The #2 Pick

This one's easy: the Lakers will take either Towns or Okafor and be more than happy with either one (though I suspect they prefer Okafor). Obviously the Lakers love to wheel and deal, it is possible they move the pick before or after the draft but I doubt it.  The Lakers build through free agency, for a #2 pick the trade value is virtually never as good as just keeping the pick.

Okafor and Randle (both lefties, no?) give them an interesting young nucleus for the post-Kobe period....though my gut tells me Winslow and Randle would be better.
