Laker draft picks

What if they all stayed

Hello OS community,
I pray everyone that reads my blog are doing well and safe in this crazy time we're having. With that being said I'm a Lakers fan and experienced seeing Magic Lakers vs Bird Celtics battles for the title, Kobe's Lakers run to now LeBron's run at it with the Lakers (OK, I still mumble with saying LeBron's Lakers for some reason). I thought this might be a fun topic of what if all of the recent Lakers draft picks stayed together? Such as D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr, Julius Randle, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Ivica Zubac, Moritz Wagner, Isaac Bonga, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, I'll even throw in Ryan Kelly.=/ That's from 2013 to 2018 of drafted players all gone playing for other teams. That's almost a full roster and if they all were still playing with the Lakers today would be like "the Avengers Marvel universe" change of paths for the other players the Lakers have right? LeBron James, Anthony Davis, etc...For sake of time and writing I would hope this would add some "fun" to everyone's thoughts and feedback. It did for me when I added them all on the 2k20 Lakers roster to see how they played against the other teams.
Try it and be well.

It allowed us to personalize the game with some limitations. But, it also opened the door to those same limitations on 2k's part and a vague understanding as to why. I've been reading posts regarding NBA 2k16 and thinking is it worth purchasing 2k16 and went out on a limb and bought it anyway for $40. After playing it, I basically feel it ... Read More

As the NBA finals ended, I�ve noticed the dominance of Lebron James inside/outside game vs Stephen Curry�s 3-point heavy game. Mind you, The Cavs where shorthanded there all-stars in Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, so the �what if�s� came to mind. Both teams started with their regular centers and adjustments were later made by going small by the Warriors Draymond Green and Cavs Tristan Thompson at the center position. So, what I�m getting at is the Warriors managed to beat every team in this year�s ... Read More
