The Los Angeles Lakers are less than one week away from having to make a decision on their first-round pick in the upcoming 2021 NBA Draft.
The Lakers have been linked to several free agents in the past few days, which could mean they will look to move their draft selection. But because the team is bereft of any future talent, they could instead look to hold onto it.
It is no secret that Los Angeles could use more shooting at the guard or forward spots, which explains why prospects like Chris Duarte have routinely been linked to them.
