Theo to LA

will we?

I think it was quite clear that he was the only healthy, serviceable big man during our playoff run.

Put it this way, instead of paying this guy 1 mil a year to start and play 20 minutes a game, we are paying Diop 5 mil to sit at the end of the bench.

We will miss him, the man can play some defense!

Yep thats the biggest reason the Lakers went after him, we really don't have a scrappy defensive big man....add this to Steve Blake and Matt Barnes and the Lakers bench just got pretty nasty.....

I was actually referring more to Bynum (8 rebounds, 1.5 blocks per game) then Gasol (although both could play better defensively) ......Pau averaged 11 boards and almost 2 blocks per game.....although I'm hopeful Drew will continue to progress into a dominant presence in the paint....

    • a 4th for him is well worth the risk.  It is also a low enough pick that it shouldn't really shake the locker room.  A 4th rounder that will sit this year and maybe take Pickett's spot next year or best case midseason where we can flip Kenny to a QB needy team midseason.  It's also a nice insurance policy for Young.  Especially with him sitting a year and learning the system.  Seems like a low risk move.  You can still draft one next year if needed and let them compete.  
    • He was draft eligible last year and chose to go back to transfer and play another year of college ball despite it being a weak QB draft and next year's considered to likely he far better and now people think teams are going to part with a higher pick than he would've gotten drafted with in April after it's come out that he's basically a degenerate gambling addict? What am I missing here? I'll be surprised if any team offers up more than a 5th and it won't surprise me if no one even offers that.
    • If You’re a team with multiple 1st round picks it would be a decent setup for a gamble - if I understand the rules.  You are bidding 2027 currency and get to use the player in 2026.     You get the season to look at him and if you are unhappy then you still have another 1st round pick for after the season. Two in the case of the Jets.   So if you mess it up there is a fast way to recover from it.
