Due to the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers agreeing to a trade, a new draft order has been set for the 2018 NBA Draft.

Although the NBA Draft officially starts tomorrow, the event has not stopped the actions from some NBA teams.

Not too long ago, the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers agreed to a deal where the Lakers will receive the 76ers’ second-round pick (39th) for this draft. In return, Philadelphia will receive Los Angeles’ second-round pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and cash.
