Chad Ford says the Lakers 'loved' Okafor, might consider trading for him

All indications from the Los Angeles Lakers front office have suggested that the team does not plan to trade the second overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said in a recent radio interview that selecting a player with the pick "is our intention at this time," but such comments still have yet to dissuade speculation that the team will move the pick.

One possibility that hasn't been mentioned a lot previously is the possibility of Los Angeles looking to trading the pick for Philadelphia 76ers forward Jahlil Okafor.
