Givony: Lakers "in love" with Fultz, after he "murdered" workout

[KGBirdBias]

I think fans just want to say we had the #1 pick and make the pick. It's not like there is a KD, Bron or Shaq in this draft.

If there is no difference in 1-4 then why not trade out and get another premium pick. Aren't we tired of grabbing guards? Don't we have enough guards. We need some wing players who are versatile and big men.

A day after Markelle Fultz talked up his fit next to D’Angelo Russell following his first workout for the Los Angeles Lakers, there are reports that president of basketball operations Magic Johnson wants to make such a pairing a reality. According to Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress, Johnson “‘is in love’ with Fultz” and might attempt to trade for the Boston Celtics No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft in order to select him. Givony reports that Johnson might try to do this with an offer of Julius Randle and the Lakers’ own No. 2 pick. 43 mins ago – via Silverscreenandroll.com

With the 76ers and lakers fighting for the #1...

Danny has to sell it to the highest bidder

Why not draft Fultz. And then let the suitors begin suiting up until we find what suits us.

I find this to be a very disturbing post.

Kyler reporting that the deal will not go any farther until Fultz visits the Sixers and the Celtics can get some of the potential #3 guys in for workouts. "Not just" contingent on physical. We might be up in the air about nothing here.

Doesnt matter. Sounds like Lakers will be knocking on Dannys door if the deal with 76ers falls through

Sounds like they'll be knocking on DA's door to MAKE the '6ers deal fall through.

I could be some thing like.....

Fultz is a football, and DA is Lucy, and Magic is Charley Brown...

But realistically, if the Lakers and Philly start bidding, this could be good. We end up with Jackson/Tatum/Smith jr at worst. If DA can get Randle and extra picks, thats something that DA can package to possibly get Hayward in a trade if he's willing to opt in, or Butler, or bundle a bigger package for something insane.

I hope Danny is just trolling GMs for all the years he has been trying to trade up and they told him to screw. He should be returning the favor to each and every one of them. I hope this is the case.

The only way to be certain of a trade like this, is after you have already picked, or a trade with LA.

Sorry, your visual is probably ickier than the reality of the matter.  Just a precautionary measure. 

[RIPRED]

If teams are willing to trade a bunch of value to get the #1 pick .... that's a sign.  Don't trade it.

I'm convinced that Danny is in love with Dayton/Bemba/Porter who all fit in better with this team's needs.

That all "DEPENDS".....

Lol, TPs for both of you .

Which is exactly what Danny wants.
