Lakers Reporter
Things are looking up in Los Angeles.
It was quite a Tuesday night for the Lakers, who now hold the rights to the No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft thanks to an improbable Draft Lottery in New York City, when L.A. was the only team to improve upon its chances when they swapped slots with the New York Knicks.
After finishing with the fourth-worst record in the NBA in 2014-15, L.A. was slotted to have the fourth-best odds, and the Knicks the second.
But selections 14 through five went chalk, each of the teams missing the 2015 playoffs staying in their allotted position.
