Folks, Kobe was goin to the Clippers.
Ska, remember my boy Prime? He worked for Nike at the time. He called me the day of, they had Clippers gear being sent to Kobe, C/O LA Clippers overnighted the night before. He was devastated, and so was I.
That day, Kobe changed his mind and signed the extension.
Had he gone to LAC
Cassell
Kobe
Maggette
Brand
Kaman
Solid squad right there.
A different.

I'll go ahead and throw this out there FWIW (knowing it won't be worth crap to some of you
): all this speculation, but in the end, Kobe did stay, and we went to 3 more Finals and won 2 of them in large part because of that. I can't deny that, and I've never tried. Snaq's teams got 1 more in 1 try, we got 2 more in 3 tries. And for that, I'm thankful. Bet.

100%
A lot of people don't know how close he was.
Prime worked in a specialized warehouse that sent items to players/families.
Ricky Williams needs gloves for the game, my dude shipped them to him.
Jeter needs cleats, Prime on the job.
Wife of Tom Brady wants some gear, shipment goes out today.
He was seein stuff we never even saw hit market. It was insane.
I will never, ever, ever forget that phone call. I thought we were screwed.
Last second, someone changed his mind.
That's why the Bynum 2006-07 outrage. He passed up a Finals Clippers team for Smush, Kwame, Luke, baby Bynum. He felt they lied to him.

Healthy Bynum, healthy Ariza, we woulda had 3 in 3 tries.

I've been saying that Ingram would be the best for us.
Kid is the goods.... and fits will ALL our pieces. His defensive potential and shooting stroke is what gives him the edge FOR US.
Ben is nice, would not be mad at all if we had him, but I think he will need the ball a lot and that is what I want D'Lo to do. *shrugs*

It's quite simple, we get number 1, we take Simmons. Get number 2 we take Ingram. Get number 3, trade it for Noel. Or if we get number 1 and Philly really wants Simmons, fleece them for #2 and Nerlens.

I'd love to get Noel man. Would gladly trade the #3 pick for him.
Would be a great athletic defensive anchor for us

What makes y'all think an injury prone big will stay healthy for us? :\

Eh. His injuries have been minor compared to someone like Embiid. Now HES someone I would really be worried about.

I still lean Ingram at #1. Simmons requires some planning, but if he's the guy, I'd immediately trade Nance & 2nd to get into the Late 1st Round.
After # 2 is really meh.
Bender & Ellenson.... Bender isn't Porzingis at least hasn't shown that unknown ceiling that made KP so interesting to some. Ellenson can't play the 5.
Jaylen Brown is a mediocre shooter.. For everytime he looks great on offense, he will look out of sorts as well. Could improve though, does have some length to be a solid defender.
Seems like Kris Dunn at 3, is the BPA. Pretty big as a PG.. Decent length, a lot of defensive skill and potential. But it really creates a clog for us because really nobody can move up in position.

Yikes.
Her KG example is (obviously) terrible... The guy is averaging 14.6 minutes per game
Let's cross our fingers that Jim can get his results by his self-imposed deadline.

Lakers 10-13 versus teams below .500
1-34 versus above .500
That takes some talent.
12 of our last 25 are against teams under .500

If Simmons is the guy I think Randle is the sacrificial lamb.... Maybe even Clarkson the next summer
We would need some big time shooters to put on the floor with him.

But if we're going to RISK on an oft-injured C anyway.... then lets go BIG and ask for Embiid :\

Good thing we really really really really need defense and rebounding which he's excellent at. Plus don't have to deal with the knucklehead potential of a Whiteside and it's at a fraction of the cost.
