There is NOTHING to develop on this Lakers team. They are ALL role players. One day they could contribute to a winning team, but NONE of them are good enough to LEAD a winning team.

takes time and luck. If lakers can land Labissiere or Simmons next season then they have Clarkson and Randle as solid second option guys and that pick as the star. If they lose that pick though then they aren't in good shape in the west going forward. Not every draft has multiple guys who look like stars in it like this years and next years.

So, you're completely giving up on D'Angelo Russell?

Not saying that I disagree, but lmao at the Lakers picking him over Okafor.

[BlakFrankWhite]

They had a chance to draft a perennial 20/10 big man...instead they brought in 'ol cement feet :lol

Eat shit Lakers

[DaSeba5]

The league has gotten smaller and everyone plays faster. Their style of play of run n' gun and no defense has no chance of winning in this league. You can't get fastbreaks when the other team is scoring. Basically they are playing a style that far better teams play. And those teams defend. It's a recipe for disaster.

[90sgoat]

Easily impressionable youngsters getting impressed by chuckers like Clarkson or a bumbling tweener never to be LJ in Randle.

Lakers have one of the most unlikeable, least talented teams in the league. A damn travesty to have Kobe play with these millenial Kardashian dating losers.

Nah he could be decent. To early to give up on anyone but my take so far is he's destined to be a competent starter but not much to get excited about whereas Clarkson and in particular Randle look like good all round players to have but none look like go to stars.

Do we have an elite superstar? No. So in that sense, it's a bit of a downer. And yeah, not having drafted Okafor or Porzingis does hurt.

But I am not giving up on our young guys. Randle, Clarkson, Black and Nance are keepers. They might not be stars but they can impact the game.

Besides, I think you are just a Kobe fan. Once he retires, you will root for whatever team you rooted for before so don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Randle and Clarkson look legit, Nance and Black I can't say cause I haven't been paying too much interest in them two

But I saw a few games of Black when he was at Houston, and I liked what I saw from him

In hingsight yeah Okafor and Porzingis should have been taken, but the Lakers will most likely continue sucking and hopefully they keep their pick and grab Simmons or Labisserie and they ball out

The league just feels better when the Lakers are contenders imo, Celtics also naturally

Black is a keeper. Active, athletic, good/great rebounder, very good roller off the p&r, can finish lobs, rim protection at times. I think he is good enough to be the first big off the bench for a championship team. The guy impacts the game when he gets minutes and always has.

Nance is just a naturally athletic, long guy. Has a high motor. Already showing signs of being a good on the ball defender.

Don't get me wrong, both will never be stars but you always look for great role players that can help you win. I love Black and like what I've seen from Nance so far.

I'm not sure what a Kobe fam is but Curry doesn't need sociopathic fanboys arguing his case. He's a better player than Kobe and his play makes his case for him. I'm not a Curry fan but I LOVE watching him play, as do 90% of basketball fans. I'm glad you've gotten to admire a player who can actually shoot the basketball. Must be such a juxtaposition :cheers:

They'll look like geniuses if they get a top 3 pick but obviously don't deserve it from trading it away.

Russell will "get better". Randle will too. But the posters here saying they aren't #1 options are right. But those 2, clarkson, Larry nance, with 1 first option type that they could get in the top 3 of this draft all on rookie contracts with the most capspace in the league is actually a really good plan.


No matter what you think about tanking if you're the lakers you are going to have a hard time with this season. I can't see how they're not going to be one of the worst 4-6 teams. The franchise will need a lot of luck

You can't overreact just because a poster whom you've never met thinks that JT123 is funnier than you. If you don't agree, that's fine. How could you possibly care enough to let that bother you to the degree that you'd go on a spree derailing the thread and writing frivolous posts? You're a legend on here. Act like one.

I'm not even sure these guys would make good role players.

They're all irregular. Randle seems to have the most talent, but is short and erratic, and I don't have confidence in him to finish plays. Clarkson doesn't have enough talent to be the kind of player he is and make a genuine impact. Russell doesn't seem to make any impact at all.

This isn't like the Thunder in their first couple years. It's not like they're drafting a future all-star every year. Not all teams scout talent all that well. I think if you let these guys grow together for 5 years.... they'd still never make the playoffs.

Those ****ers will not develop if kobe sits out, Kobe has to develop them, be the floor general, let the other guys shoot. Kobe needs to be player/ coach/ mentor to these ****s.
