The draft next year isn't that good, I don't think either of those picks will be top 5 anyways. There is a decent chance that LA pick turns into SAC/Philly's 2019 first which could be alright I guess.

I think the Lakers will still be bad they are still extremely young

People think Ball is gonna come in there and add tons of wins which is unrealistic

Look at how long it's taken the Wolves and the Lakers don't have a plAyer on Towns level

I don't think it's because the Lakers and Nets are going to be good, but because there are other teams that are going to be even worse.

True. Gotta figure the Pacers and Bulls are two teams who will be near the bottom of the league the Kings and Suns also

I think the Lakers will fit in somewhere around those teams

It sounds like Ainge would rather give up then Lakers/Kings pick then the Nets pick

I think I'd rather give up the Nets pick. With trades and money to spend and how they develop players like u said I could see them finishing 6-10 worst and next year draft is like a 4 or 5 man class then it falls off a cliff

I would rather send away the pick from the team who is slowly piecing together a promising young core who has no incentive to lose.

I dunno, they are still gonna suck

You have Bulls bottom 3, yeah?

As of right now I'd probably say Orlando, Phoenix and Chicago would be my bottom 3. Pacers, Hawks and Kings all in that discussion too, we'll see how free agency goes.

Id put the Knicks in their.Im not a Melo fan but if they trade him they are really gonna have trouble scoring

I forgot about the Hawks. If Millsap and Teague leave I imagine their gonna go into a full rebuild
