Hmmm, I could get down with this.pmatic
What if we are reading this wrong? We assume LMA to us, but what if that isn’t it at all? What if we are the ones that are helping LMA go to the Spurs, by taking Danny Green, and Splitter?We take the defensive Center to protect Randle, and the wing 3&D in Green, adding more depth to the roster, over star power. LMA “could” play the 5 next to Randle just fine, but he’s always hated that in Portland. Now he’s going to take less money to play in LA, and play Center full time???? Maybe Mitch knows he can’t get him, but he can help pick parts off the Spurs to help them get him, while building our team up moreso for the future, when the Spurs lose out on Duncan, Manu, Parker, Diaw in a year or so.
Feasible, is it not?

So you wanted Okafor, when Okafor was the pick.. Then you wanted D'Angelo Russell, when news came out it would be Russell.. Then wanted to trade the pick for Boogie..
Life comes fast
Especially when all you did was prove my stance, and back up what I said. I think it's a mistake to take him over the elite scoring big with Free Agency as the reason.

i did say okafor was the better player cause of his offensive game.

LMA yes, Love no. Dwight and Boogie in the west that's it. Rest of the conference are putting stiffs or stretch 4s playing 5.

That's my point. Even if they can swing Love or Aldridge, you guys are expecting them to play center?

Tobias Harris To Pursue Near Max Deal With Pistons, Celtics Among Leading Suitors
JUN 26, 2015 12:29 PM
As Orlando restricted free agent Tobias Harris will pursue a maximum-level offer sheet on July 1 that the Magic possibly won’t match, the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics have emerged as leading candidates for the talented forward, league sources told RealGM.
Harris, 22, is among the top young players on the available market, and could be the most vulnerable restricted free agent to leave his team. Around the NBA, several teams are believed to be open to preparing a near-max contract for Harris — which could approach $15 million-plus per season, an area the Magic likely elect not to match given the course of extension talks last October and their current team salary structure.
For the Pistons, there is a vision of using Harris as a potential hybrid stretch-wing, capable of playing the small and power forward positions. Several scouts told RealGM that Harris’ slashing and outside shooting will jibe instantly with Stan Van Gundy’s system.
In Orlando, Harris has maintained dialogue with Scott Skiles, his former coach, throughout the year, exchanging encouraging messages. Nevertheless, Orlando's desire to match a maximum-level offer sheet on Harris has been in question.
The two sides couldn’t reach an extension last offseason, Orlando sticking to offers below the $10-to-$11 million that Harris desired — and now promises to surpass. The Magic selected Mario Hezonja, 6-foot-8, with the No. 5 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft. Harris dealt with an ankle injury over a stretch of the season, giving the Magic reason to use him in a lesser role.
The Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks have also been long known as interested teams for Harris.
Out of Tennessee in 2011, Harris went to the Milwaukee Bucks with the 19th overall pick in the NBA Draft. He spent two years with the Bucks before being dealt to Orlando in 2013. Over four NBA seasons, Harris has established himself as a tremendous citizen in the community, with a strong work ethic on the court shown in year-to-year leaps.
At 6-foot-8, Harris averaged 17.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 34.8 minutes in 68 games last season. He has made shooting improvements each season, a sign of growth every summer, and shot 36.4 percent from three-point range in 2014-15. Harris has career averages of 12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds.

Or nah?
Byron bringing home that #1 pick.
Although I'd much rather prefer #4 and drafting D'Angelo.
Nso whats our lineup looks like next season???
just curious??
Clarkson
Russell
Kobe
Julius
LMA
Kind of bittersweet, tho. Really wanted Russell in the purple and gold.
These go back to April.
I supported Oakafor when it felt like that FO would go big. I never wanted Oak. I wanted Russ from the very beginning.
Nice try, tho. Now, go back to playing with excel spreadsheets.

So you wanted the guy at # 4. But not at # 2. You wanted Okafor.
Which is exactly what I wanted....
Just stop Wolf, your bark isn't big enough.
If saying I'd be elated if it was Russell at # 3, but pissed at the reasoning for him at #2 is not the same as you saying give me Okafor at # 2, but if Russell is there at # 4 you want him, you are missing a lot in terms of congruence.
