[pmatic]

Anthony Brown

Long, athletic at 6'7
23 years old by Opening Night
Killer three point shooter
Competent defender

Actually, that sounds a lot like Wes Johnson. :x

But here's a pretty thorough breakdown: http://www.celticsblog.com/2015/5/2...-second-round-2015-nba-draft-profile-stanford

Andrew Harrison! Kid will have boulder on his shoulder and if his ego is under control.... He's a fit for us.

He's better than Jeremy Lin or any backup option that late imo

 

[pmatic]

Ewww.

 

[darthska]

Nah to a Harrison.

They had their moments for us (UK), but we (NBA fans) will never hear from them again.

Here's a question...

The Lakers owe the Suns their 2016 pick (top 3 protected, but I don't see LA getting that lucky)... So consider that gone.

Does LA still owe Orlando their 2017 1st round pick? I thought you couldn't trade back to back 1st round picks?
If that's the case, would the Lakers keep their 2017 pick and Orlando gets their 2017 & 2018 2nd round picks?

The last pick from the Lakers deal with the Magic is a 2017 top 5 protected 1st round pick.
If the Magic do not get a 1st round pick from the Lakers in 2017, the pick turns into 2017 & 2018 2nd round picks.

coconut shoulders > boulder shoulders

We're going to need pics, videos, and cliff notes of these late round dudes you guys speak of.

I'm not even going to fake it, I have no clue who they are

Hook us up Mel Kiper's.

Timothe Luwawu - definitely a pick for a guy at the end of your bench, hoping he could develop. But that's what you're doing for all 2nd Rounders. Has some tools that make him intriguing, but he's a couple years away.

SoHi, I posted it yesterday, we get our 2017 back, and owe 2016 to Philly, and 2018 to Orlando.

The 2016 goes to the Sixers (see Brandon Knight, MCW trade)

If 2016 goes to Sixers, then the 2017 stays with us. And 2018 1st Rounder goes to the Magic


If the Sixers don't get it in 2016, then it goes to Sixers in 2017, and Magic get 2 2nd Round Picks.


Damnit CP

 

[CP1708]

Gotta be quicker old fella. Young guys like me spry aroun' here

 

[sohi 23]

thanks fellas.

Not really worried about the picks but I would be intrigued with swapping picks with Philly for the rights to our 2016 pick.

 

[CP1708]

They have ZERO incentive to do that. They know they get choice of Mudiay/Russell regardless, AND they hope and pray we suck again but only bad enough for say the 4th-14th pick.

And pick #3 is cheaper salary slot than #2.

Zero incentive.

Yeah, they would've given MCW away to move up 1 spot in the draft

...

Nothing to do right now but think of funny trades, potential signings & watch youtube videos of upcoming picks.

 

[noblekane]

So next years pick is for sure phillys? No protection?

 

[CP1708]

Top 3 protected.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Lakers should tank again and win it.

 

[nick.]

i voted for Mudiay in the poll 

 

[rck3sactown]

 

[619destroyer858]

Mitch should by fired on the spot immediately if he even considers anyone outside of KAT or JO.

ya man,,,Mitch SHOULD be fired by now,,,he's decision making is sickening me on a yearly basis BETTER be right on this draft

 

[mr j 858]

It would be dope if the Lakers could somehow package #27 & #34 to get this PG from Duke:










A lot of mock drafts have him going in the top 15 to 20 range.

BDA Sports represents four players on Wolves - Wiggins LaVine Budinger and Shabazz - could be 5 with Okafor



We know how agents like to get their guys to certain places. This could be good for the Lakers

Supposedly okafor's agent and flip Saunders are old college buddies. With wiggins and oak being close there's good reason to think towns will be there at #2.

Now that we kept the pick I guess the nash trade wasn't so catastrophic after all. The picks given up haven't amounted to anything at all, the upcoming picks will likely be mid to late firsts

 

[noblekane]

Hmm would be sweet if silver rigged the lottery for us next year we will probably finish in the 10-14 range so it be a long shot to keep it but stranger things have happened

It seems to me the agent would want his client in a big market like LA, not on the same team as some other clients
