2019 NBA Draft: Lakers Purchase No. 46 Pick From Magic, Select Talen Horton-Tucker

The Los Angeles Lakers made the biggest move they could make by trading for Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans that is expected to be completed on July 6.

However, the Davis trade cost the Lakers their No. 4 pick, leaving them without any picks in the 2019 NBA Draft.

With the 2019-20 NBA season roster basically empty, the Lakers reportedly were looking to purchase second round draft picks. By doing this, the Lakers would get a young prospect and not hurt their salary cap by doing so.
