No logical reason to get mad at a lottery pick saying he doesn't want to go somewhere
It's still out of his hands anyway, no problem with him saying he'd prefer not to play there -
Its a ? reading that ? right now that doesn't even know if he'll be drafted. I know he's mad as hell lol.
-
That ? is tripping, Minnesota is about to be on the come up in a few years with the young ? they have. And he could learn from Garnett, too.
-
If he don't want to play for Minnesota then he can go play in a YMCA league
-
I doubt they would have drafted him anyway. Towns is a much better fit then Okafor and his ceiling is way higher.
-
I knew he felt like this right after Minnesota won the lottery, it was written all over his face.
-
seem like bruh thinkin bout location/movie opportunities ? like that imo. timberwolves have a bunch of young talent and he can be the guy outta all that idk why he wouldnt take that, but i never been in that position to be the guy or go to hollywood lol so i cant really blame him
-
That whole report speculative.
-
Lmaoooo @ all this Wolves on the come up ?
No they're not...Nobody want to play in Minnesota...Id rather go team up with Julius Randle and play with Kobe for a year -

Kobe ain't gon do ? and nobody know if randle is as good as wiggins.

so minnesota doesnt have any young talent? lakers have more?
-
He wasn't going first anyway.
-
I hope the wolves pick his punk ass now just cause he has no leverage. If they pick him he's not gonna sit out a yr and miss out on millions
-
Lol!!!!!!!! Yoooo!!!
I can see that though -

I think Russell is gonna be the star of this draft -
When he see how much taxes go be taken out of his check he go wish Minnesota would have drafted him

No, but it's LA -
He may be looking towards the future. Kobe is gone after next year. That frees up the 25 mil he would make. Then the cap raises above 100 mil in 2017. The Lakers are going to have roughly 70 million to offer top free agents with legacy, weather, beautiful ? and beaches on their side. Minnesota may have young talent, but they'll never be at a point where you'd call them championship contenders cause the best players aren't going to voluntarily choose to play in wack ass minnesota. He played hard and knows teams are thirsting for him. I'd do everything in my power to force my way to the Lakers too

...Zach's Mom like, "C'mon...Just keep it together baby."....loooool...

Steve Francis did it with Vancouver Grizzlies.
Honestly I'd do the same thing.
...Steve's face was like... -
Wolves building a good thing over there. But being the top pick of the Lakers when kobe is just about done is a cool spot to be in if up to the challenge. If he is really legit he could be the face of the team.

Ya act like beside kg kobe about to be tuff on him you see how he treated pau and dwight
-
Who cares... Kobe will be gone soon
-
These rookies gotta alot of nerve man.
No, whats really sad is how fans/readers dont understand how modern media worksI think Okafor might. There are rumors that he has his heart set on the Lakers
If you cant read between the lines on this you're an idiot . Basically its a reporter assuming and just runnin with it bc it sounds believable
