The Los Angeles Lakers are going through a rough patch right now. The team has lost four out of its last five games, and just recently, Anthony Davis, arguably its best player, went down with a right foot injury.

To make matters worse for the Lakers, they have very few assets at their disposal to make a trade and upgrade the roster. The only first-round picks the franchise owns this decade is its 2027 and 2029 first-rounders, neither of which currently hold significant value.

In a recent FanDuel TV appearance, The Athletic’s Shams Charania explained how the Lakers’ lack of draft capital limits their capacity to make deals, both now and in the future.
