The Lakers have made a few things clear since winning the 2009 NBA Championship: the team wants to bring everyone back, which means the team won't be spending much on anyone who isn't currently a Laker, which means the No. 29 in today's draft is certainly for sale. It appears the Lakers found a buyer.The Knicks have reportedly agreed to take L.A.'s pick in exchange for $3 million, which has been the going rate for a first-rounder lately. (It also happens to be the most cash a team can give another team in a trade.) ESPN reports the Knicks may be looking at Miami point guard Jack McClinton at No. 29, though I imagine a more ballyhooed prospect will end up falling there. The Lakers, however, will have to make the pick tonight (the team has already traded its 2010 first round pick to Memphis) and trade the rights to the player to New York tomorrow.
