Even if the Celtics don't take Fultz, Lakers will still get Ball

I wanted the Lakers pick to go to 2018 so this is almost perfect imho.

And it works out well for the Lakers as now no longer owe the Magic our pick in 2019 (the only pick we gave up to get Dwight)

It converts into 2 second rounders

You know, Mitch wasn't a terrible GM (mostly)

Exactly. They get the Kings pick in 2019 too, right? Both those teams are gonna be bad. A top 10 pick for two straight years as they go to the playoffs.

I don't know if I have the energy although Ainge is a lot more likely to make a boneheaded pick than the Timberwolves or Sixers would here.

I've seen every shot Josh Jackson shot in college. In fact every shot since he arrived on campus. He started the year on a terrible slump and then shot much better. More importantly when he needed shots he hit them, he wills them in which is a thing. He's a scorer.

No. Sixers get the Lakers 2018 pick and the Kings 2019.

In the end, the Lakers got an upgrade at every position for the Dwight Howard trade and it only cost them two second round picks (one of which the Magic have somehow already traded).

I've been waiting like four years to make this post.

Sixers: They’ll have a loving weird rear end lineup with a 6’9 PG, a 7’2 center who hits 3s, and jackson, who floats from 2-4 depending on the lineup playing balls to the wall every second. Screw shooting, this team would own so hard.

If the Lakers are going to take Ball anyway, maybe they can swap picks with the Sixers in exchange for Jahlil Okafor so at least we can say we got something for him.

If Embiid by some miracle actually could stay healthy a lineup with Jackson, Covington, and Embiid has the potential to be incredible defensively.

Yeah the Sixers are going to be fun as hell to watch this year if they get Jackson.

Both Jackson AND Covington can float 2-4 defensively so I'm thinking you can put them both on the floor at the same time. Sign a short term solution in the backcourt like a Dion Waiters and roll out

Simmons - Waiters - Covington - Jackson - Embiid

I literally bought season tickets 4 days ago so that would definitely be worth my investment

Man why do I get the feeling that Vlade is going to take Tatum at #5 so he can roll the dice at Frank being there at #10 and if not, taking Mitchell and converting him to PG

I mean, you have to take into account it was a salary dump.

Unfortunately the salary dump was used on Marco and Kosta so it's not like it closed the gap that much

#5 probably means Kings are getting Fox unless Vlade thinks he can be coy and take Tatum and hope Smith or Frank are there at #10

I'm happy it broke out this way for the Kings since it feels more likely Frank is still there at 11

For a second I thought you were talking about Frank Mason at 10, that's what Vivek has done to the Kings, bring back the Maloofs.

One of these things needs to happen to justify the lottery order

1) Celtics decide to draft for need and go with Jackson/Tatum
2) Ainge convinces Magic that the Celtics are considering Ball at #1, gets the Lakers to give up assets to move up one pick
