The Los Angeles Lakers are going to be busy over the next month or so. Whether the team keeps their top-three protected pick in the 2017 NBA Draft or not, they are going to have to work out more than a few players in order to canvas the league for prospects to take with their late first-round pick they got from the Houston Rockets (28th overall) and their second-round selection (which would be sent to the Orlando Magic if the Lakers keep their first-round pick.
Got all that? Good. Now, without further ado, here is a list of the players the Lakers have looked at, worked out or met with that we know of, updating as reports come in:
