2 other Lakers 1st rounders.
That’s a lot of pieces to make up the start of a good young core around Zion.

Details about the Lakers picks, which came out later:
No 4 in 2019
Top 8 protected in 2021 (becomes unprotected in 2022)
Unprotected swap in 23
Unprotected pick in 24
Unprotected swap in 25
Betting on the Lakers being bad again in 4-6 years when Lebron is 38-40 and probably retiring is a solid bet. Lakers are going to be going all-in on a championship window over the next 3 years.
