So drafting them is the best chance to not only acquire talent but more importantly maintain that talent long term.

      So while the OKC method to team building isn't easy if you can't get a player of the talent level of a Duncan, James, Bryant, Howard, Paul, Anthony, Durant, etc to come to your team let alone 2 or 3 you really stand no chance building any other way.
      If you don't think luck is involved in hitting on Durant, Westbrook, and Harden in 3 consecutive drafts then I don't know what to tell you except I disagree.

        Sources say Orlando also gets Lakers forward Josh McRoberts in the Dwight Howard deal.


        Please Mr. Stern...just contract Orlando now. They are a complete joke of an organization.

          Humble Laker Fans are boring and I actually get offended by them because they put this front on like "Yeah man, I hate how we get whatever player we want, especially HOW we get them" but on the inside they're like, "This is too easy. Chalk up another ship for my boys. "

            Orlando should've dealt with Houston. They could probably have gotten something like Lamb, Ross, Motiejunas, K-Mart's expiring, and picks for Howard and J-Rich or something like that
            Chicago Bulls
            Chicago Bears
            Wisconsin Badgers

              Last I read Houston was willing to accept Turkuglo in the trade.

                So instead of not trading him, you propose that they pay him to pout for the year, then watch as he walks away and they get nothing? I'm really not understanding why people are upset with Orlando; they had absolutely no leverage but got 3 first round picks and lost a headache.

                If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                  Ofcourse luck is always involved in the draft process especially with a lotto system. My point is many people thought both Harden and Westbrook were reaches at the time. Also who knew that Ibaka would be this good? That is the sign of an excellent talent evaluator. So saying their success is largely luck is disrecpectful to the guy who went against the grain and succeeded.

                      What's the status on those picks anyway?

                      Are they protected picks or are they basically 1st rd picks in like 2016/2017?

                        Honestly if I was a Laker Fan, I'd probably be the same LOL.

                        The frustrating part is when they say "C'mon, we're the Lake Show and we get whatever we want" and then us non Laker Fans can't disagree with them because they're right.

                          The more I think about it, the more glad I am that the Lakers got Dwight. Gives them a better shot at taking down the Thunder.

                            He was talking about the Nash trade then not the Dwight one.

                            They are protected picks in 2014, 2015, and 2017.

                              And still get the 4th overall pick in next years draft. Yeah I'm that sports mad!
