Watch Lonzo Ball give his Los Angeles Lakers pitch to LeBron James.

Joining ESPN’s Michael Smith and Jemele Hill on their nationally televised program “SC6”, Lonzo Ball gave LeBron James his pitch to join him on the Los Angeles Lakers.

Winning and a promise to get him the ball.

Tomorrow night, the 2017 NBA Draft will begin and this year is unlike any year before it.

The Philadelphia 76ers have moved up in the draft to select point guard Markelle Fultz with the first overall pick, according to Sports Illustrated’s Jeremy Woo.

The Boston Celtics, the top seed in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, had the top overall pick before ESPN reported they were trading it for the 76ers third overall pick.

The Los Angeles Lakers have the second overall pick and, while they hope to acquire Paul George and James next summer, they may select a prospect Ball who has grabbed the most headlines of any prospect since James. This, all while the Cleveland Cavaliers organization is in disarray after parting ways with general manager David Griffin.

Griffin was highly respected throughout the organization and especially by James, who lobbied for him to get a new contract this summer.

Chauncey Billups, who James and head coach Tyronn Lue respect, will likely be the Cavs’ new manager. His intellect, demeanor, insight as a former player and his ability to connect with the team will help ease the transition from Griffin to a new front office group.

Nonetheless, James will want to play where he has the best chance to win; while he has a stranglehold on the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavs are trying to land Paul George, Jimmy Butler or Carmelo Anthony to help them outlast the Golden State Warriors in a battle of attrition.

Unfortunately, Butler would want to stay in Chicago, according to TNT’s David Aldridge. This decision would maximize his earning potential as he’d only be able to get the new designated player veteran’s exemption if he stayed with his original team. Anthony has continuously said he wants to stay in New York and trading for him is difficult because it’s difficult to gauge his real trade value.

George wants to play in Los Angeles, according to USA Today’s Sam Amick.

While there is a bit of debate about who the Lakers want to select with their pick, whether they select Ball, De’Aaron Fox or Josh Jackson they’ll have the chance to sign James. James has yet to address the speculation he’ll opt out of his contract next season and, while he owns a home in Los Angeles, he’s also been rumored to have interest in joining the Lakers since his first free agency.

Kobe Bryant was there before. Now James can make his mark on the most storied franchise in the league.

Ball, whose father LaVar has perturbed the NBA world with his brash confidence, will be expected to be there as well. While there are conflicting reports about the Lakers interest in Ball, Magic Johnson is the president of basketball operations and has likened Ball’s playing style to his own which is interesting considering he’s a Hall of Famer and widely regarded as the best point guard of all-time. Before Johnson’s comments, Ball was being likened to 10-time All-Star and 1995 Rookie of the Year Jason Kidd.

Ball has drawn these lofty comparisons because of his height at 6-foot-6, basketball IQ, passing ability (7.6 assists per game), athleticism (can finish lobs above the rim) and shooting stroke (made 41.2 percent of his three-point attempts). That combination would put him in a class all of his own in the NBA.

While he divvies up the shot attempts for George and James, two triple threats, he’d get his own shots off depending on what the defense gives him. He would more or less work seamlessly with the other two on the perimeter since they would all be able slashers and shooters.

Looking at the Lakers potential Big Three on paper, you have to admit, it all sounds good.
