Following their playoff exit, the Los Angeles Lakers are preparing for the NBA draft, where they will have the No. 25 pick. Unlike last year, they control their own first-round selection after not having it due to the Anthony Davis trade in 2019. The Lakers finished the regular season with a 53-29 record, tying with the New York Knicks but losing the tiebreaker, which gives the Knicks the No. 24 pick. As the draft approaches, speculation arises about whether the Lakers will use this pick to draft a new player or trade it to strengthen their roster. Reports suggest that they are eyeing Giannis Antetokounmpo, the superstar of the Milwaukee Bucks, which could involve trading the No. 25 pick to secure his talents.
