A random drawing would be the most fun; I'm not sure why any team would warrant any other method. The sucky teams last year have already gotten their high picks, and the winningest teams have already sucked up with late picks. A drawing would give the talking heads something to talk about (conspiracies, good luck, bad luck, etc.) for the entire season and then some. Better yet, do the draft as soon as the deal is done, even if it's months before the draft happens. Publicity 101.
In any case, with a backlog of up to two years to choose from (plus those who decided to skip this draft), expect it to be a very good pool of players.
Another creative tactic: Base it on profitability--the financially weakest and/or most bloated teams draft first. (I don't see the Fakers or even Donald Sterling supporting this option. Also, there would be debate on how profitability is actually measured, and it rewards those teams that have overspent and/or have been managed poorly.)
Hmmmm, let's go through who will definitely be an All-Star 2 years from now. 12 man roster. I think they usually like to keep a balance of at least 2 PG's and 2 true big men. That leaves 8 spots for G/F.
(G) Chris Paul (if still in West after contract) (Also a lock for fan vote)
(G) Westrbook
(F) Durant (Lock for fan votes)
(F) Griffin (future lock for fan votes)
(F) Nowitzki
(G) Bryant (he will get fan voted in until he retires)
Those are the six guys that I am 100% sure they will be All-Stars two years down the road. That leaves 6 more people. I guess Hayward has a chance to be one of them, but I think that will be 100% tied to the Jazz having an outstanding season. Other players will be able to out stat him (which is 75% of what being an All-Star is), but if the Jazz have a strong season with Hayward being viewed as an X-Factor (ala Ginobili to Spurs) then it can happen.

Alphabetical. This will also be the year that the Lakers become the Los Angeles Lakers of Anaheim

Nice one, but wouldn't they need to become the Anaheim Lakers of Los Angeles to get the #1 pick?
I predict players will get a year credit on their contracts, albeit unpaid, for the lost season. So Deron will be a FA and sign with the Lakers, replacing Derek Fisher.

It's going to be tough, but I think he has the potential to become an All-Star.
Even if he doesn't, all-star is just a label. Devin Harris deserved to start at the ASG, but the fans voted in old Iverson, thankfully the coaches got him in the game.
Hayward is often compared to Ginobili, who's been a top-level player at his position for years now, but only has 2 all-star appearances to his name.
Regardless, he has a bright future. And his style of play is entertaining!

I am not sure Bryant and Dirk will be playing into two years.
Ignorant comment. Bryant will play until he cant walk and Dirk is only 33 (and just had arguably his best year, probably has 5 years left).
