    I would've taken Okafor. Or maybe I jut wanted Philly to take Russell since he'd be such a good git.

    Boston/Philly mega trade coming?

    I was hoping for a long time that the Lakers would not take Russell. I think it's a smart move by them. We'll see.

    76ers gonna take Okafor when they already have Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid?

    D. Russell and J. Clarkson are the same type of player, combo guards who need the ball in their hands. I don't see them coexisting on the Lakers.

    Hmmm... I would have taken Okafor I feel. So many good PG's in the NBA, even if Russel is really good he may only be bairly top 10. Okafor has a much more unique, high potential skill-set I think.

    Draft Okafor and trade him for a King's ransom.

    Russell is going to be a superstar, easily. I hate this.

    Well at least Philly can trot out a three man post lineup.

    Nerlens at the 3.

    Embiid isn't a sure thing with his recent setback and PHI not saying how long it would take to get him back to 100%
