The next event will happen with the NBA Draft lottery on Tuesday in New York City where the Lakers will learn their draft order surrounding their first round pick. After finishing with 27-55 record, the sixth worst in the NBA, the Lakers’ draft pick will likely fall either in sixth (43.9 percent) or seventh (30.5 percent). The Lakers have a 21.5 percent chance of climbing to a top-three pick and have slim odds of dropping either to eight (4 percent) or nine (.1 percent).
“If the window is 1-9, it’s significant,” Kupchak said on Friday. “Obviously we want to get lucky. So there’s a lot of anticipation and we’re hopeful that Tuesday is a good day. If I had to be in the lottery, this would be a year to have a pick.”
So much that Kupchak said he may seek acquiring additional first-round draft picks.
“We may look to get a pick some other way because we have guys we interviewed who aren’t going to be gone before the second round, but they’ll be around after [our current pick],” Kupchak said. “You only get so many assets in this league. Draft picks are an asset. There’s cap room, draft picks and players. Those are assets you can use to rebuild a team.”
There's definitely depth in this draft, so the idea of getting multiple picks may have really good value to filling out the roster with young cheap talent. Hmmmm...Thoughts fellas?
After Wiggins, Parker, Exum, Embiid are off the board would we really consider the idea of moving the pick?
