2014-15 Lakers Season Thread (21-61) KAT

[essential1]

Finally Hibbert gets some recognition in here.

I just started looking and said "There's a chance this guy ends up at $12mil a year if he gets into Free Agency."

For what he does on Defense, will protect Randle on Defense (even though I think he can be passable at worst on defense).


My draft board is
1. Jahlil Okafor
T-2. Emmanuel Mudiay & Stanley Johnson. Mudiay will be an explosive PG. Stanley Johnson's defense will make him an instantly productive player.


If you end up at #1, take Okafor, and forget about Hibbert.
But if you get Mudiay perfect. But Stanley Johnson's defense with HIbbert will be .


And we'd still have money for Dragic, and probably be able to keep Ed Davis.

As much as I'd like Towns, there's no way Mitch and Jimmy pass on Okafor.


Towns > Mudiay and Johnson though

You just can't pass on Okafor. It was like Wiggins (although they did eventually ) You had to take him # 1.


Towns may be, but I think the prospect of drafting a high potential PG in a PG heavy league is better than Towns.
And I feel like Johnson is the safer pick, although not as talent today as Towns is.


I'm just imagining Mudiay & Randle together on a fast break. Then have enough to go get Hibbert who would be great with Randle for defense. Then have enough for Dragic as the 2, move Kobe to the 3 (yes I want him at the 3, don't care, don't care). And still have a little bit for a bench (Ed Davis) then when 2016 comes around have a **** ton of space with 4 starters in the fold.

If you want those picks, you better embrace the tank then. There's a handshake and everything.

I was team tank the minute I found out Randle was out for the year. Because I believed he would have added a lot of wins by seasons end that would have made all this pointless.

I've always been for trading Hill and try to move Lin (after he exploded after 2 weeks).


But I'm also a rationalist. So I argue against trading Ed Davis unless you get something far better than him (emerging prospect or a 12-16 pick). And why I argue that Hill won't get traded until closer to February

I have embraced the tank.....

A Utah win today would be more appreciated. Minnesota is going to be bottom 2 bad period. Utah is who we're going to be competing with for a spot

I do like Mudiay and Johnson a lot, but a chance at a Joakim Noah/Marc Gasol-like center in Towns is just too tantalizing to pass up.

The thought of Mudiay and Randle on the break. :x I guess a Dragic and Mudiay bench can imitate Dragic and Bledsoe in a lot of ways.

Maybe they'll be in too deep of a hole, but once Rubio, Pekovic and Martin return the T'Wolves can hopefully start winning.

 

[CP1708]

Thing is, if you're the Wolves, why do you bring Rubio/Pek/Martin back in? You're starin at yet another top 3 type pick to throw in with Wiggins, and still have LaVine, Bazz slow roastin, I'd ice those vets somethin fierce.

So will they.....

Didn't eem know they were all gone. In that case, we prolly could take their spot.

I saw the tweet that said they should take the Josh Smith waived papers and raise them up as a banner.

Yeah, Kobe's got his legs tonight.

 

[licensed to ball]

Kobe with an early 8-4-4 already in the 1st

 

[trickster360cj]

Great start to the game

Afflalo.

The Nugget commentators keep confusing Boozer and Sacre.

Nuggets suck. No defense at all. SGs not making Kobe pay for not even crouching on defense.

 

[kal-el-8]

Goddamnit.

 

[trickster360cj]

Great Half
