    Well I mean obviously they gotta re sign them eventually and hope to avoid injuries, but no reason not to expect that combo to be a great front court for a long time.

    Also since the Knicks have already talked about wanting Towns and Towns himself even said he'd want to go to NY, I wonder if the Knicks would get desperate and give up a lot to trade up to the 1 or 2 spot. If so would the Lakers or Twolves even listen? Could be interesting..

    lol probably wanna see Randle play more then one NBA game. He was picked below Aaron Gordon last year for a reason.

    Again for a guy who claims to not pay a lot of attention to the College game you seem very optimistic.

    f---ing lakers getting the second pick. That was a best case scenario for them. I'm happy with the 3rd pick. I'm sure they will pick Russell

    Whatever man, you're the only one saying this lol. Randle's got a great attitude and I'm confident in what he can do, looked great in the pre season too. He spent this year off learning and studying, that will benefit him long term.

    No idea why I wouldn't be optimistic right now..

    lol ok bro if you prefer to count your chickens before they hatch, i'll let you do your thing.

    I agree with you about Okafo/Towns, just think you need to slow your roll on Randle his attitude and pre-season success dont mean much lol.

    You're right I should have just said 'Lakers got number 2 pick, cool. I'll wait 10 years and give you a reaction then after I see how his career went.' Cuz ya know, that's how people react to these things....

    Obviously it's not a guarantee, but no reason why I shouldn't be excited...f--- outta here with this negative s---. Lakers s----d for a few years now, I'm happy they at least have hope now.

    A Randle/Townes or Randle/Okafor frontline would be scary. Hopefully Kobe doesn't ruin their career.

    ESPN is so cruel for having Mark Jackson call these Warriors game. I wouldn't be able to do it.

    From what most are saying, there's about 7 really good prospects, so yeah they should be fine. 3rd spot could end up being one of the safer spots actually since 1 and 2 will likely be big guys and big guys who are picked high are more likely to be busts, based off recent history. Although most seem to be pretty sure about Okafor and Towns.

    They should go after Russell or Winslow. Mudiay is another PG who cant s---t but has size, hes kind of a wild card.

    Well d--- this game's a surprise so far. I still think the Warriors will get hot though and get the win.

    Wow that lineup change by Steve Kerr really confused the Rockets. Rockets aren't going to win this game playing defense like that.
