If the Lakers don’t finish the season with a friendly bounce of a ping pong ball that lands them a top-five pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, L.A.’s first round draft choice will belong to the Suns.
That was part of what went back to Phoenix in exchange for Steve Nash, who Lakers fans are still angry with to this day for the injuries that limited his ability to contribute much at all during his brief time in Los Angeles.
But even if the Lakers do keep the pick this season, at some point, they’ll be sending one back to the Suns.
L.A.’s first round picks in 2016 and 2017 are top-three protected, but in the unlikely event that they manage to keep both of those, the pick would finally become the property of Phoenix in 2018.
This fact — that the Lakers will have to give up a first round pick to the Suns eventually — is the reason Jeanie Buss recently cited for being against the idea of tanking this season.
From Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times:
“The draft pick to Phoenix, if we don’t give it to them this year, we have to give it to them next year, so I don’t really see what the logic would be,” said Buss on Tuesday, via SiriusXM NBA Radio’s “Off the Dribble” with Jared Greenberg and former Lakers champion Rick Fox.
“Try to tank to keep it this year, because we’d just have to give it away next year — that doesn’t resonate with me,” she continued.* “I think it’s impossible to tell your coach and tell your players, ‘Try not to win.’* That goes against everything an organization is about.”

Not to Lakers fans though, they are notably stupid.

PR Stunt.....
Except Jeanie is a dumbass.
Homer take.
PR as in "Public Re ation."
Everything you own is due to a tank. , you struck the template.
^Oh, yeah, just in' hilarious. You asshole, you.
What is she supposed to say? Much ado about nothing. of course it's ty logic for a tank commander like myself to hear but what member of a FO is gonna say "tank"? Rebuild is almost a dirty word to the league and commissioner's office. no owner can openly admit to tanking.
Still not as terrible as the Lakers
That she waxes it once a month.
Probably smells like a grape.
