The Lakers can't deal their first round pick this year. So yeah, they have nothing to offer. I would love to hear Flip's reaction.
They could do a pick swap, which would still be pretty valuable. The problem is that, if you're the Timberwolves, there's no way you make that trade right now. You can't do it without knowing where the pick falls in the draft considering the Lakers have basically nothing else of value to offer. If you get the number one pick and nothing else for Love, fair trade, as this draft gets you a shot at another franchise guy. If you get the fourth or fifth pick and nothing else, that's probably a terrible trade unless you really hit a home run in the lottery, and thus far Flip Saunders hasn't proven he can even pick guys that belong in the NBA in the draft, let alone finding a diamond with the fourth or fifth.
