they will get #1, book it. they are fretting over nothing. it has to drop to 4th anyway if they are going to lose it, the NBA isn't letting that happen.
I also doubt the league will let them lose the picks. It would cripple their franchise. I don't knwo that they get #1, but they will at least get top-3.
Recently when Adam Silver was asked about who his favorite owners were, one of the two he mentioned was Jeannie Buss.
Yeah, the same Jeannie Buss who has helped run the Lakers into the ground.
It's pretty sad when the fans of a sport justifiably have so little faith in the integrity of the league.
