L.A. Lakers

im with you bro. same thoughts exactly. the fact that chances of losing it is higher than retaining is so frustrating as a fan after watching them horribly this season. losing it means we will be seeing the same squad next year and naa napud ta aning "free agent pitch" nato, na way ayo. again, having the pick can give us a better option unta and that would improve our team 2x, that is for sure.

Agree. These wins at the end of the season are overrated anyway. Teams are resting their stars or are just deliberately tanking.

So whos your pick this year bro?

Im still sticking with Fultz if we get the chance.

1.Fultz
2.Jackson
3.Ball

haha nice one Boss .. anyways top 3 picks i hope lakers would consider are 1. Fultz 2. Jackson 3. fox .... i would have put Ball at no.3 position but Ball just got no defense... adding Ball to the line Lakers line-up might not improve there defense which the lakers are currently ranks dead last..

i dont know about fox bro, havent seen him really play i bet he's really good the way people talks about him but lonzo would be hard to pass esp when fultz and jackson are taken. though i would really much prefer fultz of all hehe

Boss fish yes it's nice to see them win, pro the wins they have are not that very convincing expect for some... Some teams let there stars rest while some also playing for draft position . Yes the lakers win but the team that they where playing where not playing to there level also (see spurs, Memphis games etc),..
But again what i'm really worried is the 47% chance, yes it doesn't guaranteed a top 3 pick but having the 57% should have alteast bigger chances of landing top 3. Again i'm going back to my low risk High Reward... Low risk lose some game and maintain the draft position no2. (57%) , it's low risk cause it's just a small games to play and also non bearing games . If they want to grow they should have at-least shown it when the games where still meaningful... Then about sa draft pick yes dli sure nga mka kuha ug star but with the current position the lakers have now draft pick is one of the best weapon they have if they want to improve. They could lucky get a player with all star caliber or trade the pick at-least having a draft pick will widen the lakers option to improve rather than relying to sign a star again......

i understand bro, nga taas gyud ug importance ang chances sa draft, pero ako lang i-argue ang imong point para pud ka makakita sa other side.

1. regarding sa low-risk kay losing non bearing games, how is it low risk when ang impression makuha sa young players is that ok ra diay magpapildi ang team... pwede ra diay sila dili maningkamot.

2. sa imong point nga if they want to grow they should have shown when the games were still meaningful... kung nakahinumdom ka bro, sa first half sa season, luke walton, really wanted to win games, and that's why dili niya padula-on ang mga young players sa closing minutes of the game. it was only after the all star break and trading lou williams nga gipadula na ug taman ang mga young players, para makat-on sila sa ilang kaugalingon unsaon pag daog ug games.

kasabot ko sa ka-importante sa pick, kay equivalent ug duha ka pick ang nakasalalay... pero importante pud dili at the cost of having a culture nga ok ra magpapildi ang mga players. ang mga players dapat always play to win whether meaningful ang games or not.

dili pud tingali ingon ana bro... starting to know what it takes to win...

dili lang ta manglo-od nga nakadaog sila kay mao naman na... kung moingon ta nga maayo unta dili nila makuha ang pick para matudlo-an ug lesson, unsa man pud nga lesson na? nga dapat papildi lang gyud, dili nalang maningkamot? unsaon nalang pagbalik sa playoff ana?

dapat optimistic lang gihapon ta bisag nigamay ilang chances... kay ato man nang paborito nga team.

Bro, being a fan doesnt mean that we have to support the Lakers decisions and moves no matter what.

We also need to call them out if they do something questionable or non-beneficial to the teams current and future situation.

I get it that you like the Lakers winning all those games at the end of the season and ,in return, giving up a better position in this years draft. Sadly, you belong to the minority.

If you do a thorough research, Almost all fans and basketball experts,analysts etc. are saying that it was the wrong thing to do for the Lakers because the rewards they get for winning those games is simply too small for the risk they are taking.(a higher chance of losing this year and the 2019 pick)

One more thing, dont worry bro, the lakers will not be sacrificing a winning culture if we did not win those few games at the season's end. We dont have a winning culture in the first place. hehehehe

Fox is really good. His speed and athelticism is comparable to John Wall. He doesnt have a consistent jumper though. pero grabe ka paspas.

De'Aaron Fox dropped 39 points on Lonzo Ball's head when Kentucky eliminated UCLA sa NCAA tournament. Lonzo had 10 points and 4 turnovers. LOL. so much for Lavar Ball saying that UCLA will win the NCAA tournament.

Im high on De'Aaron Fox too. Consistent jumper nalang kulang. his speed and athleticism is John Wall-esque

it's because as a fan it is so frustrating. you cant blame me or most of the lakers fan that are embracing the tank culture kay, first half of the season we thought we were winning until things went back to our losing ways and partly ato kay sa injury issues sa team but then, they all came back healthy murag wa nay gana mangduwa. they weren't even trying to win, bro trust me they were giving up most of the time, blowing up leads, playing too cool and no effort from this so called future of ours. as a fan watching most of their games, maka wa gana pud and i thought lou was great and doesnt deserve to be stuck on this team forever. now, they traded him for a pick, what does that mean? it was tanking time for sure, i hated it at first but then accepted it. they were losing and losing and came so close to end up the 2nd worst team and 2nd team that has the highest for a top pick, now what did they do? they fckd as up by blowing our chances to retain the pick. they were winning meaningless games, you see boss, it was a real torture as a fan. it was the only reward we have after watching them suck all season long.

i dont think lou hindered our young players growth, it should have been a "challenge" for our so called future. kobe took every challenged he had. kaning mga bata nato ron feeling special.

and by the way, our young guns hated the tanking culture you say? no boss i think hadlok ra sila mapulihan na mas hungry and willing pa nila next season.
