“One league source told Hoops Wire last week that he envisions the Lakers and Heat making a strong play for a top-five pick. Also, the Memphis Grizzlies hold the No. 9 overall pick and could be among those exploring the idea of moving down. Some feel that in this draft, there won’t be much of a difference in upside between, say, the Nos. 9 and 20 selections.” Amico wrote.
Lakers Are Making Tough Decisions After the Elimination
With the 17th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the Lakers may consider adding a highly skilled player who can match the level of star players LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The Miami Heat currently hold the 15th overall pick in the first round, and moving up in the draft could improve their chances of selecting a player who can enhance their roster and help them dominate in the next season.
The Heat is aiming to make a comeback and reach the NBA Finals after being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in 2023-24. On the other hand, the Lakers were forced to make tough decisions after their early elimination in the playoffs against the Denver Nuggets.
They started by firing the entire coaching staff, including head coach Darvin Ham, and began their search for a potential replacement, with JJ Redick rumored to be the frontrunner for the position. Additionally, the Lakers were keen on retaining their star player, LeBron James, for the next season.
However, there is increased speculation about the Lakers being interested in adding Bronny James to the roster, as James was seen working out with the team.
The NBA Draft is scheduled for June 26-27, 2024.
