Seat lock starts day 1 (95% sure on that) On AEs, it starts the day the results are posted.
If you get ATL/DTW717 or NYC220, your seat lock would only be 1 year since neither of those planes are in LAX. But it could be up to a year after before you convert (depending on the AE)
If you wanted to move sooner and got NYC220, you could bid 220 to SLC or SEA if an AE comes out in training.
