Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Anfernee Simons, C Jusuf Nurkic, 2023 First-Round Pick (No. 3 – POR) 

Portland Trail Blazers Receive: F/C Anthony Davis 

With the third pick in the NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers select…

Well, we don’t know. This year’s draft holds plenty of intrigue. If the Lakers acquired Portland’s pick, they might have a wide range of interesting options. 

One of them might even be Scoot Henderson. For a long time, he was the consensus second overall pick. With that said, the Hornets hold the second selection. They’ve already got LaMelo Ball, and as such, they’re allegedly giving Brandon Miller a serious look.

Still, the Hornets could go the Best Player Available route and select Henderson. That would leave Brandon Miller on the board.

Yet, Amen Thompson of the Overtime Elite would be an intriguing option as well.
