Thirdly, wiggins is a beast, but right now I'll take parker over him any day in the draft. And lastly, anyone who believes lebron is going to L.A. has not watched basketball for any meaningful amount of time, and should drop the rediculous notion right now. The dude has two rings in miami, and quite frankly cares about nothing else except for having a legacy. One which will be tainted going to a third team for no apparent reason. And as a side note, the lakers should not go after melo. he is a non defense playing, knuckleheaded, chucker! Plain and simple. The dude couldn't win squat except for a scoring title on new york, why would he do anything on the lakers where he'd be number 2 to kobe. Melo i might add is also the same guy who is rumored to also not shoot off screens when wide open because he believes he can make the shot with a defender in his face. So yeah, we want him because?
