I think the Lakers trade the pick. Not sure the scenario, but they want as many "now" players as they can get. Not "a couple few years away" players.
Definitely think they should trade the pick...for the right player.
But, they must keep the max slot open. So, whoever they trade for - they gotta make sure they have a slot open for Kawhi. IMO - he's the most likely player to come to the Lakers...and if Lakers can get his commitment and then go to other teams for that 3rd star - they'll be in much better position. Then they don't have to look so needy.
I'd be more than happy to keep the 4th pick with all the young players if Lakers get Kawhi.
that would be my ideal scenario
