Linebacker turned PG.

The former Cowboys player named Bruce Thornton was a corner. Well, the most recent one. There was also one who was a DE for the Cowboys 79-81

We're expecting a ton of trade activity throughout tonight's second round.

Among that movement: I'm being told the Lakers are working to trade up even higher in the second round, after already acquiring the No. 56 pick tonight.

Among the many trade calls that Memphis took, one was from the Lakers, who are being aggressive and trying to move up again.

Richie Saunders is staying with the Grizzlies, for now.

I was talking about his frame. He is as big as it gets for a 6'1 guard.

Memphis Richie Saunders. The "top names" don't seem to be going off yet.

[dirkfansince1998]

I guess I wasn't the only one that had Saunders > Evans.

[speedkilz88]

Minnesota Isaiah Evans
Cleveland Meleek Thomas
Denver Trevon Brazile
LAC Baba Miller

Brooklyn? or was this a trade?  Isaiah Evans

Headed to Minnesota for the Randle trade.

Thomas off the board now to SAC.

Good pick for them.

Still have Kayil!

Good player but he’s 25 and coming off an ACL injury and will likely redshirt this year. Never felt like a Masai/Schmitz pick.

[Deebo]

Do we have pick 48?

Do we have pick 48?

That's what they claim.

[SleepingHero]

Do we have pick 48?

Allegedly.

I'm curious why the Lakers are so keen to move up.

And if they lost their guy cause we haven't heard about it since Evans was picked.

I don't think anyone wanted their pick it was so late.  They would have to offer up something pretty good in the future to move up that far.

Source: The Lakers are attempting to acquire the 37th pick from the Thunder to move up.

LA wants Henri Veesaar.

No trade. Lakers lack of assets, specifically future second-round picks, are hurting them in trade talks.

LA still wants to move up for Veesaar.

Pretty solid trade for MIA.

They desperately needed shooting and he fills a seat for as cheap as possible

Pacers are trading for the No. 38 pick, sources say. It'll be Braden Smith.
