Lakers have always built teams with free agency and trades.
The only player they have drafted in recent memory to have any type of success on the court with them is Andrew Bynum.

Even Kobe was not technically a draft pick...

The idea of the 76ers sending Thaddeus Young and the 10th pick for the Lakers #7 pick has been shopped around - if that got inked today or tomorrow.

I would see the Lakers shipping off both of them and maybe one of their low-cost role players for a player or two, then lure a free agent or two in - and try to see where that gets them.


Although they have a steep road ahead of them, LA doesn't want to build, they want to buy.
