I think many of us have forgotten just how to do this.
My philosophy for the past 3 years has been to bite the bullet, take a step back to have a chance to move two steps up later.
#2 pick three years in a row, the tank did it's job oh so well. Job well done, but fare thee well tank...

It's all good friend.
Laws of attraction is a real thing. Positive energy had us keep the pick and go number 2. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Its absolutely not too early. The premise of the op is that we got the No.2 pick in tow, and we don't have a No. 1 next year because it goes to Philly. The tank is dead because we have absolutely no incentive to lose.
We want to win as much as possible to make the pick as bad as possible. |

DLO/BI?Ball? 3 years running....
Then add in Zubac and nance IMo two steals, especially Zubac whom I think will be a a top 5 player from his draft within 2 to 3 years.
Randle too without doubt is a real player, whom I believe will just get better, at #7, the lakers have got a real chance soon, with a top end FA to join these up and comers contender status cannot be far off...
Then you can add in Clarkson to a lesser degree, but still a good pick considering where he went.
And how about that 28th pick this season? Another Zubac type steal/
Plus keeping that 19' pick. Finally up we go.... |

I think we can all agree on one more tank: tanking the value of that 2018 pick. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |

This. How are people not getting that? That was the biggest bonus of keeping the pick this season, a guaranteed season of no tanking because we would have no pick to tank for. |

At least for a year.... probably for good if we don't draft a bust and Russell, Ingram improve |

That's the best part of keeping the pick. We may be a Bottom-3 team next year, but it won't be on purpose; we can play our best and try to win every game, even if we don't. _________________ .... |

Thank god! I loved tanking the first two seasons,but I miss the Lakers in the playoffs. I want the franchise to be good again. Playoffs aren't the same without the Lake show. |
