That would have been the smart thing to do. You want those hitting when Lebron is leOld.
I told everybody Fox would be better than Ball and Fultz but I thought Josh Jackson would be the star of that draft.
When he was horrible in summer league last year you knew it was going to be bad smh

Are you seriously underselling Lebron and Davis? Still have Kuzma and ability to sign big name free agent.

They have two top 10, maybe top 5, players in the league. A very good Kuzma. And a TON of cap space and Lebron and Davis to draw players.
Hopefully this will hamstring them post-Lebron, but don’t sell them short for next 2-3 years.

Throwing in JJ to move up 2 spots in a terrible draft? That’s just a terrible move.
I would completely lose it if that were to happen.

You grossly underestimate the value of potential still in JJ
And that would cause me to lose it even more. Jackson and Culver are the same player, only Jackson is bigger, better and more athletic.

I just hate that a terrible franchise has players clamoring to be there just because it’s LA. They should be a dumpster fire but because of location they are constantly bailed out by players.
Well Einstein how are the Suns going to get cap space to make a run at DeAngelo and Randle. Also to match Oubre, you dump JJ and Warren they are not needed, Suns have to many wings.

It sounds like Garland will workout for the Suns
As previously noted, I'm not sure Jackson has that much value. I liked his defense when he was paired with Oubre so he might be worth another look.

Woj is just Woj’ing.
I don't see how the Lakers are the favorites for the title next year. Both Lebron and Davis missed the playoffs on their own this last season but those 2 joining forces and losing a number of quality teammates they had is supposed to make them favorites? Ok.
As far as the whole "They have 2 top 10 players now" argument, the Thunder have 2 top 10 talent also with Westbrook and Paul George and they can't get out of the 1st round. Yes, Lebron and Davis are different then George and Westbrook but 2 top players don't guarantee anything. It wouldn't surprise me if this ends up being the Dwight Howard trade 2.0 in a way.

The Lakers still have Kyle Kuzma and a top free agent to be named later.
I think a lot is going to depend on lebron being healthy. Last year was the first year he missed real time and what’s this his 18th year? He’s got a lot of miles on him.

Have to see what else they can get they obviously have 2 great players although Lebron finally showed his age but they have very little else right now.
Kuzma is a chucker who doesn't play defense and apparently has "issues" with some of the Lakers front office so it wouldn't surprise me if he gets traded somewhere else.
They made a big splash and they have 2 great players and Kuzma can put the ball in the basket.

IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
They’re not winning the title or making it out of the west.. With Dubs suddenly a mash unit, my money is on Houston to win WCF.
Kuzma is a good young player but he's a PF and at Lebron's age that is where he should be playing. Davis also prefers to play PF. So their 3 best players all play the same position, or are best at the same position.
Kuzma was there last year also, what did he help them do?
There is no guarantee they land another star and who would they be after anyway? There are stars available but someone will need to be fine with being the 3rd guy behind Davis and Lebron. They'll get paid well but their fit is questionable also, depending on who it is.
I wouldn't be so quick to crown the Lakers. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if the Pelicans end up better than the Lakers next year.

I'm certainly not crowning the Lakers, only saying they will be very good if everyone stays healthy.

Something else to consider, Anthony Davis isn’t exactly the model of health. He has averaged 66 games played in his first 7 seasons and has only played more than 68 twice (75 both times).
