I just can't envision a scenario where the NBA doesn't make sure that the Sixers do NOT get the Lakers pick tonight.

I agree with this post.

I'm okay with that. The lakers pick is unprotected next year.

Sorry, somehow I read it as "next five years" instead of "past five years."

You don't think the birds are moving in the right direction?
