If the lakers get a top 3 pick they keep it I believe. Other than that philly will get it

Wow. Lakers need to start that tank process ASAP what are they thinking.
If Philly ends up with Fultz + Monk/Josh

They're in interesting position, obviously the youth and lack of talent on the roster makes them one of the 5 worst teams in the league clearly, but the West is so bad after the top 7 teams that they're still in the playoff hunt. They are 3 games out of the 8th spot as well as 3 games ahead of having the 3rd worst record in the league.Wow. Lakers need to start that tank process ASAP what are they thinking.

We also traded absolutely nothing for Stauskas and the right to swap picks with the Kings in any future draft I believe. So if the Kings finally trade Cousins we could end up with the #1 pick next year too

They need to get a wake up call and realize that they should tank in a very good draft class. Cleary Ingram isn't the immediate impact player many thought he'd be so this sets them back a bit. It still sucks because if they tank and end up outside the top 3 that's literally the worst thing that can happen.

People thought Ingram was an immediate impact guy? He weighs 75 pounds.

Ingram 20 pounds away from being 20 pounds away.

Eh, while it would be excellent to keep this pick; last year was more consequential, That's the one we HAD to keep even though it was a weaker draft overall. I don't think many expected Ingram to have an immediate impact given he was 18 when drafted and his frame wasn't NBA ready either. They already have a lot of young talent in D'Lo, Randle, BI, Nance, and Clarkson so really the more likely purpose would using the pick as bait to try and trade for a star to expedite the development of the core they believe are keepers going forward.

Sixers future is automatically brighter because they have 0 bad contracts while the Lakers have Deng/Moz which will only get worse when they have to extend all their young players.
D'Lo and Randle both look like cornerstones but neither off them is as talented as Embiid.
Sixers pick situation in the future is also superior.
LA has the better young core but only for now, with a healthy Simmons and potentially two lottery picks in 2017 loaded draft?
If I was a coach I'd take the Sixers job in a heartbeat.

Probably should've said a lot more offensively polished. The young talent is there, but this could very well end up being like a Nuggets situation. Lots of great role players/young guys, maybe a solid 3rd option, but no star/franchise player.

I don't think they have a lack of talent, just inexperience
Bayless and Simmons getting hurt really sucks
They have at least 6 legit talented pieces
Joel, oak, Noel, saric, Simmons, bayless
They have the young Frenchman, the enigmatic illysova and then there's Covington and McConnell
That's actually not a bad start talent wise

McConnell shouldnt be in the same sentence as Covington. McConnell is actually somewhat productive despite being very limited athletically
Covington just sucks & Rodriguez aint bad either. Hes just hurt. Hell we got like 4 guys that could make somewhat of a difference that are hurt

Has there been rumors of any teams that would even want Okafor?

The lakers aren't in a bad situation either, I'm not throwing shots leemelone, but yes, Randle to me still has all star potential even though we disagree on his athleticism
I have no idea how good Randle and Ingram can be. With everything I said if there's something great on the table for Randle and clarkson package I'd consider it

I'd take him right now for Mosgov...especially since we have no intention of attempting to play defense.

My fault, and I'd still differ on that assessment in terms of talent for the lakers
