we need to be good again asap. I dont like recognizing other teams as winners. such an empty feelings rooting for other teams and then when they win, I feel nothing. need my dudes to flourish as soon as possible. this cant be a 10 yr thing.

2. Jahlil Okafor

The Lakers will keep crossing their fingers that Towns somehow falls to them. If he doesn't, it sounds like it's down to Okafor versus Russell for No. 2. Both players worked out for the Lakers last week. While neither player necessarily wowed in the workout (Russell was fighting a bug and Okafor struggled a bit with the pace of the workout), neither hurt or separated himself, I'm told. Mudiay also came in for a workout, and while he was impressive in many areas, he didn't shoot the ball as well as he did in other workouts. The Lakers also traveled to Vegas to see Porzingis work out and they interviewed him afterward. They were impressed, but I'm told it's doubtful they'd select him over Okafor or Russell. There are arguments for both players, but I'm told the Lakers fear that getting a quality center via free agency or trade will be much harder than getting a scoring guard. Advantage: Okafor.

And this is what he had to say about the TWolves

1. Karl Anthony Towns

It's a two-man race between Towns and Jahlil Okafor for the No. 1 pick, multiple sources say, even though the Wolves also have been trying to get in D'Angelo Russell, traveled to Vegas to see Kristaps Porzingis and are bringing in Emmanuel Mudiay. Which guy will they take? General manager and coach Flip Saunders has been an Okafor guy all year, but most of his staff is pushing for Towns, who will be a better fit given Minnesota's personnel. Saunders traveled to Thousand Oaks last week to watch Towns work out. After the workout, I kept getting assured that Flip will ultimately turn Towns' way. But it's not a done deal. Okafor was in Minnesota on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thank God
only way they take porzingis is if they trade back 1 or 2 spots.

okafor is the safest pick

taking russell, lots of chatter about taking him and then signing a quality (?)  bigman like Chandler if we dont hit on Gasol, DJ etc.

I really hope Mitch just picks Jahlil, but something about the Clarkson/Russell backcourt is so intriguing to me.
 
at this point, there are so many good options that i don't care who they pick. just give me someone i can root for and dissect their game. june 25th can't come sooner.
 
I want Towns or Okafor.

Russell would be fine and be fine with if we can grab Gasol or Jordan. But that's a huge risk.

Just don't think it's smart to pass on a franchise center when you have a blank spot at Center.
 
3 groups that we have a "real chance at" that I think would be awesome to see drafted together with our picks:

The all "Safety First" Group
Okafor
Young
Holmes

or

The all "This better Work" Group
Russell
Brown
Christmas

or

The all "Mitch's butt on Fire" Group

Kristaps
Vaughn
Upshaw

[quote name="LiCeNseD To BaLL"]Whys my guy KalEl being picked on? :nerd:[/quote]Let's not bring that in here.
 
Nah, no sweat.

Just don't want this to be an another opportunity for the back-and-forth that has already taken place through PMs and 2 threads to spill over into here. :smile:
 
I'm angry George Lucas de Paula dropped out of the draft. He is a huge project but a guy we could develop over the long term.
