Why though? Okafor seems more solid than Towns.


We need defense, not two interior post players in Randle AND jahlil. Plus, neither of them are good on defense and I'm pretty sick of everyone in the league punishing us in the paint.

I'll still be happy if we end up with jahlil though. We shouldn't even have 2nd.

I want Towns, more upside, more potential.

however Okafor can develop as well. He has the size.

Maybe even an Athletic Center kinda like De andre Jordan (heres to hoping)

I want Towns over Jahlil for sure, but will be happy regardless of who we get lol

Okafor/Randle would be a subpar defensive duo and clash inside the paint on offense as well.

Despite a potential Lakers offer for 4 years $80 million, Jimmy Butler says he wants to stay in Chicago.

Kobe denies reports that next season will be his last, says thoughts "are the same as the last time the media asked


I read an article where the GM confirmed a convo where basically kobe told him this next season will be his last with the lakers. Didn't really specify retirement or elsewhere but I can't see him going anywhere and his contracts up. Farewell season incoming imo. Sad day but it's his time sadly


Should retire both #s

So Minny is 100% getting Towns.
For our pick, it's either Russell, Okafor or the Euro? Out of those, I actually want Okafor. We'd be set up front with Randle and Okafor playing 4 and 5.
Okafor is more of a post player than Randle, so it'll be good.
