If 76ers get #4 or #5 pick...will they if its their direct pick or pick via Lakers?

I tweeted to Alex Kennedy last night and he said that you will see the Laker logo, regardless of where the pick ends up. They don't want to confuse viewers, and with Philly having a pick that may end up in the same range, that's the right way to go. It's also been suggested here that it would show the Philly logo, but with a notation on the card that says "from the Lakers."

In any case, we will know; it won't just show the Philly logo and that's it.

Lets see those few minutes of suspense may be good for the drama and ratings.

I hate that they start with #14 than #1. Such a torture for Laker fans in last 3 years.

Does anyone know what the progressive odds are? For example if New Jersey gets#1 does that make it like 60% likely we keep ours. Then if Phoenix gets#2 then we're 75% gonna get our pick etc ?

If both NJ and Phoenix get drawn for the first two picks, we have a roughly 28% chance of getting the third pick.

Basically, taking their combos off the board helps us, but on the other hand, taking draws off the board hurts.

actually I saw on the NBA Instagram what looks like a different stage arrangement, they might be announcing the picks on a screen instead of revealing a paper with the team's logo?
