Byron Scott looks like he's perspiring.

I wanted the 1st pick but the 2nd pick is way better than the 4th pick.

Lets go lakers!

Waiting for the haters in 3... 2... 1....

[Sedale Threatt]

Boom. Now don't F this up.

[TheHartBreakKid]

Man that was intense.... cheers boys. I didn't wanna say anything before but this is so big for our franchise. Things are finally looking up. I don't know if I want okafor over Russell..... but its a good problem to have and I'm confident that the FO will make the right choice.

[Mirjalovic]

this is too **** too good to be true..

this can't be right, right ?

wow

[RJM]

I actually like the Lakers with #2. Takes a ton of pressure off of the player. LA can’t say they made the wrong choice with the #1 guy gone.

[DEEP3CL]

Hell yeah ......good with 2. Towns is there for the taking.

[moonpie]

Would just like to say that I did that lottery simulator thing for the first time all season and ended up #2. Still got my boy Russell at the top of my board and stoked that we're in a position to nab him, but can't go wrong with Towns, Okafor, or Russell. What a night!

Who said tanking don't work?

The Knicks.

[what would jack bauer do?]

I think we just got a hell of a lot more attractive to free agents. Clarkson, Randle, and either Towns or Okafur? Who wouldn't want to be a part of that in sunny LA? The future is bright.

[TwoStarz]

Lol Sixer's and Knicks haha

[The Prodigy]

Towns or Okafor.

Tonight was a good night.

[hermes]

glad we kept the pick, here's hoping we get a good guy and make a quick turnaround

[kblo247]

My thought is still that the bigs are not ready and will not contribute or have a career as good as the smalls, but you have to go best talent/best asset available mode and pick one of them. This means that we have ourselves a chance to either let them develop or at least flip them early on for a Westbrook or Cousins before their deal expires. I prefer that flexibility and an actual asset over the bull of thinking Hill is worth a pick at every deadline.

This also means Rondo, a room exception wing, and Hibbert should be our goals this summer

Who said tanking don't work?

The Knicks.

[massive attack]

Towns would probably be most ideal... I wouldn't mind Okafor, If he can improve his conditioning he can be a monster on both ends.

Russell is too talented to ignore, then there's Winslow who i'm really high on.

[Worst_to_First]

Congratulations guys! Much deserved. Hope this pick gets the Lakers back on track. Unfortunately, things did not go as well for us.
