At the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery, the Los Angeles Lakers had a 4.9% chance of landing a top-four pick and successfully moved up seven spots from the No. 11 pick to do so.
Although the Lakers will have the No. 4 pick, the selection will be made for the New Orleans Pelicans on June 20.
Nearly five months since the 2018-19 NBA trade deadline, the Lakers traded Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, and multiple draft picks (No. 4 included) for Anthony Davis.
However, the Davis trade cannot be completed until July 6.
