The Official 2015 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[AAKing23]

Woj was on Fox Sports saying Lakers still leaning Okafor.

 

[Dwight Howard]

I'm not a sixers fan but I'd disagree.

if anything its even

Lakers got G of the future in Clarkson, 1 probable 16/8 Randle, plus this year's pick which could be a 20/10 Okafor or 20/5/7 Russell...

not bad

Sixers got Joel Embiid (all-star potential but a bad foot?), Nerlens Noel (poor man's Tyson) and whoever they draft this year. Im not factoring saric cause he probably not coming over until after his rookie scale

both teams will have alot of cap space, but LA probably has the advantage as far as location

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Clarkson and Randle have all star talent, don't know if they'll peak with the Lakers or elsewhere

How long has it been since, because LA appears to be further along in their rebuild than Philadelphia and they've been at it longer. That's what I'm getting at, you all want to zero in on a misstep and post smilies instead of taking it for full context.

It's cool though, I'll gladly take whatever L for that one year. Not even tripping.



How many games has Embiid played again?

How many games has Embiid played again?

He's played exactly 14 less minutes in the NBA than Randle has played

Noel, #3, all the future 1st, Saric, Embiid, Wroten, Grant, Covington shyt load of cap >>>>>>>> Randle, Clarkson, #2....Especially when one of the 76ers 1st is the lakers.

Breh the 76ers could legit trade for another top 5 pick in this draft alone and still have assets to trade...If they decided to cash in on big name players they could bring in 2 and still sign another.

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Lakers about get fleeced by their own doing. Philly about to ROB these nikkas.

This is not the Lakers FO of the heyday. These dudes are amateurs. A Jerry West/Riley would never pass on Russell.

 

[TenChambers]

This I agree with nobody coming to Philly to spend 50M when you can spend that shyt in LA. Taxes and all.

Nerlens Noel (poor man's Tyson)

Nah, Nerlens was putting up rookie defensive numbers only David Robinson was putting up.

Randle played what 20 minutes of preseason ? And Clarkson put up decent numbers on a terrible team. I like them but you can't just dismiss the sixers prospects and anoint the Laker's like that.

Wroten, Saric, Cannan, Pierre Jackson, Embiid, Noel, 3rd pick this year and like 85% of the 2nd round picks for the next few year> Randle, Clarkson and the 2nd overall pick

 

[Leasy]

We getting our PG breh

 

[drifter]

Weren't you just making trade scenarios sending Clarkson to Cleveland? Sit the fukk down.

Noel, #3, all the future 1st, Saric, Embiid, Wroten, Grant, Covington shyt load of cap >>>>>>>> Randle, Clarkson, #2....Especially when one of the 76ers 1st is the lakers.

The only thing worth mentioning is Noel and possibly that 1st. Clarkson right now has more value than Wroten, Grant, and Covington combined. Saric is a complete unknown and Embiid isn't meant long in the NBA imo. Too many factors working against him.

So Noel, LA's 1st (top 3 protected) and cap. But don't the Lakers have cap too, if not then why are they on the list of every free agent this summer? And they stand to have even more next summer with Kobe gone. So as of right now, Noel, 3 and LA's protected first vs Clarkson, Okafor/Russell.

Is it that much better?

He's played exactly 14 less minutes in the NBA than Randle has played

But Embiid is still a valuable asset and building block? I fail to see why Randle can't be the same for LA.

I think they're both building blocks and they're both valuable assets. But I'd take Embiid & Noel over Randle & Clarkson every day of the week

Portis and Payne are simps

None of that shyt matters.. Lakers will have one of LMA/Butler/Love/Gasol this year in addition to Randle/Clarkson/#2, plus another max player next year with Kobe's money. That alone puts them way above Philly.

And that's fine, I would too if Embiid wasn't like he is. But he isn't and I'm not understanding lambasting people for thinking differently when Embiid's body hasn't shown it'll hold up.

Until it does/if ever I'm taking LA's future. At least you know Julius' leg break was a freak accident, like George's or Noel's acl tear. There's a lot more to Embiid.
