The thing the Lakers' rebuild have in their favor is that they're in the West. If the Celtics had played last season in the West, they wind up with a worse record, maybe get the 8-9 spot in the draft and we take Justice Winslow, who a lot of people say is a potential star. I'm bullish on Rozier but I'd be crazy to not want Winslow over him.
The Lakers, meanwhile, wind up with the #2 pick and a probably star in Russell. Playing in the West, again, with a bad roster, again, they might well get another crack at a top pick (although if its top 3 I think it goes to Phoenix). So let's hope the Lakers wind up with the worst record in the league.
