For most rebuilding teams, getting the second pick in the NBA Draft is a big deal. However, if you're the Los Angeles Lakers, it may not be as simple as it looks.

One of the big-market teams in the NBA, the Lakers are looking to rebound from a disastrous 2014-15 season by gaining new players and improving on what they have.

They're expecting Kobe Bryant to be back on the court and, despite his advanced age, he still probably plays as one of the best in the league, which always helps a wayward team.

Jordan Clarkson has emerged as a very dependable guard who has fallen in the Lakers' laps as a perfect solution for their point guard conundrum.

Despite being injured very early in the season, Julius Randle is still seen as a player with a very bright future in the NBA and will be returning next year.

And now, the Lakers were given the second pick in the NBA Draft, with incoming players showing so much potential that they could be used as a cornerstone for the future.

However, reports have surfaced that the Lakers may be looking more at the near future rather than later down the road.

Some say that the Laker organization is not completely impressed with Jahlil Okafor and Karl-Anthony Towns, the top two prospects in the draft.

Others believe that they may draft either of the two and use them as an anchor to trade for the current stars like New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony or Portland Trail Blazers' LaMarcus Aldridge.

Amidst all these rumors, Lakers' General Manager, Mitch Kupchak responded in an interview to ESPN, claiming that for now, they would be keeping their pick.

"It looks as though we'll use our pick this year," Kupchak told ESPN's Colin Cowherd in a radio interview.

"Let's just say there was a team that had the fifth or sixth or seventh pick, and they wanted to go to No. 2. In that area of the draft, just to move up two or three or four slots, normally, it's hard to do. And the price that that team would pay would be high, because they've targeted a player that they really want. Obviously the other team would know that, and they would have to pay for that."

This is highly understandable, as the Lakers know how important the pick is, but they are also ready to listen to any offer. This is how the business works and as long as the Lakers can see it as beneficial to the team, then that's the decision they are ultimately going to make.
