Hopefully we can trade Asik for some depth.
Asik for Ryan Anderson would be a good move, i hope the rockets wont J smith, even tough he's dwight best freind.

Lin
Harden
Parsons
Anderson
Howard

this is a good starting 5, not championship caliber as of yet but i'm sure morey will keep trying to improve the roster, i'm sure Lin will be traded during the season and Beverly will start.

I don't think the Pelicans will trade Anderson after they got rid of Lopez.

Smith signed with Detroit btw.
 

Suns

How did he force him out of LA? You really think that Kobe wouldn't wnat to play with a quality big man?

If he can't take criticism and tough love, then he is not someone that I would want to pay 120 million dollars to.

These are the Lakers, not the New Orleans Pelicans. If you can't handle that type of pressure, then that's fine.
Kobe is a chucker, can't take a back seat or even share the team with anybody. Also he's selfish and a gigantic ball hog.

J.Smoove to Rockets.. yes/no? Would be insane on the d
He already signed with Detroit.

Yep just read that, the pelicans would do it, will allow Anthony davis to play as PF and Omer as a center, but i think the rockets will hold out for more.

That would be a bad pairing. You'd have two players with no outside game taking up a lot of space under the hoop.

But yeah, we probably want more for Asik.

I watched a 30 for 30 about him, such a big what if. A kid that was a few years below me in highschool, Dante Exum is looking like he will be a top 10 pick. Would be insane. Benji also.

I remember watching him play for Maryland, and he was just from another planet. There was nothing that Len Bias couldn't do. Just a phoenomenal athlete who was so fundementally sound. He had comparisons raging from a 6'9" Jordan, to a Dominique Wilkins with a jump shot, to a black Larry Bird.


I was so jealous when the Celtics drafted him, thanks to Seattle and that ridiculous trade of Gerald Henderson to Seattle for their first round draft pick. That being said, I was so disappointed with what happened to him.

These 2 kids are going to be huge:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wiggins

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabari_Parker

I personally hope the Orlando Magic have another shitty season, miss the playoffs, get the number 1 pick, and take Wiggins :D
I don't think Parker is going to be a one and done player. He really values education.

Wiggins on the other hand, is why I was hoping that the Lakers would just totally tank it this year and get into the lottery, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen

Remember Oj Mayo, he was the most hyped up player in the US when he was in the HS and he turned out to be a mediocre player, never lived up to his potential. Altough i think Wiggins will turn out to be a beast.

I wonder who else the Lakers will pick up, I sort of wish they would take some risks on some younger players with potential, but I guess that isnt the Lakers way.
