[Wojnarowski] ESPN Sources with @DraftExpress: The New Orleans Pelicans are planning to defer the Los Angeles Lakers’ first-round pick until 2025, clearing the way for LA to select 17th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. Pick conditions were part of the Anthony Davis trade in 2019.

Lakers are gonna take Bronny James.

Jared McCain is a laker

No surprised 2024 draft isn’t great
Jalen Hood Schifino reroll
Makes sense, if I had to pick between a mediocre pick in a mediocre draft or a (possibly better) pick in a better draft I know which one I’d choose.
Bronny James, you are a Los Angeles Laker
Redick and Bronny to the Lakers
please use this pick wisely instead of picking bronny james
LeBron James Jr, YOU are a Los Angeles Laker.
Well now we can all blame the Pelicans when the Lakers draft Bronny
Worst kept secret all season.
take him at 17 Lakers! if you don’t he will be gone at 22. so you gotta blow the 17th pick on him
Get ready to learn Californian Bron…nevermind
Lake show better take Edey. If we take Bronny we RIOT
Gambling that Lebron will take his talents to Phoenix
Is this a low key mental fuck you move by the pelicans GM to say we think you’re actually gonna suck next year more than expected. Think about that Lakers GM. We think you suck.
It’ll be unprotected, right?
There’s a chance the Lakers have an “everything goes wrong” kind of season and that’s a high lotto pick.
Sacramento taking Bronny at 13th would be the funniest thing ever.
Pick is getting traded
Welcome to the Lakers Zach Edey!
Starting to wonder how many times we are going to see this same news
Bronny being picked as the 17th pick is going to destroy this subreddit.
Can they just keep deferring?
