Officially 2 weeks out from the lottery. Use this thread to discuss the important things: Who will represent us? Will we even keep our pick? Will D'angelo uncover the truth behind the lottery ball conspiracy?

Last years lottery had me more nervous than any last second game winning attempt has ever had me. Gonna be so much worse this year listening to the countdown hoping a team hasn't jumped into the top 3.

Yes.

We desperately need to keep our pick this season.

If we continue to keep our picks, there is a chance that in 2018 we don't have a 1st or 2nd round pick. Not sure which is worse. Hopefully by '18 we are winning 45+ games.

I wonder what players they think are worth of trading it for?

Cousins, Butler, and Paul George. That's it pretty much. The only one that I would have no reservations trading a #1 for would be PG13. The other two, I'd have to think about it. Doesn't matter though, Cowherd is a tool with no sources. Also, Kristine Leahy is a babe, but I disagree with her tweet about Luke.

Agree on PG13, especially with Vogel likely out of Indy, not sure how George feels about it.

Hes from palmdale, grew up a kobe fan.

I would trade for PG for the 1st or 2nd. I would trade the 3rd for Butler, Cousins, or whoever the Lakers have on their list.

Might be me, but I think Jim might be pushing to trade our draft pick to save his job? I really hope that's not his intentions, because he'd be risking the Lakers future especially to save him? No thank you...

Dark horse... Westbrook, if Durant, and the rumors about both of them wanting to come here are true.

Was just thinking that last night. If Presti knows he's gonna lose Westbrook to the same team Durant just walked to, he'll look to get any value for him.

I meant how George feels about a coaching change. I know Vogel asked him to play PF which he hated. I feel Indy would be best with George at SF or SG to let a wing defender at either SG or SF. Ellis is better suited off the bench. They need more perimeter D and some strong rebounding. But eh oh well lol

Id love to see what the cash price would be of a late 1st rd pick in this draft and also 2nd rd picks cash value in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Couple plyrs id like to get a closer look at and take a chance on as a 3rd string plyr

One thing I'm sure of:

Colin Cowherd has no idea what the Lakers plan to do.

Others: Byron Scott. Tank commander is not backing down. He got us the 2nd pick last year, he's helping us keep that pick this year.

I take it Luke is ineligible to sneak away for the 17th?

Man, it would be pretty cool if Kobe represented the Lakers at the lottery. Although I'm sure some of you want him to stay as far away from the franchise as possible.
