2017 NBA draft live: Pick-by-pick results

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to make the next major decision in their rebuild under Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka, making their selection with the No. 2 pick of the 2017 NBA Draft Thursday night.

It’s been an insane week of Lakers news, with D’Angelo Russell being shipped off along with the contract of Timofey Mozgov to the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers are moving full steam ahead, following the vision of a new front office.

Outside of the obvious draft chatter, the bigger story has been the future of Paul George, whose days in Indiana Pacers are clearly numbered. He’s informed Indiana that he plans on leaving as a free agent, and prefers the Lakers as his destination. That’s created a chaotic news cycle, and he’s only one of the star players in trade discussions even as the NBA Draft gets underway.

Kristaps Porzingis, Jimmy Butler and all sorts of trade scenarios are on the table, and it’s set up one of the most highly-anticipated drafts in years.

Most mock drafts project Lonzo Ball to the Lakers, but Josh Jackson is still very much a possibility, and De’Aaron Fox could end up being the point guard they decide to hand the keys to. The only thing that’s certain is the NBA offseason has been bananas, and free agency doesn’t even start until July 1.

Enjoy the community thread, and be respectful to one another. It’s been a stressful few days for Lakers fans, so let’s stay civil and collectively enjoy a wild night of NBA action without a single bounce of a ball. Our mods are doing their best to keep it clean, so give them a helping hand.
