Lakers will now be able to sign Blatt, Thibodeau, or Lionel Hollins next year

Scott's gonna be out after they get the pick, what a time to be alive :banana:

The stars are aligning. Isn't that great?

Lakers would still be another lotto pick away from fighting for that 8th seed.

2nd year Russell isn't going to be a superstar
rookie Ben Simmons will have no jumpshot
Julius Randle is probably still going to have no jumpshot


It will take another lotto pick in 2017 and some progress from Russell and Randle to attract a top tier FA.

They'll be able to sign all three in the same season.
