Because of the rookie class’ potential, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said he may seek acquiring additional first-round draft picks.
“We may look to get a pick some other way because we have guys we interviewed who aren’t going to be gone before the second round, but they’ll be around after (our current pick),” Kupchak said.
Outside of their first-round pick, the Lakers have little else to offer in trade value.
“We need to bring in players at every position, really,” Kupchak said.
Yet, Kupchak maintained his stance from last month’s exit meetings that the Lakers are open toward trading their current first-round pick should they find a suitable offer.
