If the Lakers pick falls out of the top 5 and the 76ers get it, I might break my TV.

I'm going to laugh so hard if they get the Lakers at #6. Then cry myself to sleep.

Or 14th. Worst case scenario for us, is OKC gets top 3 pick, and then another WC team that is up-n-coming like Utah also jumps to top 3, and then the Lakers drop to 6th, Philly gets it, and Porzingis is sitting at that spot on draft night.

Basically we don't want anyone to jump if it's not us (if you don't want Philly to get that pick). I know some would rather the Lakers lose their pick regardless, but it will just be painful to me and I'm sure others to always know we traded that pick in a good top heavy draft.

Yes, it sucks that i feel like i need to choose between the joy of seeing lakers lose their pick, and wanting to save face by making sure Lakers keep the pick

Best case scenario is Lakers keep their pick, and the pick is a bust, but next offseason they sign a couple of free agents to make them mediocre, so Philly ends up getting a 2016 pick in the late lotto, and then the Lakers fade back to nothing and toil in obscurity forever.

Sarver should have adopted Dan Gilbert's son for the day and have him represent the Suns at the lottery. Guaranteed #1 pick.
