The lakers just gave the Hawks their first L of the season.

They're better than expectations too. it sounds crazy, but I wouldn't at all be surprised to see them challenge for the 8th seed this year. Their defense is horrible, but they have a lot of offensive firepower on that roster, and Walton has looked like a pretty good coach so far.

Their bad defense will be there every game.  There offense will be hit and miss.  I'd be surprised if they challenged for the 8th seed.  I'd put them around 34 wins.

That works for me. I prefer if they don't get another top pick.
Better if they stuck being mediocre for long term.

Their pick goes to philly unless it is top 3. If the Lakers are better than expected and end up with 34-37 wins the trade ends up being Michael Carter Williams for the 12th or 13th pick in the draft 4 years later. This would definitely give it the title of most talked about but ultimately irrelevant trade.

they've got enough young talent with lots of potential to the point that they wont stay mediocre for a long time. I could see them being contenders in the west in maybe 3 years. Am i crazy?

I agree they have nice talented young group, but i don't see them contending in 3 years.
(maybe with some really lucky one sided trades)

Adams is going to be a problem for the new Warriors.

I would absolutely love for OKC to go in there and beat Golden State. It would almost make up for the loss in Cleveland.

Let's go thunder! Lol

[jpotter33]

Haha Kerr...

Adams making Pachulia his little Zeller 😂

[jpotter33]

Looking clearer and clearer that Golden State will have to upgrade Pachulia if they're really going to contend.

I'd love to see the Lakers finish around 9th or 10th in the West—no playoffs, no high draft pick.

Curry doesn't look like a top three player this year.

This is supposed to be a good draft so a late lottery pick should still give them a good player.  Myles Turner was 11th and Devin Booker was 13th in a strong draft.  Of course, they'll also have their own top 5 pick.
