The Golden State Warriors have bought early second round picks in each of the past two drafts, acquiring Patrick McCaw in 2016 at No. 38 and Jordan Bell in 2017 at No. 38.

The Warriors' first round pick will be at No. 28 this year.

“For us, it’s (players drafted) 20 to 40 or 20 to 50. Those are the players that are here to some extent,” Lacob said. “And that’s where we are — 28. Maybe we’ll buy a second-round pick again. I’m very aggressive with respective to those, as you know.”

With such an expensive roster, the Warriors have had to round out their roster as cheaply as possible.
