    I always said this team will only be winning by using the 40m cap from John Wall to bring one veteran point guard + 2-3 rotation veterans .

    But I meant inadvertently because I really think the team and the players did not believe to be so bad like they are right now.

    I agree! This team is like when you decapitate a chicken & the body runs around with no mind or direction! So frustrating & I have been a fan of the Roxs since 1981. Thank goodness for the Astros!! The Texans & Rockets are just maddening. lol

    Year 3 of the tank is frustrating, but a core of 3 top 5 picks is in sight :cool:

    The Lakers haven’t had the number one pick since 1982 (Worthy). I thought that was interesting. Won plenty of rings without it. They had 3 number 2 picks in the last 6 years. Thought that was interesting.

    Wanted the team to improve the record this year, but with Brooklyn being terrible and possibly doubling our odds I might hop aboard this year. We'll see what happens

    I'm telling you guys, Henderson would be some consolation prize after Wemby! Pg with total package.

    Absolutely

    The guy lives, breathes, sleeps and eats basketball too. Lots of things to love about him.

    No reason to expect any coaching changes that might move the needle on the wins. They're all dialed in. No matter the cost.

    They got good reason.

    Charlotte loses 7 games in a row

    The good thing about them is they're not saying Lamelo is out for the season with a bruised earlobe or something. Hopefully they'll win a few games with him back .... hopefully.

    Thanks for posting.

    Thompson is a guy I am going to start following.

    He seems really really good.

    What's even more interesting (rigged) about that Worthy pick is they had a young Magic and like 3 time MVP (at least) in Jabbar and were just a couple yrs removed from winning the ship

    The Lakers also cashed in those other high picks for AD and got a bubble ring for it, Lakers are well taken care of by the league since the West days even though he only won 1 they went to like 9/10 Finals in that era, same number of the Magic led era

    Yeah because they just sign the #1 pick in free agency after he turns into a superstar like Shaq, Dwight, LeBron, AD etc.

    And also Kwame Brown. Don't forget Kwame.

    Iam full on rooting against Nets. Hoping they get Kyrie back soon to snuff out their defensive resurgence. We need one of the top 2 picks.
