I'd love Denver's 19th pick for the right price, none of our picks nor the kids. Could draft Taurean Prince with that.
2014: Randle / Clarkson
2015: Russell / Nance
2016: Ingram / Zubac
2017: Top 3 Pick? :nod: Fultz, Ball or Bust

I don't think sabonis could as adding bulk won't help his mobility but maybe our resident ncaa heads can shed more light here

Only for Small ball. Will be better suited for the Power spot.

I can't think about the Draft Lottery without getting a headache, anxiety and diarrhea.

I think the draft lottery result will have a big impact in the team's off-season. I feel that if we get the pick, this team will be back in contention. May the odds be ever in Lakers' favor.

I think the Lakers are definitely shopping the pick. Teams are looking at the top 2 picks as the next elite players. Not Buss - he just needs to make it to the 2nd round next year.

Our pick for Jimmy Butler seems like a move the Lakers would make (although obviously it's a mistake). Or a similar trade. The Lakers will trade their pick for an established all-star player, especially at a positional need.

I really hope not, the only deal i would like for that pick that could happen is DMC for it or something along those lines. At least that gives us a top center and maybe makes us look better for next season
