The Los Angeles Lakers have had a mostly quiet pre-draft preparation process, at least compared to normal years for a team with the second overall pick. While coverage of other teams has been a flurry of trade rumors and leaks, the Lakers pretty much seem set to just make the simple choice and draft Duke forward Brandon Ingram with their first rounder and call it a night.
However, yesterday's report from Ramona Shelburne and Chad Ford of ESPN did note that while the Lakers "don't want to trade the pick and are bullish on Ingram," they could be swayed to move the selection if they get a "chance to get a proven young All-Star.
