Sold the 1st and earlier 2nd, the late 2nd round pick is playing overseas somewhere.

We sold the draft rights of the 29th pick to the Knicks for $3 million (more or less) plus a 2011 NYK 2nd Round Pick.
We traded the rights to the 42nd pick to the Heat for a 2011 Miami 2nd Round Pick.
We drafted Chinemelu Elonu (PF, Jr., Texas A&M) with the 59th pick. He is currently playing overseas, can't remember where exactly.

I guess the logc would be, why bring in a gaurenteed contract for a player who may not be able to make the team?

Current LA Lakers draft outlook:

2010 Memphis Grizzlies 2nd Round Pick
2010 Own 2nd Round Pick

2011 Own 1st Round Pick
2011 New York Knicks 2nd Round Pick
2011 Miami Heat 2nd Round Pick
2011 Own 2nd Round Pick

Maybe we are targeting the 2011 draft or maybe we can trade some of these future 2nd Rounders for something!
