I love this poster.

There is no denying his truth.

How many teams can rebuild this fast and if Kobe is healthy it is over for the league.
:cheers:

[FireDavidKahn]

We'll see. I hope, and am confident, that we will take Towns. This presents a problem for the Lakers as Randle and Okafor are such a terrible fir together that they might as well trade Randle for another young piece right now.

They are both very bad defenders and would get slaughtered inside. Take it from a man who had to endure Al Jefferson and Love play together...it just wont work.

[HelterSkelter]

Circle j3rking on the draft lottery? I didn't know you guys thought of Towns and Okafor this way.

[TheReal Kendall]

Y'all better pray Kobe make it through the season.

I predict him to be out before all-star break.

[34-24 Footwork]

Jordan Clarkson though.....

To me, Clarkson is gonna be the piece next year, no matter who we draft. Dude is a Filipino Westbrook with better handles. He needs that rage though.

I hope Randle been hitting them weights, too. Nigguh ain't have nothing better to do for a while. His practice sessions looking good.

Kobe and Rose are the two of the only players in the last few years that people actually WISH injury on them. Shit's pathetic bro.

Your life is worth less than a mexican food stamp, f@ggot.

Lakers select Porzingis, the next Bargnani :oldlol:

I don't wish the next Bargnani on any other franchise.

[imdaman99]

If Bargnani had panned out (reached his ceiling), what kinda player would he be? I never saw him at his best here obviously.

LOL. No one wishes that. Rose just gets clowned for being injured (which happens to injury-prone players) a lot but that's it... The minds of delusional Laker fans created that. You people, and I mean the "delusionals" and not the objective ones, for some reason think everyone is against the Lakers. It's mind-boggling. Fck the CP3 trade. Lakers got a ring off of some home cooking.

[Fire Colangelo]

Who was the last draft pick that Lakers selected that turned out to be really good?

Bynum? Eddie Jones?

Not a knock on the Lakers at all since I can barely remember the last time they were in the lottery before last year. :oldlol:

[Spurs m8]

I hate Kobe but would never wish injury on him.
Its funnier watching him chuck his way to losses.

[FPJ]

Hope not.

I don't wish the next Bargnani on any other franchise.

To be fair, i think Bargs is his ceiling.

They will probably get Towns, i read somewhere Minnesota really likes Okafor, which is good for them in my opinion, a front court of Randle and Okafor means no real defense.

[Fire Colangelo]

If Bargnani had panned out (reached his ceiling), what kinda player would he be? I never saw him at his best here obviously.

Never had much of a ceiling to begin with IMO... wasn't athletic, wasn't a great shooter, can't rebound, no defensive instincts, etc.

I wasn't around back in 06 when he was drafted so I don't know what others thought about him, but I really really really really really saw nothing in him that warranted a #1 pick.

I guess deep down I hoped he would improve become Dirk-lite after the 2011 season but injuries kicked in and he became an even shittier shooter than he was before with worse rebounding and defense...

[34-24 Footwork]

I hate Kobe but would never wish injury on him.
Its funnier watching him chuck his way to losses.

He chucked his way to five rings without having to take a paycut like the guys on the Spurs. Stay mad:lol

[francesco totti]

If they want quick rebuild, they need to trade this pick.
Get an established players already, superstar.

But if they want to go rebuild road, they basically wasting kobe few years.He is already done, and only getting worse.

Kobe should retire to free up some cap space... :rockon:

Having a 37 year old player making 24 million is never a good thing.

The Lakers still gonna be trash.

If Kobe wins another ring at his age, I'll applaude him.

Love how ni99as are so concerned with Laker draft history all of a sudden. :lol

Son , they shook. Cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
Scared to death and scared to look
They shook

[Fire Colangelo]

And when was the last time the Lakers ever drafted someone worth mentioning? Eddie Jones?

When was the last time Lakers had a top 10 pick?

Randle looked pretty good to start the season before the injury btw.

[Genaro]

Bynum? Eddie Jones?

Not a knock on the Lakers at all since I can barely remember the last time they were in the lottery before last year. :oldlol:
Bynum was a great pick if you ask me. All star starter at 10th pick you don't see everyday.
Yes he later became IP but he also was a part of 2 titles and had 1 great year while he was in LA.

And answering your question the Lakers only was at the lottery 3 times in the last 30 years.

[Bigsmoke]

When was the last time Lakers had a top 10 pick?

We've seen teams that drafted quality players without a top 10 picks

The Bulls got Butler after winning 62 games the prior year.


But anyways. *** those phoney ass *** n*gga and Kobe b*tch ass too

Yea it's hard when you are 25-30 all of the time as well as probably trading down and straight trading picks.

However, they did snag Marc Gasol.

But they need a cornerstone player tho and not just additional role players.

[ImKobe]

funny seeing people shook, now they looking at draft history and trying to downplay the pick. All they needed was to keep the pick really, being 2nd is a huge bonus. The scouting has been decent the last 10 years or so, team will land an impact player and possibly a star, plus Lakers have the 27th pick as well to draft another impact player.

Lakers rebuilded in two seasons. Clarkson and Randle last year, Towns/Okafor + another 1st this year + cap space and we got Kobe here to mentor these guys and if he's healthy, Lakers gonna be back sooner than expected.

http://nwps.ws/pub/forum-gifs/mj-laughing.gif

Laker fans care about the future, but the positive thing is that thanks to keeping the pick and moving up, the team can have a complete turnaround in a very short time.

Kobe has been a superstar since 2001 and until Lakers find that next franchise player, it's about sending Kobe off to retirement with a winning season after all the bullshit.

Kobe stans are happy because this means he'll stick around for longer than just one more year with the young core the team has + whatever Lakers get in FA this summer.

The League ain't even ready for what's coming next year. Talented young legs lead by Lordbe.

if he's the leader, as in option #1, I doubt it's going to be much to applaud over. reality of the whole situation...Kobe is impatient, so the moment any one of the youth players get away from his direction, it starts to dwindle. Kobe will force his shots to get his way, as we've seen, and result in injury as he's just at that stage now. the more the effort, the more his body breaksdown - can't beat father time.

if he seriously wants to help the Lakers, take a backseat and educate the youth players while on the floor during these last few years. he's not winning a title in LA with this squad, or any another star they try and snatch in summer FA. go out leaving LAL on a high note in instilling what it takes to win and setting up the franchise from future success rather than trying to go out on top, when it's basically impossible. he's had many years at the top, and it would be nice to finish that way but the odds, and basketball Gods, are against him now

Okafor got humiliated in the Championship game by Frank Kaminsky. But he is going to save the Lakers?

The Lakers will not have a single player next year that would get major minutes for Golden State.

And they won't have their lotto pick next year.

In the history of the Lakers they have had 4 lotto picks. Half of those came in the last two years.
