If you had a bag of peanuts would you offer it for Ty Lawson, or feed them to a hungry circus Elephant?

I'd probably use the peanuts to get Lawson and then feed him to the hungry elephants...two birds with one stone sorta deal

Bad comparison, two different players who rely on two different skill-sets to be productive.

Funny I checked an old thread from Lakersground in Oct and they were all convinced they wouldn't be bad enough to get a top 3 pick.

Is there still a Legends game? That would be more at Kobe's level nowadays.

 

[KingSpeed]

With everyone else who doesn't waste time watching the all-star game anymore...

Seriously, though, didn't they have something recently that incorporated legends, like a male-female skills contest or something?

The Shooting Stars challenge is a 3 player event with teams composed of an NBA player, a WNBA player, and a retired NBA player. There have been some bigger names who have done it, but they aren't all "legends" per say.

The Legends game had no actual legends, either. Retired superstars avoided it, to maintain their reputations.
