Lol throwing in the towel !
There's always Sacramento's pick next year!

It's a darn good one if this doesn't work out. Once 2018-2019 college bball kicks off, the 2019 draft hype will begin!
My guess is the 2019 NBA Draft hype will begin here on Celticsblog in less than one hour after an unsuccessful 2018 draft lottery for the Celtics.

Would you have it any other way?  ;D
ok fine

Unless the Lakers go on an insane winning streak, it seems they are a distant 9th worst at the moment, so our only real hope is if a few teams below them can leap them in the coming month.

But I do think it's hard to see LAL passing the 10th worst teams and beyond unless they go on a huge winning streak and teams like Utah, New York all start to tank and play horrible.

At the moment they are equally close to the 8th worst Nets as they are to the 12th worst Jazz. hate to say it but at this point I' kind of fine with them winning. We aren't getting up to 5h or 4th worst and I'd rather the 76ers get the 10h or 11th pick then the 6th or 7th. We can always pray for lottery luck.

Not going to lie, not loving Nets 1 game back in loss column for worst record 😐 I feel about Lakers as I did earlier in year, small chance in hell we get top 5 pick.

It is going to be a tankathon for many teams to end this year.

It's probably safe to say the LAL pick will fall somewhere between 9 and 11. The Knicks just lost the Unicorn for the season so they're about to plummet. Unless lighting strikes lotto luck we're onto 2018-2019 Sacramento Season watch thread. Here's to hoping Philly doesn't get a nice player out of this draft.

At this rate, Lakers are trying to make a push at the playoffs.

I can't decide if this makes the Lakers better or worse for this year...

Ya, me either.  Could make them worse if Isaiah is looking to pad his stats for a payday, but we'll need serious lotto luck for the pick to convey anyway.

Most likely worse.  They've been playing pretty good defense.

I would rather have Ball shooting at end of game and not IT..that is for sure. Gut tells me it makes the Lakers better in close games but they need to be in close games is the caveat.

Lebron has chased 2 stars out of Cleveland in less than a year. Bow down to the King or take a place on the altar.

Lakers moved their best 3 pt shooter for the worst defender in the league. ITs numbers this year aren't good

I actually wonder whether they buy out IT. Ball is their PG of the future - they're committed. Would they keep IT to play shooting guard? Play him ahead of Ball? I don't see that.

IT expires in 2 months. No need to buy out
