Lakers OFF-SEASON IS A WRAP

[pmatic]

I think Randle's wingspan is about average for a 6'9 player. Not poor, but not elite either.

 

[ognikehead85]

Randle has close to or same wingspan as Blake Griffin and Kevin Love who both have 6'11.3

Hmm, maybe I'm mistaken then.
Apologies.

I could of sworn that something that was widely noted about him was his arms and wingspan.

 

[sohi 23]

Honestly I'm exploring all options with the 2 pick. It the Sixers or Knicks offer a huge package to swap picks, I'd have to consider it.

But at the end of the day, the big man is too valuable to pass up. Take Jah or Towns and worry about the rest later. Randle is good enough to adapt with anybody. I feel like people are sleeping on his shot. The only real concern is that D'angelo Russell might be the best player in the draft.

I refer to the 84 draft
1 Hakeem
2 Bowie
3 MJ
4 Perkins
5 Barkley

I don't wanna pass on D'angelo man

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

His relative wingspan is an inch shorter than towns. Short arms, unathletic, no perimeter game...there are a lot of fallacies about JR for whatever reason

[Bravelude]It was probably about his meatspan.[/Bravelude]

Nah you're right, knock on Randle is that he has T-rex arms. I find that BS tho...

It's all about how it's perceived initially. A couple scouts/analysts say he has short arms, and the rest of the media runs with it. It happens every year. Randle recorded a 7'  wingspan at the combine. Ed davis measured 7' wingspan too and scouts were raving about his length as one of his strengths (though he is a 1.5" taller). 

 

[ValarMorghulis]

"D'Angelo Russell's shooting and passing ability would allow him to be a more effective partner in crime to Clarkson than Lin ever was, and the Golden State Warriors have shown just how potent a pair of guards can be when they are on the same page. The Warriors may have the Splash Brothers, but a Clarkson/Russell combo could become a lethal Slash and Splash combination.

Furthermore, in terms of roster-building, adding a combo guard to join Clarkson makes life easier on Mitch Kupchak this summer. While the Lakers need help everywhere on the floor, the addition of another guard who can immediately slide into the starting lineup would allow the team to more easily shift Kobe Bryant to small forward, where his own declining athleticism will be less of an issue."


God I hope this boy goes in his Lakers workout and just murders it. Go get it D'lo!!


Also hope Okafor kills it in Minny

 

[essential1]

D'Angelo would have to have had the greatest workout ever to be picked.

 

[pmatic]

Jalen Rose thinks the Lakers will pick Russell.

So that's Love, Rondo and Russell.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

So would Okafor

 

[teamlakers909]

If Marc Gasol said he would sign with the Lakers right now would you guys take Russell then?

I'ma fade him next time I see him. 

 

[teamlakers909]

If you are Towns, why would you NOT want to tell the Wolves to kick rocks bc you have a chance to join an elite organization in the Lakers.  Am I just being a homer or does it seem like common sense?  I mean I know the Wolves have Wiggins but still, its Minneapolis vs. Los Angelas where you are an instant celebrity if you are decent.

If Marc Gasol said he would sign with the Lakers right now would you guys take Russell then?

Since he can't do that because he's under contract until June 30th and it would kill his value, no.

hypothetically speaking of course.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Jalen covering all bases so he can be right on one.

Let's hope it ain't Rondo.

I would love to get Marc! Pau gotta put in the good word for us, it was nice for a couple years Pau!

 

[CP1708]

Jalen Rose thinks the Lakers will pick Russell.

So that's Love, Rondo and Russell.

Randle, Love, Kobe, Rondo, Russell, Clarkson, Swaggy........defense optional.

[comptonprince]

Did Pau sign a 2 year deal with a po?
