Woj might have tweeted it out right before Silver made the announcement. I went to Twitter right after the pick was announced, and Woj's tweet was on my TL, I think.

@DraftExpress Woj knows about the Lakers taking Russell before Russell's table did. Hilarious.

That's true he tweeted it before Silver came out but it wasn't a big significant time like the other draft picks. Woj was tweeting the Mudiay pick while it was in commercial break :lol:
 
I got mad respect for Woj, but when did it become good reporting to announce a pick 30 seconds before its official? Seriously, no one should get credit for that. Just spinning their wheels.
