really hope the Clippers can get into the playoffs past the Spurs... force the Celtics to cash in 2 of their picks as non lottery picks in a weak draft

We should tank from this moment. Tell Lebron to do what he wants and just play rest of the team. Its enough to tank. They can even try to win but they will not. We can use good pick in many ways.

Say we have the 14th pick and Bol Bol is available... should we take him eventhough he has a foot injury and rumors are he’s not a hard worker?

Trade the 14th plus Josh Hart or one of our young players for a top 7 pick.

looking at the games ahead I dont see how we pass the Kings. Save Lebron the embarrassment and shut him down after all star break for injury recover... that will be his excuse for missing the playoffs.
Lets get this tank rolling.

I feel like theres a big drop off after #4.... who’s a good player between 5-7?

We should draft Hunter... 45% from three... projected top 10 pick.

Would more than make up for getting rid of Svi.

We cannot trade this pick to NO...

I thought the Lakers organization never tanks like the other trash organizations in the league. Wait....nevermind...I've seen a tank topic here like 3 out of 4 years.

My views have changed. The tanking might be for another purpose.

With Demps fired, I have a feeling the Lakers will offer the lottery pick plus a young player for AD in the summer.

For me it's:

Tier 1: ZION


Tier 2: Morant, RJ.Barrett

Tier3: J.Culver, C.Reddish, R.Langford, D.Garland

Tier 4: N.Little, D.Hunter,



I think Bol Bol as of now, will go 12th to 17th.....

Let's say we win the 2nd or 3rd pick and offer it to the Nets alongside salary filler for D'Angelo. In this hypothetical, D'Angelo is just coming off of an explosive postseason. Who says no?

Another hypothetical:

Let's say we get the #1 pick and draft Zion. LeBron wants him traded for AD or whoever. Do you reject LeBron, trade him to another contender, and opt to build around Zion? Or do you do what LeBron says?
