real shyt....that was mad disrespectful....but there has to be a story behind this...can't just be "I would rather play in LA"
There is, idk if you were paying close attention to the draft or were on the coli but there was talk about agents telling Philadelphia not to draft their players. Just so happens one of those players they took with the 3rd overall pick. And this was long before the Russell #2 rumors started, I don't even think he worked out for Philly. Then the Russell stuff started up and you started reading about how concerned Okafor is about going to Philly to just end up another trade piece.
LA plays a factor too, Jahlil wanted LA over all else. He and his daddy can say whatever they want, they both were ready to commit that when he still on the boards after pick 2.
I don't think he really cared about going to LA that hard I think he wanted to go to NYK...He just didn't want to be a twolve or 76ers.
He wanted to go to LA hence why he referred to LA as "we" in post workout meetings. Towns is the Knick fan.
