The Lakers and Celtics both will garner top 3 picks in this year's draft, and the Lakers will find a way to end up with 2 picks in the top 10, if not 3.

Look up skinwalker ranch. Jesse the body Ventura and ultra tin foil hats.
So the Lakers will just magically get two top ten picks? What is the NBA gonna do, just say that there are 31 picks in the draft this year?

Just keeping the conspiracy alive. The Lakers will pull off another BS trade like the one that brought them Gasol in the first place. 3 future 2nd round picks and Steve Nash for the #5 and 2 future first rounders unprotected. The Lakers will get the #1 pick, the Celtics likely #2, regardless of their records at the end of the season as long as they make the lottery.
So then the Lakers draft Embiid and Exum. Or Randle or Parker if they are available at 5 even. Then they acquire LBJ. Trade away Gasol for filler, or in keeping with the conspiracy, trade away Gasol for another all-star and/or top picks later.
Exum
Kobe
LBJ
Randle (maybe Love?)
Embiid
Good for a 3-4 rings in a row and the reinstatement of the NBA darlings to the elite.
If the lakers get two of those guys that would reek of conspiracy.
Can you imagine exum playing with embiid though? That would be a thing of beauty.
