i don't see us trading the pick

[TruSkool]

Pick will be traded if Exum, Parker, Wiggins, Embiid, Randle are not available imo

[TyCobb]

The pressure from the financiers may make them move the pick. Too much money on the line.

[TonyMontana]

We are picking third, we are keeping it and we are either picking Embiid or Exum!!

We are picking third, we are keeping it and we are either picking Embiid or Exum!!

Would ship either of those guys for Kevin Love. Give me Parker or Wiggins or I would rather have Love.

Use it on Kyrie and hope Love comes the following year.

I heard the interview, to me I'm just tired of the franchise being so coy about things. I mean I get it, don't want to fully expose your plan but there are ways to express what some of the plan is.

Listening to Mitch and Jeanie speak some time is like looking through a kaleidoscope....just distortion.

[BEazy]

I really want Exum on this team!

[SlimShady83]

I really want Exum on this team!

Me too but only because I'm Aussie:) and I root for all Aussies to make it big in the NBA we should try and trade for Patty mills too:) hehe.

[One Love]

Exum will be legit... I hope we get him... Only players I want more are Irving or Love, period...

I just get this terrible feeling that if the Lakers do end up trading away their pick because it isn't a top 5 pick, whoever gets drafted by that pick will end up being a franchise changer. You never know.
Imagine that guy Aaron Gordon does end up being a Blake Griffin-like player, or maybe Marcus Smart pans out in the pros as a decent replacement for Kobe... Idk. I'm sure whatever decision the Lakers FO make will be the best for the franchise, but at the same time, I'm not concerned with having Kobe retire a champ. I'm more interested in building for the future. I don't care about immediate success if it doesn't translate into long term success.
