Lakers will go to draft lottery with 46.9% chance of keeping their 2017 and 2019 1st-round picks (and 53.1% chance they'll go to PHI + ORL). |
Sigh..... let's just pray that we luck out and get to keep our pick so that we can finally put this tank era behind us.
If we lose this pick Luke Walton and his arrogance and stupidity is going to be held in serious contempt by lakers fans |

really?
only way we in playoff contention is if we trade our young guys for PG13's expiring contract
or
sign 1 of hayward/blake/cp3
no matter who else we will sign, we will be in tank mode after all star. |

I like Porter Jr., but I think he has more flaws than Fultz as an offensive prospect |

| On the bright side at least we sucked for so long that this 5 or 6 game winning streak isn't going to drop us more than 1 spot. We are pretty close to the 6ers and Magic. |

My hope was at least 23 wins, 27 at the top end and 30+ for a great season. We might top out.

Or Donic.
Donic/Porter > Fultz imo. |

kid isnt afraid talk about being the best thats ever played. crazy.
coached by brandon roy and comes from a basketball family.
it'd suck that we lose our pick this year but we'd have a chance at least at Porter Jr/Ayton/Doncic
we're pretty much gonna suck next year either way and we'll be dreading the lottery next year hoping the sixers dont land a top 3 with our pick lol |

Do you mean the Wiggins draft? 2014 was their miracle draft, not 2011. |
