The Los Angeles Lakers have been looking to acquire a future first round pick on the trade market in recent days. The Lakers would take on 18-19 salary in exchange for a pick as they have cap space.

The pick could be used to improve a prospective trade opportunity to acquire Kawhi Leonard.

The San Antonio Spurs haven't ruled out a trade of Leonard to the Lakers, but they are unlikely to be motivated to agree upon a deal unless they have extracted every possible asset.
