How much do people care about this? We really haven't talked about it too much in here but it's 3 days away. Also lets say we keep the pick and Lonzo Ball is available, would you Draft him? Do you guys think he is the real deal? Can he play with Russell? Is Lonzo's father just too damn annoying so should we take someone else if Lonzo is even available? I am not sold on Josh Jackson at all and I think Fultz is going #1. What do you guys think about that kid from Kentucky (Fox), he outplayed Lonzo in the Sweet 16 and is a great Defensive player? He is a solid scorer as well. Could play him at PG and move Russell to SG if we drafted him. I see Russell as more of a SG.

I need to do my research on this draft . . the goal is probably to get the best player available, regardless of position or skill set, and engage in trade options to get who we want. We can't sell "youth movement" for all of next season -- Magic knows we need to improve the roster and get some star power suited up ASAP.

Despite finding his dad annoying, I would love to see Lonzo Ball a Laker. Lonzo could play PG and he is tall, Russ the SG, and Clarkson would be a good 6th man who can play both PG or SG. We will find out Tuesday whether or not we keep the pick.

Here we go folks!

Yes we kept our Top 3 pick! It's between Boston and Philly and us now. But we have Top 3 no matter what.

We got the #2 pick, I am real happy with this. A lot of options.

Yessss!!!!

Congratulations TrueLakersFans!!!

#2.....YES BABY!!!!!!!!!

And now Magic & Pelinka got options!!

This a great day. We have tons of options now, we could trade the pick and one of our youngsters to perhaps acquire George or just Draft Fultz or Ball and stay the same and wait for George to become a Free Agent in 2018. So many options. I don't think you can go wrong with Ball or Fultz, pair one of them with Russell in the backcourt and that looks pretty good on paper.

Ideally, Paul George's agent would simply tell Rob Pelinka to wait until 2018 unless there's a way to trade for Paul George while getting rid of either Deng or Mozgov.

Sadly, the Celtics hold all the cards over us in any deal for a superstar, so let's be realistic. They could easily add both Butler and PG will all their assets. Fuck.

HaHaHaHa!!!! The Phoenix Suns tanked on purpose for NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! HaHaHaHa!!!!!

I still like our options, George doesn't remind of a guy that would like to play in Boston. He is really a west coast guy. Boston is becoming a contender though so players may want to go there. Russell and Randle both have 2 solid years under their belt now and Ingram is getting his diapers off. Now we will either have Ball or Fultz to develop. That is a lot of young talent + Clarkson and Nance and Zubac are all young too!
