The New Orleans Pelicans may have a very different avenue to acquire an elite talent with their draft pick. The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly on the hunt for another lottery pick and dangling D'Angelo Russell to acquire such a pick. Chad Ford said on Sportscenter that it is likely they are shopping for another pick, possibly in the top five.
I think more likely the Lakers are trying to pick up another pick in this draft, in the top five. And the guy they have that they can shop is D'Angelo Russell.
