The more I think about it, I really would prefer to have the Lakers pick convey this year, while it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if it didn't, if it did to have potentially two top five picks this year, you not only would have the chance to draft two good players, but you could also use one of those picks to trade for Jimmy Butler or Paul George.
