LAKERS: draft bomb defusedsteemCreated with Sketch.

The two guys you see laughing in the pic probably avoided an infarct. Rob Pelinka and Magic Johnson, GM and Lakers President, must have spent the whole day praying.
The Lottery that was held last night could have turned them into a disaster and instead they came out winners. Yes, Boston takes the No.1, but for the Lakers it could have gone wrong, indeed bad.
In case they came out of the top 3, in addition to having to give up their choice at the Sixers - Phila will receive next year's pick as unprotected - they would also have to give up the 1° round pick in 2019 to Orlando, still in play by the trade for Dwight Howard.
Great sigh of relief instead and even a step ahead from the 3° position to 2°. Everything seems to be conspicuous for an arrival to the Staples of Lonzo, and with him LaVar, LaMelo, LiAngelo, LaValle, LaMadonna, and all the La's you want. the whole Staples is already booked.
So, who won (for now)?
Said the Lakers, surely among the winners, Boston.
The Celtics confirm the 1° pick and finally dissipate the negative tradition that had seen them in the past "miss the appointment" with Tim Duncan and Kevin Durant.
What will they do with pick n.1? For me, they'll take Markelle Fultz, a great addition to the back-court, but everything could happen. Danny Ainge has many cards in his hands, I think he wants to play them well.
Another winner, posthumously, Sam Hinkie, the former of the Sixers. With a brilliant trade, in the summer of 2015, Nik Stauskas, a couple of huge contracts and the right to swap this year's choice with Sacramento (2019). A legalized robbery for me. So it happens that the Kings rise from 8 to 3 and "magically" find themselves at the 5th.
Josh Harris, the owner of the Sixers, said he sent greetings and kisses to Sam. Here it would be best to send him a new contract to sign, to the one who brilliantly rose Phila's future filled of first choices and cap space to spend. Trust the process, forever.
