Are the Lakers going to be forced to give their 1st round pick to the Boston Celtics?

[t-wizzle]

Their longtime #1 rival? They’ve already lost the pick by trading it away years ago and it’s since been traded and traded again. If it falls between 2 and 6 it goes to Boston.

If they don’t start winning some games they will likely fall right in the 2-6 slot.

Will the Lakers have to give up this pick to the Celtics? How embarrassing would that be to such a storied franchise.

Will not happen.

i play NBA2k17

if they finish in the bottom 10 then yes it could fall there as its a draft lottery

[DOM-Ganador]

I believe the 3x it is unprotected.

The important thing for the Lakers is that they got Bozo......er, Lonzo.

Lakers could use that pick to get Trey Young, instead, the Celtics may use it to get Bagley.

The Lakers are terrible. They might finish with the worst record in basketball and give the pick to the Sixers.

Long term they are okay but they will probably lose that pick.I think Kuzma has been a great surprise and Ball has been serviceable. Get a few more pieces and they can compete.

Very bad organization

Was a very good organization until that penetrating Stern fella ****** it all up by blocking the CP3 trade. They never recovered.

Oh, I know. My dad is a big Lakers fan, and I heard all about it...LOL

Lakers best chance is free agency in the future not draft picks.. They have enough young talent, it's veteran leadership and proven star players they lack.. They don't have one player right now that is even close to being selected into the All Star game.. That's the problem.

This Laker team is garbage.. Starting to lose now...

I've been a Laker fan since early 80's and that infuriated me. Bunch of cry baby b!tches like Mark Cuban and the Maloof brothers all crying about how unfair it is because Boston and LA have more money blah blah blah

If that were to happen and Boston could land a big like Ayton or Bagley they would be a legit threat to topple Warriors. The pick along with Brown and Tatum would all be on team friendly deals allowing them to not have back end of roster filled with scrubs.

Disagree on Hayward. Yes the contract was for more than it should be money wise but he is solid on both ends of the court. Lebron is not going to Boston with Kyrie on the roster.
