If its between 2018 Lakers pick or 2019 Kings pick... (poll)

[JHTruth]

Is the Kings pick totally unprotected? I ask because it's clear to me that the Lakers will win around 40 games this year.

15 game improvement? How?

Because some people apparently believe in the Lonzo hype

He'll be fun to watch, but offense really hasn't been their problem. Their problem is their defense is off the charts bad. Like historically bad. And they are probably adding a rookie PG who is probably the worst, most disinterested defender in the draft and Lopez, hardly a DPOY candidate. LOL.

40 wins lol. That was funny

I've been reading laker forums and they know their team is still a big work in progress.

It's not rocket science guys.

The Lakers don't have a pick this year, they have no reason to tank.

They have a good coach with a championship pedigree - Luke Walton. 

They had the best draft of any team.  (Ball, Kuzma, Hart).

They picked up Brook Lopez and KCP (two NBA starters) in free agency.

Brandon Ingram is now in his second year, Julius Randle is in his contract year.

They have a solid bench in Deng, Zubac, Nance Jr., Corey Brewer, and Jordan Clarckson all of whom could start on at least a few teams in the NBA.

But really the key to it all is that Lonzo Ball is a transcendent NBA talent.  He's a culture changer and he'll make every position on the floor better with his pace, vision, and passing.

Nah man, he's right. When's the last time a team with no incentive to tank and a top center like Lopez won less than 40 games?

How many wins do you predict?

How many wins are they predicting on the Lakers forums?

My guess is 30-35

Totally different situation.  The Nets haven't drafted in the top Twenty since 2010.

The Lakers will be starting four high lottery picks and Brook Lopez. Most of the Lakers' bench would be starters on the Nets.

Lin is arguably the best player not names Lopez between the two teams. Not to mention that the east last year was awful, while the west this season is stacked. The Lakers are almost guaranteed to win more games than the Nets did last year, but they'll still be closer to 25 wins than 40

[Big333223]

Is the C's get the Lakers pick, it'll be top 5. We know that. Top 5 in a draft that (early) looks like there are 4 big prospects.

That Kings pick presents more room for variability. I know they're the Kings but they had a competent offseason, adding some veteran leadership but not so much that they won't still be bad in the West this year. They'll add a good draft pick in 2018 and have a lot of money to spend on free agents that summer. In the 2018-19 season, Hield will be 25 in his 3rd year, Skal will be 22 in his 3rd year, Cauley-Stein will be 25 in his 4th year, De'aaron Fox will be 20 going into his second season, and George Hill will be 32 going into his 11th year. 

The West is nuts but if the young guys develop a little and they're able to add an impact free agent next summer (it could be an appealing team to join) that Kings pick could easily be outside the top ten.

Ball, Ingram, Randle (If you want to call #7 a high lottery pick), and who exactly is their 4th high lottery pick??
