Lakers trying to acquire Thompson?

The Lakers have been in discussions to acquire Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson.

The deal would be part of a larger three-way trade that sends Minnesota All-Star power forward Kevin Love to the Warriors. The Lakers are interested but the deal has been put on hold because of a difference in opinion within the Warriors’ organization whether or not to keep Thompson while trying to obtain Love.

L.A. has only three players signed to guaranteed contracts for next season in Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Robert Sacre — not exactly the kind of Big Three that wins you championships. The Lakers are also a franchise that isn’t interested in a patient rebuild, and would rather add proven star-level talent now to try to begin their rise back to respectability.

there is another draft coming up?

The Lakers will not be a contender for a very loooooooong time. (Attempted) Moves like that just show the level of desperation within the organisation.

You're almost a month late on this. The rumour was #7 for Klay I believe.
