I was looking at the all time scorers list. Wondering how much more he’ll climb before he retires.
He’s listed at #15 with 26446 total career points. Elvin Hayes stands at #10 (27313).
895 total points in 58 games played this season.
Could he crack top 10 in a couple seasons?

Moot point because those picks ultimately served their purpose in acquiring Anthony Davis, which is HUGE considering New Orleans traded him within the conference and he’ll still be in his prime when New Orleans actually wants to make the playoffs. They took the Lakers picks anyway, busts or not. Mission accomplished if you’re the Lakers.
LeBron was 34 when he signed. He’s not waiting on a bunch of young guys to develop.

During one of the games this week, they mentioned if he can average around 13 PPG next season he can crack top 10.

Yep the entire point of tanking those four years was to draft a superstar or trade for one.
Apologies to Boogie Cousins, Paul George, Jimmy Butler and anyone else that was rumored for those picks/prospects.

gotta assume they did an early game in case they have to play tomorrow? Help these guys out a littleWhy is today's game at 2:30 EST and not like 8:00 EST.
At the time, I hated the Randle pick, loved the D'Lo/Ingram picks and was 50/50 on the Ball pick.
Randle was pretty good value. D'Lo was fine, Ingram was great and well Lonzo.

D Lo, BI and Randle were all solid picks so can’t say they missed on them...What you can fault the Lakers for is terrible development and chaos in the organization once they got there, they all had to dip to flourish but LA saw the original potential
Lonzo you can call a bad pick but I understood it at the time, so many outside factors contributed to that decision

127-187 record. No DOUBT if he was black, his coaching path would be very different.

I don’t fault the Lakers for the Lonzo pic at all. Living in LA, the hometown kid bringing the Lakers prominence narrative was too powerful for them to go in another direction.

Except he wasn't THAT kind of guy though. He's a player that enhances others, but never would've been THE guy. And he had just got his *** handed to him in the tourney by a clearly far superior PG prospect.
He was definitely fun to watch at UCLA, surrounded by elite teammates. But as a singular talent, his deficiencies were glaring. Still a lottery talent though.

Yeah, you guys are right. There was really so much going on in the organization throughout that period of time but at the end of the day, getting AD cancels all that out. It’s a very unique situation because I don’t see the situation working out the way it did for many other teams. In the midst of that they gave bags to Deng to Mozgov too

Just shows you how bad they were itchin to dump D Lo, they were done with him the season before
...But that Russell/Lakers relationship had to end for everybody’s benefit

All I'm saying is, the role of the elite PG had clearly changed once we hit 2010 or so and Lonzo didn't have the skillset that fit that. Using the #2 pick on that didn't make any sense.

That pick wasn’t just based on game play that’s why...Lonzo hit the marketing/position combo for them at the time
Same reason why the Suns took Ayton
