No, in other words, I have a helluva reason: I don't know who Flavors is. If post on the board who I want the team to select, I usually try to know their name. Flavors...never heard of him. Where's he from? What position does he play?

Completely agree. They might as well trade up and draft Mickey Mouse or Santa Claus. Flavors will provide just as much production.
I just may.And you should change your name to Mr. Giant Poopy Head.
P.S. Nice emoticon, even though the emotion it's attempting to convey confuses me.

No, the Lakers will be the one trading up. There has already been a backdoor deal made that gives Washington Dj Mbenga and Derek Fisher and the Lakers John Wall.

Any word on if the Flopping Fish would ask out of his contract to get back closer to his daughter NY doctor by playing for the Lakers?
I don't think there's really such thing as "this guy is drafted too high" for the Jazz in this draft. They should hone in on the player they want and get him anyway they can.

Yes, that has all been arranged. Also, LeBron will be signed and traded for a combination of Luke Walton, Jordan Farmar, Sasha, and some retired player nobody else has ever heard of who signs to a one year deal worth 10 million dollars. It will be brilliant, watching my Lakers fail in the Finals just doesn't sit well with me and the refs.

Ford says Sacto may be trading down, working out Babbitt and Hayward (free):

Monroe's standing reach is 9'0"5 and he has a max vert reach of 11'5.5".
Babbitt's SR is 8'8.5", four inches shorter. But his max vert reach's 11'10", 4.5 inches greater.
That's a swing of 8.5 inches.
I know it's comparing apples to oranges but I just wanted to provide more info on how ****** Monroe's athleticism is. Yes, Cousins and Aldrich have even worse vert but they at least play like men down low.
Stay NO to Mon-ROE!

Offering up Lawson for a top 10 pick huh. I might consider that on draft day.
If they're looking at Babbit and Hayward they must be moving down a few spots--could be us, Clippers or Detroit.

Trading a top ten pick for a backup? I'm not sold on that. I also wouldn't want Lawson and Williams on the court together for long stretches.

Exactly why this trade would be retarded for the Jazz. Also, it doesn't give the Lakers any superstars so I wouldn't approve it.
I think I like Lawson much more than most people. His shooting percentages (51.5%, 41% on threes) are great for a point guard, he's young, he's actually a pretty good distributor, etc etc.
I'm also not enamored with most of the players outside of the top five or six. If our options come down to drafting Babbitt or trading for Lawson, I'd have to think about it. If our options were trading for Lawson or completely wasting a pick on Whiteside or Patrick Patterson I'd take the value where I see it.
