rooster69ph Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 IMHO the Lakers may not be truly convinced on what they've seen in Okafor or they are merely trying to accumulate "more" assets with the #2 pick by "trading down" . Instead of getting a big man in Okafor (assuming that the report that Towns is a lock at number 1) they end up getting the big man that they need plus the 6th pick which could turn out to be Mudiay who apparently is falling according to some mock draft. As a GM its his job to try if he can sell the idea. Kung magkatotoo hindi masama pero it will be a long shot sa tingin ko. Quote Link to comment

rooster69ph Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Or maybe they want to win now with Kobe that's why there are tons of rumors about Lakers chasing Cousins rather than waiting for the potential Towns or Okafor to blossom which will maybe be 2 or 3 yrs from now. But for me I'll just bet on the future of either Towns or Okafor. Rather than try to win now on a VERY competitive western conference that will be strong again next season. Personally, I doubt if it would be the "win now" mentality that will trigger this transaction. MAdami pang pieces missing for the Lakers to be competing for a championship next year. As you said malakas ang West kaya I doubt if getting Cousins can alter yun chances of winning a championship. IMHO its been said that mahina si Okafor sa defense. Yan din ang problema ni Randle actually but both players are good offensively though. With Cousins, I think the Lakers believe he can be a better defensive anchor if paired with Randle in the front court without sacrificing the offense tapos may isang quality player pa na makukuha from the 6th pick who can play/fill-in their depth at the guard or small forward position.

darksoulriver Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 wla na yatng balak kuhain si Rondo kaya nagpick ng PG... might as well make a bid for Lamarcus... Quote Link to comment
angulardev Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 surprising 2nd pick, haha, well if russell is the best player in the 2015 batch, might as well go for it and just sign free agent big man D'Angelo Russell , Jordan Clarkson, Kobe Bryant , Julius Randle, Marc Gasol / LaMarcus Aldridge Quote Link to comment

azraelmd Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 D'Angelo Russell, clarkson, bryant, randle and Demarcus cousins....However...im not that sold with russel...would have wanted okafor for the lakers.... clarkson, bryant, young, aldridge/monroe/love and okafor...better than russel, bryant, clarkson, aldridge/love/monroe/randle and jordan hill... Unless of course if theyd try to get demarcus cousins.... Quote Link to comment
smyts Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 mas kailangan ng big men ng lakers, buong franchise nila ng championship laging meron solid big men. Quote Link to comment
angulardev Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 yeah kailangan ng dominating big man para magchampion, pero yung nba game ngayon kinokontrol na ng mga guards, like warriors, nagchampion sila using guards /forwards Quote Link to comment

Once lang nanalo ang golden state? Doesnt mean shifting to guards na... Remember basketball is still a big mans game...until the GSW wins another championship using small ball lineup..the lakers should go for bigs...russel will be a jason kidd with range....the most he will be a russel westbrook with a higher statline in assists...if the lakers are lucky hed develop into the MVP steve nash....okafor however would be a duncan/blake griifin...if the lakers are lucky hed develop into an olajuwon...then coupled with aldridge/love/monroe...wed be looking at another lakers dynasty.... Unless theyd get demarcus cousins..... Quote Link to comment

Unless theyd get demarcus cousins..... malabo na si aldridge , kay cousins naman issue nila dun kasi ugali niya, matigas din kasi ulo nun kaya willing itrade ng kings, e yun pa naman ayaw ni kobe , parang si dwight. @answer03, hindi dominated ng guards ang NBA kahit saan kailangan ng big men, nanalo ang warriors dahil sa ball movement at team play, meron sila 3 Big men sa team, pero mas pinili ni kerr ang takbuhan kasi si lebron lang ang humahabol pag nag fast break ang warriors nung finals, which is noon pa ganun ang play ng warriors nung andun pa si Davis.

But im hoping si demarcus cousin pa din... They did tried with dwight...baka mas maging amicable with cousins.... Edited June 28, 2015 by azraelmd Quote Link to comment
*kalel* Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Di ko magets bakit they pass up on okafor Quote Link to comment
darksoulriver Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 were you surprised with their pick too? expecting kukunin nila si Okafor ito need nila eh... i think base sa mga updates sa FA... mgiging trade bait lng itong Russel. kpag sablay itong si Kupchak malamang ang next season nya would be his last.
