It has been said that the Lakers are heavily considering making a trade on draft night; this is the one that is close to happening

Tomorrow will be held the 2023 NBA draft; a lot of expectation has been going on, and even when the purple and gold have brought a lot of prospects for predraft workouts, it has been reported, Pelinka is thinking of trading their No. 17 pick alongside Malik Beasley and Mo Bamba.

Malik Beasley didn't meet Coach Ham's and the fans' expectations, as the SG failed to bring his specialty of shooting 3-pointers to Los Angeles, and his time could be up now.

Meanwhile, Mo Bamba needed more playing time to make a case for what he could bring to this team, as he was more off the court than on it due to a couple of injuries.

Now, according to NBA insider Jovan Buha, Myles Turner and Buddy Hield are on a shortlist of players that are linked to the Lakers for tomorrow's draft night, and these could be the players that will be replacing Beasley and Bamba in case the expected trade happens.

The fans are getting desperate with the Lakers' front office

While many teams are already doing different movements, the Lakers haven't done anything, and the quietness makes some fans nervous. Still, others remembered the same thing that happened at the trade deadline, and then Pelinka worked out his magic.
