Even on a slightly quieter second day of the NBA Draft, the chaos hasn’t stopped — and the Lakers are making sure their name stays in the headlines.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring the No. 36 overall pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves, in exchange for the No. 45 pick and cash considerations.

It’s a small move on the surface, but this kind of trade-up shows LA is being aggressive in the margins — something they’ll need to master to stay competitive in the West. The Lakers clearly had a specific target in mind and didn’t want to risk him going off the board. With LeBron James aging and the roster needing more cost-controlled depth, second-round picks are increasingly important.

Whether this pick ends up being a sleeper or simply a rotation piece, LA continues to work the board and take calculated swings.

Minnesota, on the other hand, moves down just nine spots and pockets some cash, helping a team already deep and looking more for flexibility than extra young players.

It’s no blockbuster — but in a wild offseason already packed with monster trades, don’t sleep on these subtle chess moves.
