Is there a reason the best player from that draft wasn't included but samaki walker is 
, infact how the hell does samaki walker have a highlight reel at all.

I like how this kid thinks
We'll eventually end up sending Okafor to Boston for that #3 pick. We cannot afford to end up not trading him and still have all of our centers by the end of this night.

Yahoo, I think.Is the vertical streaming from YouTube too? Or just from Yahoo.So are you guys going to watch the ESPN telecast or The Vertical show during the draft? Woj is going to make ESPN look like they're on tape delay.
I mess with Fran, so I might have to remain loyal.
But Givony is also my dude

I'm just as baffled at the laker GM in this thread as I am that essential wouldn't trade Ingram and Randle for Boogie

Word, silly me taking a risky chance with the mighty blog writer for FoxSports.com in the mid 2000's.True that. But what are you gonna say if my "source" ends up being correct?Through the grapevine.
The World Wide Web is a wonderful place man, you can say anything your heart desires as long as you have a keyboard and Internet connection.
Stand by...
I love it when people underestimate the Lakers. We'll be right back on the championship map before you know it. Been there, done that. 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s....EVERY DECADE for the last 50 years the Lakers are building championship contending teams that either reach the Finals or win it all. FACTS.
Couple days ago your fantasy in here consisted of the Lakers acquiring Harrison Barnes, Hassan Whiteside, Festus Ezeli, Mike Conley, and trading for Paul George.
...
And if that somehow didn't work (why wouldn't it, right?), Plan B was trading Julius Randle to the Celtics for #3 pick, signing Al Horford and Hassan Whiteside. Also signing Harrison Barnes, a starter on a 73 win team...and having him come off the bench for the Lakers.
Yeah...we're through here, chief. Enjoy the rest of the offseason.

Imo Philly would be making a mistake trading Jahlil. Even if its for the #3 pick to get Dunn. They should try to move Noel or Embiid. Jah has proven hes talented, Noel is limited, and no one knows whats Embiid gonna become

Already proven big men that can give you 20 a night >>> unproven 22 yr old rookie..
This isn't a slam dunk by any means..and if I'm trading Oak for number 3 I want some thing else..

All these theoretical argument is useless. Let's just see what happens today at 5:00pm!
I do see the trade happening and I am all for trading Oak for Dunn + Filler. It's not everyday you see a player wanting to play for Philly.

Great player... Just don't like him as a guy you are trading valuable assets for.
I like Russell, Clarkson, Ingram & Randle a whole hell of a lot more than I do Russell, Clarkson & Cousins.

I like Dunn a lot..and I get why he's gunning to play for philly..we're his best chance to get picked at number 3 and not have to worry about playing time..he's basically getting the best of both worlds..But I want more than just the number 3 pick for Oak..If Oak was in this draft Boston wouldn't be thinking about trading the pick..they would be picking him.

ESPN does some decent things during NBA Draft but the chance of having to see Stephen A. Smith, Broussard, or Chad Ford on my TV means give me The Vertical all night.

The way the NBA is currently constructed (and that could change in 5-10 years)
But presently, you cannot win with a player like Okafor unless you have the best elsewhere on the team. Absolutely he's a talented offensive player. Already near the top when it comes to Offensive for a Big Men.
But when you score 20, and give up 25. And teams can P&R you to death, and use speed and tempo to get you out of position and get to the hoop. You need a Draymond Green at the 4, and you need stifling perimeter defense. If you don't, your team ceiling is an 7th/8th seed, getting knocked out annually in the 1st Round

You might be the only one on NT
I have a lot more faith in him than folks here, but I don't blame them. Would take him in the late 20's as a backup pg if you have an established vet already.. Like lac or sas

I'm not as down on Okafor as many are but if you're just pointing at his PPG as the reason Philly should keep him, that's a bit flawed.

Nah Buc Em wants him in Philly too. Picked him in the mock draft
