The Lakers do not have to wait 30 days to trade a drafted player. Teams get around that problem by trading the draft rights on draft day. That’s what the Lakers did with their #28 pick last year. They made the pick for the Thunder and then traded the rights to the player plus Danny Green to OKC for Dennis Schroder. 30 days later the Thunder sign the player to whom they held the rights. That’s how teams circumvent the Septian rule for trading first round picks two years in a row and not having to wait 30 days to trade a drafted player.

Lakers also 7th best opponent field goal percentage and 5th best opponent 3-point percentage. Defense starting to catch up with the offense.
