Personally, I think Ibaka is on the wrong side of 30 and has plateaued in terms of his talent.


He's 26.



Apparently that's the wrong side of 30

You guys are missing the joke about foreign born players lying about their age.

Okafor has a higher ceiling. He had very nice numbers at 19 years old in the NBA on the 76ers and is still 2 years younger than Dunn.

You put Jahlil Okafor in this draft and he is the better prospect at this point in time and also has less risk seeing as he has played in the NBA already. I don't know how that can be argued.

If he rebounded and played defense better I would agree with you.

You are making this look so much more black and white than it is. Otherwise these trade negotiations wouldn't be happening

Other then maybe the Knicks, any other team and I would laugh this off but the Lakers are so questionable these days and have the stupid self-imposed win now mandate that it is at least possible IMO.

i absolutely think a trade of our #2 pick, or the draft rights to whomever we choose, is possible. 100%. i do not think for a second that d'angelo will be involved though

I understand the mandate with Jim Buss, but mitch kupchak will make sure something that awful won't happen.

Supposedly, not a single player in the top 12 prospects has agreed to a workout for Sacramento.

Yikes.

That's rough. I know Jamal Murray has been asked about it a couple times due to the connection with other UK guys there (and he's mentioned that as the reasoning for being ok with going there) but I hope he doesn't fall to that point.

Vlade "no longer irratated" Divac, needs to give the Lakers a home town discount.

Wag needs to just deal, it will cost Dlo, #2, and randle

We can get Derozan, or a true 1 in FA. Nance Jr will take Randle s spot

I do think that rebounding is an area of improvement for Okafor, but the guy had a 17.1 PER on the sixers last season ...

KAT scored a total of 14 points against the sixers in their two games last season. Looks like Monroe had 18 against him and 11 in the other matchup. Dwight had 14 the one time they played.
In a vacuum I think he plays excellent defense, not sure about his help D.

And on top of that he scored more points than all of those gentlemen in each time they were matched up. Rebounding is certainly lacking though.
