The problem is that if it is the #1 pick, it doesn't go to us.
We only get the Lakers pick if it lands 2-5.And Ayton will be taken #1 overall is what it looks like. So the question is who would you want out of Doncic, Bagley, Bamba, etc., etc. if the Lakers pick conveys.
Another question to ponder is would you rather have a top 2-5 pick in this years draft, or would you rather have a top 5 pick in the next draft, when it will be the King's pick conveying for sure with zero protections, unless... it is the #1 overall pick in which case we get the Sixers pick that year instead, booo!!
