He's the guy that said Steve Alford was offered 31 million by Indiana, we all know how that turned out (they were never interested).
Schultz's report just pretty much piggy-backs off of Steve Kyler's report from earlier in the week, so it's not like the dude was unearthing a gem..just the lastest to come down the twitter timeline. Steve Kyler: With reports surfacing that the LA Lakers and former UCLA guard Lonzo Ball have finalized the details of a workout and face to face meeting in LA next week, there is a growing sense that unless Lonzo absolutely blows the doors off, he may not be the Lakers’ guy. The Lakers are weeks away from needing to make their final decision, but there are many that believe the Lakers could go after Kansas forward Josh Jackson or Kentucky guard De’Aaron Fox (who made my Mock at 2 this week) with the second overall pick. It’s become so real that Ball’s camp, which started the process saying he’d only meet with the Lakers, have expressed a willingness to meet with the Philadelphia 76ers and possibly the Sacramento Kings depending on how things go with the Lakers. Neither are expected to get a workout out of Ball, but both may get a chance for a face to face meeting.
LaVar @ the dinner Lol Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton said Tuesday that LaVar Ball will not be allowed to attend Lonzo Ball's workout with the team Wednesday. On the Jim Rome Show (h/t USA Today's Andrew Joseph), Walton said Ball's father wouldn't be permitted at the workout but that he was welcome to join them for dinner the night before: "Absolutely. If he wanted to come to the dinner. I think the workout is something that we'll keep the doors closed on, but the dinner, I think he would definitely make the dinner more entertaining. He's definitely welcomed to join us for that one."
Mike TrudellVerified account@LakersReporter 45m45 minutes ago Ball on message from Magic/RP/Luke: “Come in and be a leader … they were very positive. They just wanted to know what kind of person I am.“
Oh to be that girl in the background witnessing this workout and to be a fly on the wall at dinner last night!
http://www.silverscreenandroll.com/...ers-defense-news-stats-draft-express-rankings NBA Draft Rumors: Josh Jackson has ‘strong support’ in the Lakers’ organization because of his defense Despite most expecting the Los Angeles Lakers to ultimately take Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, more and more reports continue to surface that the team may not be as set on the UCLA product as many think. Before the Lakers worked out Ball Wednesday, a report from Chad Ford of ESPN outlined why some among the team’s brass ultimately would rather go with Jackson, with Ford saying he has a 35 percent chance to be selected, compared to the 40 percent chance he gave Ball and 25 percent chance he gave De’Aaron Fox. “Jackson has always been another favorite in the organization,” Ford writes. “While the feeling is that Ball is a good fit with the Lakers offensively, Fox and Jackson are gritty defenders and vocal leaders on the court, something the Lakers feel the team is lacking. Jackson in particular seems to have some strong supporters in the organization who think defense should be the priority.” Laker execs plan to see Kansas SG/SF Josh Jackson work out Thursday in Sacramento, where he's conducted a majority of his workouts.
Josh Jackson is the only 2017 NBA draft pick who could survive in the Finals right now Josh Jackson’s draft value has been proven by the 2017 NBA Finals. http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2017/6/...raft-2017-lakers-76ers-defense-passing-finals
watch a tradewire announce that Lakers traded down a spot or two and acquired an extra top lottery pick for a package of players. and instead of getting lonzo ball they end up with Fox and Jackson joining Ingram Nance and Zubac in the new lineup.
Cavs probably just played the greatest quarter of their collective lives and the Warriors still smoked their ass Lol They are so good. Steph is definitely healthy..Klay has risen
Yeah I was about to say the same LeBron has 23 points in the first half and they're falling behind more by the minute Warriors are just too deep, too talented Steph and Durant are one thing when Klay and Iguodala kick it up there's really no chance wtf happened to Love pitching in? Not tonight. Not in transitions
Klay the silent killer. Can drop 30 in a heartbeat..1 quarter is all he needs. Has 21pts at the half, I wouldnt be too shocked if he went for 50 tonight with the way the Cavs are keying in on KD/Curry
Memo to the Luke, Magic, Pelinka et. al. Not only are the Warriors the greatest collection of shooters ever, but they all contribute defensively. Even Curry was a pest last night.
Lol Curry dropped a hell of a celebration on the Cavs after Durant's 3 Didn't even see that last night..guess I was watching Durant do 360s down the court/mean mugging the whole arena Just goes to show how hard it is to stop a guy from getting a 3pt shot in the NBA..even the most noted of shooters can find that space early in the clock, and the most noted of defensive players ( LeBron) can get caught in no man's land
