Will you be upset if the Lakers get a top 3 pick

U mad bros?

[Buckets]

I think the bigger question is will you be upset if they don't?

[FPL]

Yes I will be upset. I want a top 1 or 2 pick.

In all seriousness, 3rd is probably the best because there are 3 can't-miss prospects IMO (Wiggins, Embiid, Exum), and there's no bad decision to be made at that point.

what do you mean "if"?

Obviously I'd prefer a top 3 pick, but this draft is so loaded, I doubt I'll be disappointed.

I'm just curious if people are mad that LAL is always so good, and then when they finally suck, they get a top pick in a great draft. Honestly, I'd probably be a little peeved if I were them.

Bucks are a lock for worst record in the league, so they'll be top 4 at worst, likely 1st or 2nd.

I'm not worried about Utah, I think they're getting Parker. He seems like the most NBA-ready guy, but I think the Lakers FO needs to swing for the stars with this pick.

Agreed. 2 guys I absolutely don't want- Vonleh(a lot of mocks have us taking him) and Randle.

Not really. So long as they beat out Orlando & Cleveland. At least the Lakers capitalize on lottery-top 15 picks, like Worthy, Bynum, & Kobe. Cavs and Magic get their high picks and ship/let them walk away.

This is very true. I'd get annoyed if i was a magic fan.

let's just hope for the best.

Of course they'll be mad. It's an endless cycle they still haven't learned. Whether it's through draft or FA, the Lakers always find a way to expedite their way out of mediocrity. You seen it 1979, 1996, 2008, and soon to be 2014.

If be happy with any top-5. IMO the drop is after Randle.

[Johnnyblazzed]

Adam Silver is already testing the weighted Lakers ping pong ball. Lakers with the first pick.

The drop starts with him.

There is a definite drop from 1 to Randle, but a bigger one from Randle to 6.

I disagree, but I'm(admittedly)a Randle hater. I don't see him being that great of a pro. There's more than a couple guys I'd take before him that are projected to go after him.

I disagree pretty strongly, I see all-star in him and I don't in any guys after him. I think he'll fill out and inevitably develop a perimeter game as all young bigs do nowadays. I wouldn't mind LaVine if we fell to the 8-10 range.

Maybe. I've been wrong before and I'm sure I'll be wrong again, but I don't see it.

I like Lavine too.
