With the NBA Draft less than 24 hours away, the Los Angeles Lakers are already wheeling and dealing.

The Lakers have acquired the Philadelphia 76ers' 39th overall pick in exchange for a 2019 second-round pick (which came to the Lakers courtesy of the Chicago Bulls) and cash, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Sixers could afford to part with a second-round pick because they had four of them entering this year's draft. The Lakers no longer have their original picks, but they'll also own the Cleveland Cavaliers' first-rounder (25th overall) thanks to the midseason trade that sent out Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance.

We'll probably be hearing more from Los Angeles on draft night.
