Lakers' management really needs to tell Byron to talk to the media as little as possible. Dude says something dumb on a daily basis these days.

I think he was angry at first but accepted it rather quickly. It took me listening to Zinger speak on Francesa to give him a chance. Kid seemed like a real good genuine dude so I felt bad being angry at Phil.
nick. were you the 1 Knicks fan that was cool with the Zinger pick from the beginning? I can't remember. I know it wasn't JRS though

I didn't blame you though. If I was a Knicks fan, I would have wanted them to take someone who seemed more likely to provide immediate returns, rather than a project. Zinger is doing more, earlier than I expected.

Yeah and I was big on Mudiay which I still am. I'll be honest I never watched a second of film on Zinger and if I did I may have been more accepting of the pick
a lot of these reports people said about him being soft, needing time, project, etc were so wrong. Kid is a baller. Has some dog in him, plays confidently, isn't afraid of anyone, really excited to watch him develop. Getting Grant on top of that made it a great draft and easier to accept not selecting Mudiay. Filled two holes instead of one.

Unless the Lakers thought Porzingis would develop into a center, they probably didn't want to draft another PF with Randle on the roster.

it's awesome having 2 rookies that you can watch grow & develop. hopefully they're in NY for a long time

While I could see that concern I don't think it should have swayed them against drafting him. He's versatile enough to play alongside Randle and not detract. Just bring in a bruiser/rim protector like Hibbert or someone else to cycle in.

the Lakers were in a tough spot once Towns was taken
if they drafted DLo: 2 young PG's, Kobe has to play the 3
Okafor: defense is food with Randle at the 4
KP: drafted their PF of the future last season

Hopefully Russell is the prospect that accentuates both Randle and Clarkson's strengths.
Weirdly enough they have a Warriors-vibe to me, the old Curry-Monta-Lee Warriors anyways.

I know that feeling. Been many draft nights I was ready to choke Clippers management. Most recently when they drafted Aminu over Paul George. I just had a feeling George was going to be special and he actually said he wanted the Clippers to draft him! Our core could have been DJ, Blake, PG, Bledsoe and Eric Gordon. :x Would have been probably the most athletic starting line-up in NBA history. But it all worked out in the end, I guess.
