For the love of the game 56 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Best we can hope for is #9 I think. That's with everything falling our way. I've been out of the loop for most of the year. How is it we could get two top ten picks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 I've been out of the loop for most of the year. How is it we could get two top ten picks? As part of the Dwight trade, we get the worst of Denver's two picks this year: one of them is their own, the other is NY's. As of right now, it looks like both those teams would miss the playoffs, and if both those picks end in the lottery, we get whichever one ends up worse.

That trade is looking better and better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted February 26, 2014 I thought the picks were all highly protected. That trade is looking better and better. That's the Lakers picks that are highly protected (1st and 2nd rounders). Stern probably made the Magic include those protections because he would never want the Lakers to give up anything of value...after all they are the Lakers. As far as Im concerned there is NO WAY the Lakers should have had any protection considering what they gave up (nothing...since they knew Bynum was whatever version of damaged goods you want to talk about). I know D12 had Henny bent over the barrel but there should have been no protection at all. WHo knows maybe Stern promised the Magic a ping pong ball in the draft like Cleveland. NBA=WWE.

The Lakers pick is top 5 protected... the 2nd round pick is top 40 protected but I ask you... Who actually cares? It's a 2nd round pick, most of them don't even make their rosters. The conspiracy theories are getting old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
