Everything is explained HERE.

NBA.com is the NBA's official website which tends to be more accurate in these types of transactions (R. Sessions trade and Laker pick rights in 2013).

I can't find the part on NBA.com where it says that the Suns get the Lakers pick if they miss the playoffs. Could someone post the link, from NBA.com, to confirm the Suns get the Laker's pick if they don't make the playoffs.

I'm amazed how people keep questioning what the protection is.

[TheOUTLAW]

I'm pretty sure we had this figured out some time ago. Pretty remarkable that it's still in question actually. No way did I think that the Lakers would be sucking so badly for so long.

[IMHO]

im praying to god every night for the 15th pick.

[Rise Against]

At this point, we should be rooting for the Lakers to win. I think that they have lost enough. There are 3 teams ahead of them for the 8th seed. It's not looking good though. Seems like Howard and Gasol are going to be missing some time.

[TheOUTLAW]

Hill too

[IMHO]

never thought I'd say this in my life

LET'S GO LAKERS!

[ScramboD8]

The Lakers better get it going soon. They won't win tonight though.

[Harper4Ferry?]

They gotta go roughly 31-16 to sniff the playoffs now. Just seems so unlikely now.

Don't worry. We got this.

Honestly I don't even care about this pick, I just want to stomp a reeling Lakers team tonight! I mean, what great player are we going to draft 15th?

Word. Their season is all but over in my eyes, I doubt we get the pick. I'm just happy to see this team stacked with HOF players fail so badly.

Much easier to trade up to the 10th-12th spot in the draft with the 15th pick then it is to the 15th pick from the 28th spot. The Cavs have what 4 picks in this draft? Im assuming they try to package all of their later picks to move up again like last year.
